== What were the Murray Flats like in the late 1870's ==
The area had many selectors. There were a number of quite famous vineyards and a few dairies which produced good quality cheese

The '''[[KellyGang|KellyGang]]''' made the Murray Flats on the evening of Tuesday 29/10/[[ev78-10--4Mansfield Murders|1878]] and the morning of the Wednesday. They were on there way to [[Howlong (2)|Howlong]] in New South Wales after the Mansfield Murders. They tried to cross the [[Murray River at Kellygang|River Murray]] but it was in flood. The punt at [[bungowannah|Bungowannah]] was under water and it could not go any where.
SConst [[SConst P Mullane|Mullane]] was part of a search party of about 7 police to the Murray Flats, on 31/10/1878. ([[Royal Commission report day 37 page 27|RC13524]])
DSet [[Det Kennedy|Kennedy]] led the search party to the Murray flats.
Const [[Const Twomey|Twomey]] informed Insp [[Brooke Smith|Brook Smith]] that there was information that the '''KellyGang''' were on the Wodonga flats, so he asked me to go to the railway station to get a truck ready to convey the horses by the next train the nearest way to the flats. The police boxed the horses and went by the next train as far as [[Chiltern|Chiltern]]. There was a telegram there awaiting him and it instructed Insp Brook Smith and his men to remain at Wangaratta, and that Sgt [[Wodonga (2)|Harkin]] and Constable Twomey were to proceed to the Wodonga flats and to assist Kennedy and his party there. ([[Royal Commission report day 51 page 18|RC17447]])
On 1/11/878 there was a report of a man having been stuck up by the '''KellyGang''' on the Murray flats near the [[William Baumgarten|Baumgarten]]'s place. ([[Royal Commission report day 2 page 2|RC344]])
It is likely tat the KellyGang also met up with [[Gideon Margery|Margery]] at this time ([[The True of Bushrangers Chapter 6 page 2|CHC]])
