The following document refers to the coaling of Bullarra for her return voyage to Fremantle. The date is 3rd April, 1912, and due to the significance of wreckage discoveries the search was to be called off. There was no further hope of finding Koombana adrift or aground.
What is particularly interesting to note is that there were no plans for Bullarra to return to the site of the 'oil patch' and drag the vicinity with a 'wire' to snag and confirm the position of the wreck.

Koombana was gone and a mystery 'created'.
