Statement of Significance

The last known shooting in the area of an aborigine was around 1905 when Moolyall was shot by aboriginal
tracker Johnny Wall at what Is now called Moolyall Rocks. Apparently Moolyall was being pursued for
stealing sheep and as the troopers closed in on him, he prepared to throw a spear. John Wall was the Corporal
at Ravensthorpe from 1901 to 1908.

Physical Description

Old maps show Moolyall Rocks as a water and camping place and there was a farm on the northern side of the
creek.
