OF ALL the trackers chasing bad guys
and rescuing missing persons in Australia’s outback, Teddy Jangala Egan
is considered the best. His greatness was obvious
to police during the height of his powers in the mid 1960s and he was
called upon as late as 2001 to track down the still-missing Peter
Falconio.
Tales of his outback prowess are legendary but one tale
stands out above them all — the day he not only tracked the untraceable
but the day he went above and beyond the call to do so. That story is
being told again today as his colleagues posthumously award him the
Valour Medal.http://www.news.com.au/national/teddy-egan-honoured-with-posthumous-medal-of-valour-50-years-after-tracking-down-billy-benn/story-fncynjr2-1227580442836?sv=e9d2c731dba995b12031c897e170add4
