On 5 Feb 1843 Cyrus's son Bartholomew wrote to Cyrus:
'Messrs Single & Williams' stockmen are now here, on their way to report that the blacks have killed six of their horses since my last, and driven all the cattle off the Mooney Creek. They went to our hut and killed Bolen's stock dog after he left. They have now grown so impudent that they sent word to Mr Eckford's station that they would kill their horses next. It is their intention to kill and driveall the whites with their cattle from the Mooney and Barwin.'s.'

Acting swiftly after Major (Sir) Thomas Mitchell reached that area in January of the same year.
