G'day Max,

I've been very busy of late with a few other projects and Christmas etc., so for me, things have stalled on SBC and I must get back to it and make a couple more trips up there. Everything that has been presented to me is very in depth and detailed and will take some digesting. What I will say is that I don't belive the Two Huts site is the correct one, although still a very significant find and of historical value.

To be continued.

Fitzy.

Hi Max,

All is good. Have been quietly working away with the rest of the team adding some additional material to our findings/report.

With the rest of the teams approval may post some of this material onto the Forum at a later stage, further proving that the site is near the Kelly tree.


I remain more than satisfied with our findings.

Cheers,
Glenn

Many thanks Mr Standing for making the information available on this forum that at last the team of diligent workers named therein have now placed their investigative report into the public domain.

I have taken a speedy gallop to the shop of that Mr Dean, at Glenrowan, and purchased just one copy of the publication. It took a bit of doing given my spiritual being but Gary, with his work in this field of the spirit world - I think that is what he dabbles in amongst other wide and varied matters,was able to comprehend my need.
A furious ride back home, to devour the investigators' words was made.
Some hours later, I can say that how impressed I am.
At long last the place can be shown correctly (2 stone piles elsewhere I see are mentioned but rejected because of the comprehensive analysis and investigation and the use of ALL sources and professional assistanc to determine BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT the correct position of our camp on the western side of the Creek).

I do hope the team receives due approbation and wide reporting of their findings.
History is now corrected and those wishing to visit the camp site area will now know they are at the correct place of the scene.

A hearty congratulations to Messrs Briggs, Dean, Gill and Standing for the time and work they have contributed to conclude this matter.

Oh, and I do like the CSI at SBC moniker that heads the document.
It couldn't be more concise and correct as to the work therein.
With salutations to all,
Thomas.

PS Mr Standings posting preceeding this provides advice as to how to buy the report.

Congratulations to all those involved with the detailed research and production of this definitive document. I now have a copy and would encourage all those interested to get one and absorb the information. I think there is no doubt that the conclusions reached in the report will firmly and finally establish the correct site of the Stringybark Creek encounter. Having read all the various writings many times, and covered the ground many times doing my own research; this is the only site that ticks all the boxes. The picnic ground site is clearly wrong, the eastern Ian Jones "tourist" site demonstrably does not stand up to scrutiny and Mr. Denheld's two huts site just does not work geographically. It amazes me that it's taken over 130years for researchers to establish this; the correct location. This research group has succintly evidenced what some of us have thought for many years. They are to be commended. This paper will surely be a very valuable document to any future researchers.

I urge you all to get a copy.
cheers,
duncs

Duncs and Thomas.
Thank you for the postings.
I now must make some comments.

The team has completed exhausive, analytical assessment of all the material that we have been able to find, as well as on-the-ground assessments.
I offer as just one example of the reports assessments - the use of professional surveyors to undertake a survey of the ground, which as it is clealy shown matches perfectly to the Herald's reporter's narrative of his visit to the camp site (No other ground along SBC matches this profile!. This reporter went with Burman and others to the site in early November, and his full narrative is included in its entirety in our report.
(Others who use the term "Primary Evidence" cannot dismiss such detailed, and contemporaneous writing).
There are many other matters in the report which have all been substantiated by diligent and critical work by the team members.

And as the posting recently by McIntyre says: The proof is Beyond Reasonable Doubt as to where the police camp site lay.
Watch the press and other media for coverage of our investigation.
I am reminded of the following quoted in the Royal Commission transcript at questions 13182 & 1498:
Joe Byrne’s sister tells Mrs. Sherritt Snr that “they (the outlaws) are going to do something that will not only astonish Australia, but the whole world.”
Well, we may not astonish the world, but I will be pleased to simply astonish Australia - that at last the question of where the police camp was has been correctly identified.
We have been able to draw upon much material which was not known, or available years ago when another place was determined, and agreed to by those interested, as the correct place.

I record here my thanks to Linton, Gary and Glenn for their open minds, inquisitive assessments, local knowledge of the Stringybark Creek area, careful and detailed analysis and field observations to enable us to test and confirm ALL evidence we have been able to amass.
The heading of our report, and our team's name :CSI @ SBC says it succinctly.
And finally a thank you to those others who contributed to our knowledge and work, all of whom are listed in the report's acknowledgements.
I have made many new friends.
