I must have heard this story when I toured Craigmoor in 2002—but that was a long time ago. I do have vague memories of seeing that bird. It was another scrap of this tantalising story. I’m really pleased to have been able to flesh it out.

The next challenge is to try and track down who “Black Nat” was—although the likelihood of his name being on the passenger lists associated with the Ceres is a lot less. I read on Trove that he was once in partnership with “Northumberland Jimmy”, James Brown, on a gold claim, so maybe there are records associated with that.

Anyway, I’m glad you enjoyed the reading.
