Dan Morgan’s last ride 150 years on. 11 April 2015. Arriving at the Clubrooms at 8:30 we found a good turn out including Harry and Averil, Andrew Pargeter, Peter and Chris Mrjana, John Newton and his lady friend, Steve Grenness, Kel Schofield, Paul Zanuso and a mate, John Kelley, Al Callaway, Ian Francis, new members Daryn and Dianne Farrell in their immaculate LX Torana (bought new by Daryn in 1977) and Dave and Glen (friends of Bryce’s) brought a clean EJ Holden along for a look. At 9:00 we left for Morgan’s Lookout with Harry and Averils Mercury leading the way. Monica Simpfendorfer enthusiastically waved us through the main street of Walla Walla then, along with Dawn and John Beachcroft, Ed and Kaye Dale, John Schmehl and Daren Oram met up with us at the lookout. Harry and Averill kindly brought along a fantastic spread for morning tea with plenty for everyone, almost filling the tray of the Chev. After a cuppa and a chat we spoke at length about the Bushranging era and the hardships endured by people on all sides of the law during this wild time in Australia’s past. Then John Newton read a moving poem about the shooting of Sgt McGinnerty on the road between Tumbarumba and Tooma. Around 11:00 we left for Rutherglen via Walbundrie and Howlong with Andrew leading the way in his trusty FJ sedan. Arriving at Rutherglen a little after 12:00, most adjourned to the Star Hotel for lunch. The bar was a bit busy so it took a while to get watered at first but the food was great with only Peter and Chris having to wait for their meals. That’ll teach them to order before everyone else. A few people had to leave us at Rutherglen but Herb, who had been busy earlier, joined us for the second half of the run. We headed to Bundalong South and the site of the original Peechelba homestead only to find the current owner, John Gorman at the gate. After meeting for the first time he kindly offered to show us around the homestead site, now sadly ruins in a paddock. It was good to see cars like John’s XY Falcon GT and Al’s Corvette cruise down the dirt track to the homestead site. An enthusiastic and well spoken man, John kept us entertained for over an hour with stories of Morgan, the property and Christina Macpherson – who as an infant was at Peechelba as one of Morgan’s captives, then years later whilst in outback Queensland, wrote the music to “Waltzing Matilda” for Banjo Patterson. John also showed us, among other things, the tree Morgan was propped against to die after being fatally shot. Leaving the property after an entertaining and educational tour, most of us headed through Peechelba Township to Wangaratta and its cemetery. After inspecting Morgan’s grave and even convincing Andrew that I’d found the bullet that killed Mad Dan, some of us had a look at a really sad part of the bushranging era.
A small Headstone in the old section of the cemetery marks the graves of Annie, John and Jane Jones, all children of the Glenrowan inn keeper Ann Jones. Annie died in 1876. John and Jane were both shot by police during the siege at the Glenrowan inn. John was mortally wounded but took almost 24 hours to die in great pain. Jane had what appeared a minor wound (they easily removed the bullet from just under the skin) but she never recovered and died 2 years later. After a long and interesting day we left for home around 5pm so Andrew didn’t need to rely too much on his 6 volt headlights. Ian Riordan.

John Gorman showed us around the homestead site, now sadly ruins in a paddock.
Herb wanted to go out to this tree and tie a club ribbon around it. This was the tree Morgan was propped against to die after being fatally shot.
We headed through Peechelba Township to Wangaratta and its cemetery. After inspecting Morgan’s grave we each went our own way home, tired but very happy with our day out with Ian Riordan and our Morgan Country Car Club Members.
