On about 29/10/1878 SConst Kelly and his search party had intended going to Moyhu after they had visited Greta, but it got very dark and commenced to thunder and lighten about four miles on the Boggy Creek. They camped here and it was raining all night. They had no tents. The rest of the men had a small blue blanket each, but SConst Kelly had none. (RC7982)
