However, it is quite possible that Billy Dargin’s pathway into the tracker force may have come about through relationships with other aboriginal’s tracker already performing work in the NSW police. Furthermore, the steady pay which Aboriginal trackers in the 1860's received was a daily rate of 2s 6d, not including possible reward payments for bushranger captures. At the time of Billy's entry into police employment, there were four other trackers stationed at Forbes. Those were Pilot, Jacky, Hastings and Charlie or Prince Charlie. However, Billy was a brilliant horseman with fine skills in finding the signs left by those pursued. Dargin no doubt travelled from his home territory of Windsor out to the Lachlan, or further out to the Bogan region
