We mostly all survived. As kids, we understood our boundaries from a very young age. We were taught about snakes etc. And by 10 we knew how to shoot a rifle and drive a vehicle. The best years of my life and we had very little in the way of toys. Pegs were more fun.Hard to fathom how all these farm kids survive really , generation after generation
I have yet to see a photo of the gun being pointed at Ms Bray.
Returned from the house
The Mail is back - with a claim that Gus may not have been seen by outsiders since March when he went for an introduction day at the local school.

The link works for me. Maybe it's blocked in Australia?

It looks to me, using Google Maps satellite view, that there are fencelines around the homestead complex. That's not to say they don't have holes, or open gates, or aren't easily penetrable by a pedestrian. Oak Park Station · Grampus SA 5440, Australia
I could paste the relevant sections but unfortunately that would amount to rather more than 10% of the article.
BBM. I was a wandering child, and that's just not how I thought. I remember the last time I wandered and got lost. I might have been about Gus's age. I didn't like being lost at all and I was resolved not to do it again. I was just going to walk along the beach, in a straight line of sight from the family. And then when I got where I was going I decided I was just going to walk away from the water towards the vegetation that mounted to cliffs, not leaving the beach, just to see what was up that track. Not possible to get lost doing that, of course. Well then the track looked so interesting, I was just going to walk to where it turned a corner and see what was around the corner. I was still within sight of the beach, I knew where I was. And so on. Until the time when I turned back and turned around a few times and had no idea. So I kept walking on, crying, until I encountered some people who intercepted me and took me back to the beach and found my parents . . . who hadn't missed me yet. And that was really the last time, until I was competent to wander without getting lost.
The Daily Mail article claims that trial nursery day in March appears to be when the photo released of Gus was taken. And that as far as they can establish nobody outside of the immediate family has seen him since.
If this is true then that is very concerning.

Yes, he would, but the police seem satisfied that he was a good 100km away at the time Gus was reported to have gone missing.
"No sign of" is very neutral language and doesn't mean that there was no foul play.
There's still a lot of uncertainty about what actually happened at the homestead and on the station that day. In fact there seems to be so much contradiction that it feels as though we are being deliberately gaslit. Maybe that is the police's intention.
Perhaps, but people change their minds. Maybe when Gus first went missing it looked just like any other missing kid in the outback. Sometimes those kids are found safe and sometimes their remains are found some time later. But when there is no trace at all of a child reported missing after 6 weeks, maybe people start to wonder if something was more wrong than they thought and become more willing to talk to reporters. Maybe.
