Bowen
and other members of his clan find work employed as black trackers and also
catch and trade fish with settlers. He works beside Customs Officer Howard and
is friends with local farmer John Farrell. He is described as a valuable asset
to the force. The Sydney Herald
reports that Bowen has given information that leads to the capture of three
bush rangers. “A black fellow named Bowen told Brophy that the other bushrangers
were on another island near Mooney Mooney Creek”.

Bowen
is a very effective black tracker in detecting illegal stills in the upper
reaches of McCarrs Creek, Church Point. He leads John Howard from the Customs
House at Barrenjoey, Pittwater, up the creek to where a man William Farr is
detained. Howard recognizes Bowen’s skills and recommends to the Collector of
Customs in Sydney that he should ”have a second boat which would cost about
four hundred pounds and enable him to get a living for himself and family
consisting of two daughters and a son. … as he will be liable to insult and
oppression for having aided me”. Later Howard writes “I am reluctant to employ
(Bowen) … without the protection of a constable as I have reason to believe
that violence would be used towards him.”
