Situated about midway between Maitland and Singleton (not to be too precise as to locality), on the Main Northern Road, Bamboo Gully opens its gloomy mouth to the traveller's view - black and dismal blotch on the surrounding land, and a spot that is shunned even in the broad light of day by those who know, from local tradition, the horrors that haunt its gloomy shades. Back on Christmas Eve in the year 1846, a group of three men is gathered round a vehicle which lies on its side in a ditch in which a catastrophe has just occurred. They are destined to stay the night until they can repair the trap the next morning.
