Abstract
An account of a westward expedition of some Aborigines, mostly members of the first Aboriginal Police Corps in the Port Phillip District, from Melbourne in 1838 is presented. Several discrepancies in the story, resulting in the conviction of seven men variously for killing sheep, taking potatoes and killing a European, are highlighted.
