Tramp recalls Rockey Flams homestead days and Molloy’s trek
An old Fort Douglas Road homestead near Rockey Flams on Kockey Creek is revisited in a reminiscence by Rev. Molloy. He recounts early travel with Jack Warner and Krio McCrae, Molloy’s rugged journeys across Queensland and the Dawson and Leichhardt River regions, and encounters with miners, bullock teams, and a murder tied to a remote settlement, weaving in Padd y Atotay’s stories and aging memories from the Gold Rush era.
