Black Creek News - 1829


The Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser Thursday 5 November 1829

A human skeleton, we understand, was discovered a few days ago, at a place called Black Creek, Hunter River, but no idea is as yet entertained as to who the deceased was, or how he came by his death. It may have been some unfortunate runaway who died in the bush, and of whom all traces are lost.

The Sydney Monitor Saturday 14 November 1829

At a place called Black Creek at Hunter's River, the skeleton of a man has been found; along with which, was a piece of a jacket, a leather belt, and a piece of rusty iron; enquiries have been set -on foot to discover whose these remains are.
