George James Stanley and his associates stole 50 head of cleanskin cattle off 'Moongool' Station in early 1916. The cattle were hidden on Jinkerbay holding on Wallumbilla Creek, amongst the prickly pear. Once bang-tailed and castrated they were taken to Harry Stanley's yards, branded and then returned to the safety of Jinkerbay.
