When Messrs Randall and O'Connell were catching rhino in this area in March, 1961, for transportation into the Murchison National Park, they encountered more than forty skeletons of animals which had been killed within a twelve month or so. In the same year Mr. Peter Hay (1962) came across, in the area between the Koich and Nyawa Rivers, no less than five skeletons in the grass during the course of a walk of less than one hour. Such findings are some indication of the persistent and illegal slaughter which has taken place.
