Within the late 1800s there have been rumours that human bones, together with skulls, had been crammed into caves at London Bridge – probably a part of some native burial customized. Following the obvious discovery of the bones by an area policeman, Superintendent Brennan, in January 1874, Coroner Morton from Queanbeyan was referred to as to analyze. In his memoirs, Reminiscences of the Goldfields and Elsewhere in New South Wales Overlaying a Interval of Forty-Eight Years of Service as an Officer of Police (Sydney: Brooks, 1907), Brennan stories that Morton “pronounced them to be skeletons of Aborigines of former occasions”. Regrettably, precisely what occurred to the bones has been misplaced within the sands of time.
