Gone Bush (WA)
I've been trying to find that very lengthy Thread concerning James Annetts and Simon Amos, the 2
young blokes who perished in the north of WA some many years ago.
I've entered Annetts, and Loder (separately) into the search function and gone back 2 years but no result.
I would like to see the Thread again and get the details of one contributor who was researching the tragedy with the intention of writing an article or a book.
Surely the Thread must be in the Archives; or was it sufficiently contoversial to have been deleted?

I asked for my posts to be deleted. Only my posts, not others. I wasn't the first poster at all, but came in near the end.
Below is the request I sent to ExplorOZ:
"Could you remove all my posts from the following thread. The reason for this request is that my posts have been left hanging due to the thread being archived. Too early, in my opinion."
I asked that my posts be deleted because it was archived just after I'd said the main suspect in the deaths of the two boys might not be guilty. This opinion needed to be qualified with new information I'd discovered recently by spending four months out at Balgo, Billiluna, Wolf Creek Crater, Nicholson,
Flora Valley Station,
Halls Creek,
Broome, and other
places.
It is sad ExplorOZ killed the thread rather than let it continue. It's possible that someone complained about the thread. During my research I've been threatened and insulted both in person and on the phone. The Chairman of Balgo, George Lee, kicked me out of the community as
well, no reason given.
I found Simon's Valiant Charger and spent a few days in rooms used by James in the last fortnight of his life.
Currently, I am going through the thousands of pages of interview notes from the 45 people I spoke to at Balgo and other
places. The book is about 12-months off.
