Bowen
(Toura Bungaree) and his wife Maria, and daughters Jonza, Nan, Theda (Jane),
and son Mark, move to Pittwater, near Barrenjoey. Bowen has perhaps decided to
lead his clan away from the destruction and poverty of Sydney life back to a
semi traditional existence.

Bowen
may also have been disappointed in British justice. Bowen had requested the
Reverend Threlkeld to make representation to the NSW Attorney General for the
unsuccessful prosecution of two Aboriginal men, Murrell and Bummaree for the
murder of his brother-in-law Jabinguy and another man. His appeal to the
Attorney General was unsuccessful. Bowen returned to find his country much
altered with traditional coastal fishing grounds blocked off to them and
borders from farms and roads.

Bowen
and other members of his clan find work employed as black trackers and also
catch and trade fish with settlers. He works beside Customs Officer Howard and
is friends with local farmer John Farrell. He is described as a valuable asset
to the force. The Sydney Herald
reports that Bowen has given information that leads to the capture of three
bush rangers. “A black fellow named Bowen told Brophy that the other bushrangers
were on another island near Mooney Mooney Creek”.
