where the old road climbed a steep rise towards the rock outcrop in the middle of this place Gardiner's gang forced two dray drivers to block the road with their carts. As the gold escort coach slowed to make the grade it was then blocked by the drays and the gang opened fire with rifles and pistols. The coach overturned, its escort were either incapacitated by gunshots or fled into the bush. The ruffians then looted the gold and currency and fled the scene with over a million dollars worth of loot [in todays terms]
