INFORMATION

on Early Western NSW and some of Central NSW

Snippets of information from the Government Gazettes and newspapers that might help people find

out something about their ancestors. This is in no way meant to represent the full development of the

area but simply what material I happened to come across that I thought might be of interest.

A large part of my research was originally carried out for presentation on the AUS-NSW-West

Rootsweb List which is centred on the towns of Broken Hill, Wentworth, Balranald, Hay, Nyngan,

Cobar, Bourke and Walgett; and for the AUS-NSW-CENTRAL Rootsweb List which is centred on

Dubbo, Forbes, Wagga Wagga, Cowra, Albury, Deniliquin and Griffith. Major towns in Central NSW

such as Bathurst and Orange have been omitted since they have their own separate Rootsweb List

sites. At times I stray further afield, such as to Gundagai, because of personal interest.

1839 - 1885 The Climate of the Darling and Early Settlement.

Maitland Mercury & Hunter River General Advertiser, Thursday 31 Dec 1885.

The following letter from the Government Astronomer appears in the Herald of Tuesday;-

Sir, - My request for information about the history of the River Darling has brought me several

valuable letters, one of which goes back to 1839.

Mr. Basil Dickinson says, under date 18th November:-

"I first visited the Darling in 1839, and took up a station called Yambecoona, 20 miles below

Brewarrina, then called the Fisheries. This was the lowest station on the river for many years after

that.

When we got there the country was suffering from a long drought, and it was with difficulty that we

could get water for the cattle on the road from the Liverpool Plains to the Darling. That river was then

a chain of waterholes from Walgett to Yambecoona, and it did not run until 1841.

In 1846, again, the river got very low, and could easily be crossed on horseback in many places.

Again, in 1849, '50, and '51 we had a terrible drought on the Darling; no grass, no saltbush, and the

river so low that the cattle used to get bogged in it. In 1852 there was an abundance of rain on the

Darling, and the river continued running a good stream up to 1855, when I left the district. By that time

many other stations had been taken up below ours."

Mr. E. M. McKinley, under date November 19, says:-

"On Black Thursday, February 6, 1851, I left Melbourne on a journey to the Darling, and travelled

nearly as far as Wilcannia. After forming the station we had to camp with our horses in the bed of

the river, as there was not a bite of grass to be had away from it. The bed of the river was then, and had

been for months, quite dry, with the exception of small waterholes at considerable distance from each

other, and around these grew a little green herbage, which kept life in our poor horses. At this time the

squatters had not long been in occupation, but, to my surprise, they did not seem uneasy about the

condition of the country. At a station about 150 miles from Wentworth, on the S.E. bank of the river, I


saw a spring of cool, clear water running out of a small hollow sapling that had been inserted into the

bank."

Mr. D. F. Mackay, under date November 21, says:-

"In June, 1865, I travelled down the Darling from Brewarrina to within 50 miles of the junction of

the Darling and the Murray. The country was a perfect desert, and we had to feed the cattle in the

bed of the river, for there was not a vestige of grass on the plains. The bed of the river was dry for

miles in many places - simply a chain of waterholes, some of which were quite salt, especially near

Bourke."

Mr. J. S. McIntosh, under date December 12, says:-

"The Darling was low at Wentworth in 1861, but got very low in 1862, and the two steamers Lady

Daly and Settler, in trying to get up the river in October, stuck thirty miles above Wentworth, and had

to discharge their cargoes; and from that time till February 1863, the river kept getting lower, until it

became perfectly dry, and was a chain of waterholes from Bourke to near Wentworth.

In March, 1863, a flood came down, caused by rains in Queensland, and from that time to July, 1864,

the river nearly always was a banker. Our last rain that year was in April, and from that until January,

1866, there was not more than half an inch of rainfall on any part of the Darling from Bourke to

Wentworth. The river fell rapidly after July, 1864, and all the winter of 1865 was extremely low, and

all the creeks were dry. The cold was very severe - white frosts all the winter - and the fish in the river

died, killed, it was supposed, by the cold. In November 1865 the river was so low at "Dunlop", eighty

miles below Bourke, that I could jump over it.

In January 1866 there was very heavy local rain, but it did not affect the river much; the rain lasted two

days, and from that time we had no rain at Bourke until June 21, 22, and 23, when we had a very heavy

fall; but again it did not affect the river much, and by September it was very low, and kept so until

February, 1867, when a flood came down from the Queensland rains and on top of that came our own

local rains and the floods in the Macquarie.

After that the river fell again, and in 1868 was very low; so low that a boat could not cross the river

bars below Bourke, and at Dunlop there was a bar showing through the water, and I often crossed over

there, stepping from stone to stone, in May of that year; we had no rain except a few showers, and the

river got lower and lower; all the tributaries in this colony and in Queensland were dry, and it was said

that salt was collected on the bottom of of one of the dried holes in the "Cuttaburra," a tributary of the

Warrego, which has not been done since; and what they call drought now, I call overstocking. In

January 1869, a few showers fell, and in March and April we had fine rains about Bourke, a splendid

winter, and the river a "banker." In February 1870 the great wet season began."

Mr. J. F. Haydon, under date November 21, says:-

" The river immediately above this town (Wilcannia) has stopped running in several places, and is

lower than it had been since the middle of 1876. As, however, a flood cannot reach here for almost two

months if rain were to fall now in New England, it is the general opinion that the water will be lower in

the Middle Darling than it has ever been seen, and unless heavy rains fall at its source not later than

February, there is a prospect of the water supply being insufficient for the stock on the frontages. "In

1876, at a point 18 miles above this, the bed of the river was perfectly dry for a quarter of a mile, and


in other places the water had ceased running. It is almost in the same state now, and must be worse

before a flood can come."

From the foregoing notes, and those in my letter of November 14,

it appears that the Darling was:-

in 1829, salt and dry in places;

in 1835, too low for boats to navigate;

in 1839, a chain of waterholes, and did not run until1841;

1845, ceased to flow at Wilcannia;

1849, 1850, 1851, quite dry in places;

1852 to 1855, running a good stream;

1862, perfectly dry in places;

1863, floods began in March,

and in January 1864 the highest flood on record, water two feet to three feet over the main street at

Bourke for some seven weeks;

1865, a chain of waterholes from Walgett to Wentworth;

1866, quite dry in places, although there was in the Middle Darling in January that year a very heavy

storm of storm rain;

1867, very heavy flood in February;

1868, could step from stone to stone over the river in places;

1869, a wet period began;

1876, it was a chain of waterholes;

1879, very heavy flood began in February; ;

1881, usual February flood absent, river below summer nearly all the year;

1882, very sudden flood from rainstorm in February;

1884, river very low;

1885, October 27, stopped running at Bourke, and now a chain of waterholes from Walgett to

Pooncarie.

Those of your readers interested in the 19 years period may find some interesting facts in the foregoing

figures. The condition in 1862 reappears in 1881, 1863, in 1882, 1865, and in 1884. The great

rainstorm at Wilcannia in 1886 has its counterpart in the same district and month in 1885, and so on;

and I am waiting to see whether the great flood of 1867 is to be reproduced in 1886; if it is, it will be in

accordance with the result of experience, as I pointed out in 1876.

Oct 1841 Darling River Aborigines kill four Men.

Bathurst - The Blacks. - Information has reached us of a horrid outrage committed by the blacks of the

Darling River, upon some men in the employment of Messrs. Lee and Moulder, settlers, who, in

consequence of the drought, had removed their cattle from their stations, to the interior, having erected

stock-yards on the banks of the Darling, and held for three weeks the most friendly intercourse

with the natives, they were suddenly attacked by a party of sixty blacks, armed with spears,

boomerangs, and nulla nullas - the result of which fiendish conduct, was the death of four of the men,

besides others, badly wounded - the enormities they committed on the dead, are such, as to be

unfit for publication. As several parties have left our district for the same quarter, the greatest fears

are entertained for their safety. On receipt of the above intelligence, a strong police force was sent to

the Darling.

1847 Jamieson and the Natives on the Murray 60 miles from Town.

The Murray.

A gentleman who arrived in town yesterday states that, all along the Murray, the country is in excellent

condition, the feed good, and refreshing rain at intervals. - A few days ago a Mr. Jamieson, settler,

residing sixty miles from the town, had five lambs killed by native dogs; and to such a degree of

subordination has he reduced the neighbouring tribe of aborigines, that he immediately convened

them, and ordered them to bring an equal number of native dogs, to be sacrificed in the manes of the

sheep - a stipulation which was literally complied with.

Port Phillip Herald.

Bell's Life in Sydney, 13 Nov 1847.

My comment: Unfortunately the town is not named. Nor is the Christian name of Mr. Jamieson given.

Apr 1848 Overland Journey of Mr. John Keighran from Sydney to Adelaide.

Communicated by himself.

I started from Sydney on the 10th of April, 1848, with 118 head of horses. and arrived at Adelaide

on the 11th August following with 112 head, having sold some on the road.


At the commencement of my journey the country was badly stocked with grass, and so continued until

I came to Mr. Peters' station on the Murrumbidgee, where I remained for a week to feed my horses.

I then proceeded on to Mr. Peters' lower station, and there also I found plenty of grass; had I not found

grass there my horses might have starved to death. I found all the people very kind to me and my

party both black and white. I stopped there twelve days and the horses thrived.

I then proceeded until I came to Mr. Darcey's station on the Murrumbidgee, where, also, I found

plenty of grass, and remained twelve days. Mr. Darcey behaved very kind to me and my party.

I then continued on my journey until I came to the station of - Hobler, Esq., J.P. [as written]. I

continued along the gentleman's pasturage run for two days, which is situate contiguous to the

junction of the Murrumbidgee and the Lachlan.

I was informed the natives were very troublesome, but I found them quite the reverse, and willing to

do anything I required of them. They made signs to me that they would show me a shorter road

than the one I was travelling; and two of them accompanied me two days, for the purpose of showing

me the route they spoke of. This they did in their own way, which I perfectly understood, and we met

large parties of natives of their acquaintance on the river. I found them all very civil and obliging.

When my guides got to the extent of their own boundary, they spoke to the adjoining tribe, and they

then proceeded with us to the end of the route intended. There are many different routes, on account of

the floods rising on the flats, and a knowledge of these induced the natives to show us the shortest cut.

If the flood is on the flats, the stock has to go through the malley (sic) scrub, which is a great way

round. The Malley is a very thick, close scrub, so called by the natives.

In proceeding along the Lachlan we saw a prodigious quantity of grasshoppers, averaging about an

inch and a half in length. They covered a space of about a quarter of a mile at a time, and rising all at

once came towards us on the wing with great force, almost blinding the horses. Alighting suddenly in a

dense mass, they destroyed every blade of grass within their range, and then started on a fresh spot.

They are like birds of passage, and I believe these grasshoppers are the annual destroyer of grass

in the district. At all events, I do not think such destruction is attributable to the heat, as represented.

On our arrival at the Darling River we found the malley very thick, as also very large plains of salt

bush, and no grass for some miles; but we afterwards came to good flats to camp on, on the banks of

the river. We found the settlers and squatters very kind, as also the natives; and continued our route

until we fell in with Mr. Donald McLeod. Previous to seeing me, he was informed by a Mr.

Fletcher that I was on the road behind him. He then immediately forwarded a letter to me by one

of the natives. At the arrival of this messenger I was much amused. I saw him coming towards me,

carrying a letter in the end of a stick that had a split for the purpose of keeping the letter clean. He was

shouting at the top of his voice, "Where massa? Where massa?" My bullock drays being ahead of my

horses, my party, and myself, one of the bullock-drivers endeavoured to get the letter from him, but he

refused to give him the letter, saying, "You no massa - you belong wheel-barrow" (meaning it was his

business to mind the dray); and he went on asking, "Where's massa?" till he put the letter into my

hand. The letter cautioned me to be careful, as the banks of the river were very boggy.


We then proceeded to look for a good crossing place to put over Mr. D. McLeod's cattle (being 800 in

number) and my own horses; and after a long search for a good bottom, found a suitable place. The

cattle finding firm footing, and being very dry, they pushed each other in, and all got over safe. The

natives then began to gather very thick, and asked us if we wanted their mungoes (meaning their

canoes). I could understand one of them very well, he spoke such good English; the other natives

called him Moses. He told me he understood how to get the drays over with a bucket; but I

understood afterwards that anything in the coopers' line they called a bucket. What he meant to apply

was a porter hogshead which I had upon the dray, and the method of using it he adopted, was to lash

the hogshead firmly to the top of the axle free of the dray. I was quite at a loss to imagine how they

came to the knowledge of such an invention, which was the safest method I ever saw adopted.

They then asked me what I would give them to convey my property to the opposite bank. I soon

struck a bargain with them, and gave them a portion of flour, beef, tea, sugar, and three fishing

hooks each. I also allowed them the use of our cooking vessels; the number of natives so employed

and remunerated by me, being twenty-five. No white men could have laboured more willingly or have

done more than they did, so that they well earned what I gave them. They kept continually swimming

backwards and forwards, rendering all the assistance they could; and best of all, there was nothing

missing when we started the next morning; and all, except two, went away seemingly well pleased and

satisfied with what I gave them. The two who remained were apparently chiefs, and they

accompanied us as far as Mr. Bagot's station, and there made arrangements with their

neighbouring tribes to see us safe to Lake Victoria, where I parted with Mr. McLeod.

The following morning, on continuing our route, we had a deal of trouble with the horses, in

consequence of their taking fright at a number of pelicans and swans. There is an abundance of wild

fowl on the lake, more than I ever saw together. I was soon overtaken by Mr. Fisher, and being

informed by him, that it was his second trip overland, I thought it would be advisable to let him go

ahead. Our drays travelled together, and we kept company with each other for some days. At length we

parted, Mr. Fisher and his party with his stud of horses going on.

I then came to Murrunda, the residence of a Mr. Williams, and from that gentleman received the

greatest kindness. We then proceeded through the scrub to "the accommodation yards," and remained

there two days; and thence proceeded to Mr. Bagott's. I was kindly received there, and thence

continued to progress until the close of my long journey at Gawler Town. There I was met by a Mr.

R - [as written], who kindly offered me the use of his stock-yards, which I thought was very kind for a

stranger to do. I continued, however where I was all day until near night, when I desired my son to say

to Mr. R - I would thankfully accept his offer; but to my son's surprise, Mr. R - turned sharply round,

and told him that they should not go into his yards (and making what is termed a great man of

himself); he told my son his father must go to the public-house yards. It was so dark that it was almost

impossible to get there, but I succeeded in arriving. Unfortunately, however, in endeavouring to put

my stock into Mr. Carlton's yard, one of the best horses I had in the stud was staked, and died in

consequence, and I hope if ever that pretender to hospitality visits my side of Australia I shall not be

tempted to pay him off in his own coin. The sons were very much displeased with the conduct of their

father towards me. I received every sort of good treatment from Mr. Carlton, and he kindly gave

me every information as regards the markets at Adelaide. I found it most convenient to move on to

Little Para where Mr. Broadstock kindly permitted me to remain until the whole of my horses were

disposed of.


On arriving at Adelaide, I took up my headquarters at Mr. Thomas Ottoways's "Victoria Inn,"

Hindley-street, where I found the best entertainment, and where I would recommend all visitors on an

overland expedition to take up their quarters. Being a stranger in town Mr. Ottoway recommended me

to Messrs. Emmett & Glyde, Auctioneers, to dispose of my horses; and I have much pleasure in

recommending to them any others who may bring stock of any description to this colony, as I feel well

assured they will have no reason to complain.

For the kind treatment I received from the inhabitants of Adelaide, and very place I came through, on

my way, I am at a loss to know how to return thanks, but it will ever be my study to endeavour to

promote the interest and welfare of South Australia, of Adelaide, its metropolis, and the inhabitants

generally. But I wish to return my most especial and hearty thanks, to the settlers of the surrounding

districts, for allowing me to feed my horses over their private lands, without interruption, and should I

never visit Adelaide again, if any South Australians happen to give me a call at my own home, they

shall have a hearty welcome. I am, however so taken up with Adelaide, that, please God, if I live to see

another year, I shall be very likely to re-visit it. In the meantime it has my best wishes for its continued

prosperity.

JOHN KEIGHRAN.

N.B. There are two parties coming after me with their wives and children, and a large quantity of

horses and cattle. They are Thomas Shanghnessy, and Patrick Grace, but I hear that somewhere on

the Darling their cattle broke away, and that Patrick Grace, in the act of riding after them, was thrown

from his horse, and dislocated his neck. These parties may be expected hourly in town, indeed I am

told they are already somewhere in the neighbourhood of Gawler Town.

My Comments on Lower Darling Runs mentioned above.

The John McKinlay, mentioned above, had come up the Darling in 1849 with Alexander McCallum

and Edmond Morey. Maxine Withers, in Bushmen of the Great Anabranch, reports that Morey took

up Tintinallogy that stretched to Terawynia Lake, and McCallum took up Menindee.

McKinlay took up Weinteriga, further to the north and on the west side of the Darling. He stocked his

run but was forced to abandon it in 1852 because of the aborigines. He took up the East Rufus and

West Rufus Runs of Lake Victoria [tucked down towards the far SW corner of the state]; then a string

of runs from Menindee to Weinteriga; plus adding to his Lake Victoria holding the runs of Tara,

Yantarella, the Scrub Run Blocks 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10, and Yarlalla and Westbrook on the

Anabranch. He did not pay his rent in 1857, but the next year he applied for Pelwalka and Wanna

Wanna. He had given up all his Lake Victoria runs by 1861 when he accepted leadership of the

expedition starting off at the Gulf of Carpentaria to search for the lost explorers Burke and Wills.

In regard to Nos.17 & 18 "Pooncaree" and "Tarcoola", Lans, Smith and Smith, in The History of

Pooncarie and District, suggest that William Campbell was already at Pooncaree when MacCabe did

his 1848 survey of the area, Campbell being regarded as the first owner of both "Pooncaree" and


"Tarcoola" runs which were sometimes referred to on the early maps as "McPherson's" and

"Campbell". Nicholson was the first official owner, there being no note made of previous owners as

was done in "Mallee Cliffs". In 1852 the leases were sold to John Leckie Phelps and Nicholas

Chadwick, an honorary magistrate in the Balranald area. When the partnership was dissolved in 1857,

Phelps took over both properties along with Pooncarie Back Plains that had been acquired in 1855.

1852 E. B. Scott, Sub-Protector of Aborigines, general favourite of natives, leaves Moorundee.

Mr. E. B. Scott, the Sub-Protector of Aborigines at Moorundee, has resigned office with the intention

of proceeding to Melbourne; the papers announce that the tribes on the Murray, and even on the Rufus

[Murray / Lake Victoria area near the SA border] and the Darling, will hold a grand "Corrobboree"

when they hear of Mr. Scott's departure, for "Merrilee" was a general favourite with all the natives of

the river, and the perfect freedom from outrage which has characterised the upper overland route for

the last few years is the best proof of the unlimited influence which Mr. Scott has acquired over them.

Sep 1850 Difficulties with Natives in the Laidley Ponds [Later Perry/Menindie/Menindee] area. Call for a Native Police Force.

Darling River.

I have no doubt that many of our readers will be glad to learn that Mr. Walker, the commandant of

the Native Police, and his gallant band, were at Laidley Ponds, Darling River, on the 15th July, all

well.


The natives have been very troublesome, and some parties have been obliged to abandon their stations;

attempts had been made to burn one station, and one man had been nearly bled to death, by the blacks

having made a puncture with a sharp stick in the jugular vein, and then sucked his blood, and left him

for dead. The man was a shepherd, and his sheep having returned home to the station, alarm was taken

at the man's non-appearance, and search was made, but in the mean time he had so far recovered as to

be able to crawl towards home, but in a very weakened state.

Many other aggressions had been committed on shepherds, such as assaults, and many sheep

destroyed, one man having lost four or five hundred, and many others a lesser number. Mr. Walker had

succeeded in capturing some of the most daring ringleaders, and taken them to head quarters, at

Callandoon, on the Macintyre.

A petition has been got up by the settlers on the Lower Murray and Darling Rivers, for the

establishment of a Native Police force on those rivers, and under the able management of the

present commandant, F. Walker, Esq., I consider it is the only force of any service, both in

suppressing the lawlessness of the whites and blacks.

The whole country was in a most deplorable condition from want of rain; the country itself is the most

wretched I ever travelled over; the Darling is a mere chain of dirty, shallow water-holes, and at best of

seasons I should say not worthy the name of a river.

1853 Appointment of a crossing place of the Darling River, near its confluence with the Murray and near Mourquong. Sydney Morning Herald, 21 Apr 1853.

The River Darling.

It has become necessary to appoint a place at the crossing of the River Darling, near its confluence

with the Murray, where a road from Sydney to Adelaide meets the River Darling, from nine chains

above the Junction Inn, His Excellency the Governor General, by acclamation in Tuesday's

Government Gazette, has appointed the said crossing of the River Darling to be a place at which a

ferry shall be established, and at which tolls shall be collected, to the amount and under the

regulations, restrictions, and provisions of the Act 2 Vict., of which ferry all persons concerned are

required to take notice.

My comment: For location of Mourquong see previous mention on this page.

Nine chains above the Junction Inn would be roughly about 200 yards.

Jul 1854 Paika, and adjacent stations, junction of the Murrumbidgee and Lachlan Rivers, for Sale.

Friday, 1st September.

New South Wales.

Paika and Adjacent Stations.

Unquestionably the most Valuable Fattening Stations in the Southern Hemisphere,

And from which

A Larger Yearly Return may be derived than from any other Pastoral Property in the World,


And with which will be sold 6,500 Cattle.

To give an idea of the value of these Runs, it may be mentioned that they will Fatten 8000 Head of

Cattle a-year, and a larger number of Sheep; and that the former are saleable, delivered at the yards

upon the Runs, at from £13 to £15 per head, and the latter at 20s. to 25s. per head.

Terms, equal to cash.

Mort and Co. have received instructions to sell to the highest bidder, at their rooms, Sydney, on Friday,

1st September,

The very valuable cattle property, of which the following are the brief but faithful particulars -

Kooncombera

Yarrowal

Juanbung

Paika

Yarrowal, back run

Juanbung, back run

Collectively known as Paika and situate in the Lower Darling District, commencing at the

junction of the Lachlan, and extending down the River Murrumbidgee 32 miles, and back about

25 miles, and well known as lately the property of W. C. Wentworth, Esq.

This magnificent station, solely adapted for pastoral purposes, and held under the longest term of lease,

is watered by 5 miles of the Lachlan, 32 miles of the Murrumbidgee, and by Lakes Paika and

Petarpungee, the former lake being four miles in circumference, and the latter about 20 miles, and

situated in the back run. The river frontage consists of most extensive flats and reed beds, which being

periodically flooded, during the spring and early part of summer, afford the most luxuriant pasturage,

when nearly the whole of the other parts of the country are burnt up by the midsummer drought. The

back run consists almost entirely of vast open plains (with small belts of timbered land) covered with

abundance of grass, rich herbage, and salsolaceous plants. The whole station is well capable of feeding

in all seasons of at least 8000 head of cattle, being estimated by the neighbours at 12,000 head in

ordinary seasons. The fattening qualities of this run are undoubted, either for cattle or sheep; indeed

during the last year there have been upward of 25,000 sheep, on a small portion only of the back

country, which have been mostly fattened in flocks of 4800 to 5000, and sent to market.

The station is distant respectively:-

From Melbourne, 280 miles,

From the Diggings, 150 miles,

From Adelaide, 400 miles,

From Sydney, 570 miles,

And

From the Principal Depot of the Murray River Steamers, 30 miles.


Purchasers of fat stock for the Melbourne and Diggings markets gladly go to the Lower Murrumbidgee

Stations to obtain cattle and sheep, which have been selling freely for from £13 to £15 for the former,

and from 23s. to 25s. for the latter, delivered at the yards.

The improvements consist of a superintendant's establishment on Lake Paika, hut and large stock yard

near the junction of the Lachlan, and other substantial huts on various parts of the station; also a fair

woolshed, useful in case the future owner, - as is now practised by the present proprietor, - should wish

to occupy the extremity of the back run with store wethers - to fatten many thousands of which there is

ample room during the winter, spring, and early part of the summer, without interfering with the cattle.

The cattle consists of a mixed herd of 6500 head, of about equal proportions of sexes, few of which

will be under twelve months of age, and by far the greater part two years upwards. All under six

months will be given in. These cattle were purchased solely for fattening, as the forcing qualities of the

herbage is too valuable to be wasted on breeding stock.

Stock horses, teams, stores, &c., if required, to be taken at a valuation.

It is no idle figure of speech to say that a yearly fortune may be derived from the active working of this

truly magnificent property; Indeed it is a matter of question whether anything in these colonies will

return, upon the same outlay, a corresponding amount of profit. But the capabilities and value of these

splendid runs are so well known to every Port Phillip and Southern country man, that remark is

uncalled for; and all that the Auctioneers wish to do, is to attract the attention of capitalists and others

to the sale, and to assure them that it will be

Without Reserve.

N.B. - Communications addressed to Messrs. Mort and Co.; or to the Proprietor, A. Morris, Esq.,

Australian Club, Sydney, will be promptly attended to, and all enquiries answered, and particulars

furnished.

1857 Expedition to the Lower Murray, Under the Conduct of M. Blandowski. (From the Age, October 6)

- Diary of Mr. Surveyor White, despatched by the Government to investigate the Lower Murray.

29th Oct 1849


Again encamped at Messrs. Baird and Hodghinson's, having been so fortunate as to obtain a small

supply of water by digging in the sand, thus having been eleven days without water, succeeded in

saving the bullocks, with the exception of four that died, and in bringing them, the drays and the

remainder of the equipment out of the scrub.

6th Nov

Left party to ride through the scrub to the Murray, in the direction that the South Australian boundary

will take, taking two horses, intending to return by the same way.

12th Nov

After leaving the camp one of the horses was unable to proceed not having had water for four days;

compelled to leave him. Led on the other horse some distance when he gave in, and lay down. Took the

saddle, &c., off him, and lay down beside him, being scarcely able to stand. The day intolerably hot.

Bled the horse, and drank about half a pint of his blood, which was black, thick, and unhealthy-looking

and had the same smell as my breath. Got up, and staggered at extreme difficulty, and reached the

river in a extreme state of exhaustion in the afternoon.

- At the close of 1856, M. Blandowski was entrusted with the conduct of a second expedition to

the same locality.

Unappalled by the difficulties he boldly undertook the task, and started from Melbourne on 6th

December. ... Selected two who accompanied him from the beginning to the end of his journey. Mr.

G. Krefft, and an old and trusty servant named James Manson.

On 27th December, the party arrived at Kew's Swamp, between the Murray River and Mount Hope,

about 170 miles N. by W. from Melbourne, and on the third of the ensuing March started towards Lake

Boga and the junction of the Murrumbidgee and Murray about 130 miles further in the same direction.

Here M. Blandowaski pushed forward alone to the junction of the Darling and Murray, and was

rejoined by his party on the 3rd of the ensuing month in a deplorable condition. This being their

head-quarters, a permanent encampment was formed at a place called by the natives Mondellimin,

about 400 miles from Melbourne, and opposite the junction of the rivers.

From this spot M. Blandowski started, unattended, for the purpose of examining the banks of the

Murray, in a westerly direction to Moorundee, and rejoined his party at Mondellimin, having

been absent for three weeks and performed a tiresome journey on horseback, of 600 miles, and

crossing the river several times at places where it had a width of from five to six hundred feet. From

this place he again went forth on a more extended excursion, on 27th May, in a north-easterly

direction up the Darling towards Mount Murchison, a distance of 300 miles, and returned after an

absence of twenty-four days, having been obliged to swim the Murray twice, the Darling seven times,

besides several small streams. The distance traversed by him during that period was 700 miles.

On 6th August he left the camp in charge of Krefft and Manson, and proceeded towards Melbourne

with his valuable collection of specimens of natural history which he had been accumulating in his tent

during his sojourn at Mondellimin, to the extent of 28 boxes and parcels, containing in all about 16,000

specimens. His course was taken down the Murray in the steamer Albert to Adelaide, and thence to

Melbourne, having traversed a distance of about 1300 miles.


Having thus given a sketch of the motions of this enterprising naturalist in the pursuit of his favourite

study, we propose to lay before our readers his chief discoveries during the eight months. In these he

modestly attributes the chief merit to the aborigines, who procured the majority of the specimens,

and to his assistants, who acted as his taxidermists.

[For the full account of the country he travelled through and the animals he saw - see the newspaper

article on the Trove website.]

- Blandowski's impression of the Natives of the Loddon, the Murrumbidgee / Murray, and the

Darling regions.

... Blandowski next touches on the aborigines, about whom he has collected many interesting

particulars, but has not yet had time to put his memoranda into form.

He describes the Loddon tribe, or Gunboars, to be an athletic race, and though very wild, and

disposed to resist the efforts of the settlers to bring them within the pale of civilization, are yet fast

falling victims to imported vices. Nearly all of them are possessed of firearms. They live principally on

jypha or calamiter roots, which they bake.

In January they collect in large numbers to enjoy the fishing season on the Murray, and are very expert

in the capture of its finny inhabitants. Sham fights are their principal amusement, but in February they

engage with the neighbouring tribes in actual warfare, and have many severe engagements. Their

burial grounds are of an extended oblong, like their shields, and are arranged in groups covering from

one hundred to one hundred and twenty yards of ground. At Swan Hill, Mr. Blandowski describes

having seen a native of gigantic proportions.

The fisher tribes in the neighbourhood of the Murrumbidgee and Murray are distinguished by great

scars or gashes on their backs, which are inflicted upon themselves by burning sticks. This ceremony

they perform on losing a relative. Near the junction of the Darling the women make large gashes in

their thighs, breasts and arms, and the men inflict severe wounds on their head with tomahawks.

The graves are huts covered with the manur hets of the dead in which the currincles have to sleep at

nights. The female relatives enter the tombs every morning before daybreak, to give expression to their

grief. On the Darling they pile upon the top of the grave a large heap of wood, light a fire in front, and

cry bitterly. On leaving, the widow plants a green bough on the grave.

At Goolwa, M. Blandowski describes having seen a native smoked and roasted after death on a

scaffold. The ceremony was accompanied with many fantastic ceremonies.

M. Blandowski concludes his interesting relation by lamenting the rapid extermination of the tribes

occupying the Lower Murray. Even now he states that the region is all but depopulated, and that a

quietude now reigns there which is saddening to the traveller, who a few years ago found them fully

populated.

1858 Darling River and the Junction [later to be Wentworth]

South Australian Register, September 1858.

From a Correspondent, Sep 17, 1858.

The river here still continues to rise steadily, but the Darling is not yet

adding its waters to the Murray. Yesterday it rained heavily at this place

for several hours, and glad were we to see the country a little moist again.

We are to have our runs assessed at the rate of £48 per block (a block of

land is estimated to support 4,000 sheep), in addition to the already

fearful rents we are paying in consequence of the Albert District being

considered superior to other places. The idea of a fourth-rate salt bush

country being placed in the first class is so ridiculous the proposition

speaks for itself. Sydney citizens legislating for a district 900 miles from

them, remind us of the old war-cry of "No Downing Street rule of New South

Wales". Taking up the view of the case as the good people of Sydney and its

environs did, we maintain that it is impossible to legislate with justice

for a district of any country without a local knowledge of that particular

place.

The section of land at the Junction, which was reserved for a township years

ago, still remains unsurveyed, and reports says that it is likely to remain

undisturbed by the land-measurer for many a long year.

It is to be deplored for various reasons that our district is not a portion

of South Australia. We are, and have been, neglected by the Sydney

Government. For instance, we have no Court-House, police-barracks, pound,

punt, or any other public property, at this place; whereas if we had been

under the wing of the South Australian Parliament, all our wants would have

been attended to long ago.

We hear that a new district called the Warrego is to be proclaimed almost

immediately. This district will comprise the Victoria, Cooper's Creek, and

other portions of country discovered by Sturt and Gregory.

to work as labourers, farm servants, or shepherds. Some of the undernamed

are mechanics; but we have inserted their names only on the representation

that they accept work, in town or country, as labourers. We cannot insert

names on any other condition. Employers must communicate with the applicants

at their own addresses; we cannot take charge of letters.

_________________________________

Aug 1858 Charles A. G. Forster crossing from Lake Walgiers on the Lachlan to Merindi Creek on the Darling.


Clunes, Victoria.

To the Editor of the Herald.

Sir - I thought that some of my friends would have contradicted a mis-statement in your issue of the

21st August, under the heading of the Lower Murrumbidgee, to the effect that a Mr. Haverfield with

a black and a white man had crossed from Merindi Creek on the Darling to Lake Walgiers on

the Lachlan, and that "no one had ever crossed there before." She, or he, states that the distance is

140 miles, and that they were twenty days out.

In these days of exploring I do not choose to let your correspondent make an erroneous statement of a

fact that he ought to be aware of and remember, if he had been two years on the river. Digressing a

little, one Murrumbidgee correspondent succeeded in frightening the women of my family, and would

have alarmed the men also if he had not stated that I was a bad bushman, and never likely to be seen or

heard of again. They thought otherwise. On the 3rd August 1858, I left Mr. James Morris' sheep

camp on Mr. Phelp's station, twenty miles south of Lake Walgiers, and travelled alone, except the

companionship of a dog, on foot, through Mr. Flood's Cold Water Station; and on the ninth day I

made the Darling at a billabong on Messrs. Reed's (sic) station, ten or twelve miles above Messrs.

Piles' Cut-through Station, and not far from Merindi Creek, say thirty miles south.

I travelled by compass and chart, and considered the distance 180 or 190 miles. Forty or fifty miles out

from the Lachlan there is open grazing country. I then entered oak scrub, and travelled through that

and the maller (sic) for two days, when I sighted a mountain, I believe known as Tappalin, bearing

twenty miles or more northerly.

The next day I skirted the south end of an immense salt bush plain, known to extend northward a long

distance, and suitable for grazing, if water existed or could be procured. From this I passed through

nothing but oak and Maller scrub until I came upon the tracks of Mr. McLeod's cattle, perhaps fifty or

sixty miles out from the Darling. I was three days without water, and when rain providentially fell I

caught a supply in a guttapercha coat. My hunger and thirst were alleviated by sucking emus' eggs, of

which I found a nest the second day. There would be no difficulty in performing this journey if

travellers carried fowling-pieces, or had dogs able to catch paddymelons; also carrying say a gallon of

water. Maller pheasants, and other kinds are plentiful in the scrub.

I saw some traces of blacks and small heaps of maller roots that they had dug up to procure water

from. It may not be generally known that a good track exists further north from river to river, with

water at intervals all the way across. It was first opened, and has since been often traversed by Mr.

Donald McRae, Messrs. Smith, and their stockmen; Mr. Murray, of Bathurst, now resident on the

Darling, went across south of my track on horseback, with a black boy, some years ago.

I am, Sir, yours obliged,

Charles A. G. Forster.

___________________________

Dec 1858 Lang's Crossing Place, Lower Murrumbidgee.

Lower Murrumbidgee.

From our Correspondent. November 27th, 1858.

It has been decided by the Government that a spot of ground at Lang's Crossing Place shall be laid

out as a township, so that three year's agitation of the subject in the columns of the Herald has at last

been rewarded with some amount of success. Having recently visited the locality, I propose to give a

few particulars of its situation, present appearance, and prospects.

On the north bank of the Murrumbidgee, at a spot about ... miles below Wagga Wagga, and about 100

above Balranald, is a very deep bend of the river, the extreme bay of which consists of low swampy

ground covered with stunted box trees, bushes, underwood, &c. Two thirds of the way up the bend

commences a fine ... bush, thinly studded with gum trees, and with here and there a clump of mimosa.

The mouth of the bend is perhaps one-third or perhaps half a mile wide.

At the western corner, and standing by themselves, are two large slabbed buildings occupied as

stores by Mr. F. Cadell; at the eastern corner is seen a fine weather-boarded building, with brick

chimney, shingled roof, and wide verandah - near it is another slab building, and at a little distance a

stable - over the door of the main bulding is a modest sign, which informs the public that Henry

Leonard is licensed to retail wine and spirits, at the sign of the Murrumbidgee Punt Hotel. Not

far off are a saw-pit, a smithy, and several slabbed huts.

A road running south from the hotel, leads shortly to a large and commodious punt, where are

conveniences for crossing sheep, drays, horses, &c.; the approaches to the punt lie high up above flood

mark. From Cadell's store another road runs south-east to a smaller punt, the approaches to which are

not very good, and are situated so low that during the recent flood they were under water, and it was

impossible for sheep or drays to approach the punt. This punt belongs to Mr. Jeffreys, and for some

time past no charges whatsoever have been made for crossing in it. The reason for this liberality on

the part of the proprietor, is generally supposed to be a desire to oppose Mr. Leonard, whose house

was pulled down some time ago, as it will be remembered by Mr. Jeffrey's orders, who had a better

punt a little higher up the river.

This, then, is the locality usually known as Lang's Crossing Place, and Police Point. This is the spot

where the township is to be laid out, where a police court must, as a matter of course, soon be

established, where a church before long will be built, where cattle dealers already begin to assemble.

This is the spot to which the telegraph will be extended from Deniliquin, and from which our

government will one day have to make a railway to the Murray.

Twice during the present season have two steamboats at a time been seen discharging cargo at this


spot, and five boats in all have come there during the last year. The spot is found to be very central, as

a place of meeting, for the neighbouring settlers, and this township on the Murrumbidgee will serve as

a sort of rallying place to us, in the same manner as Deniliquin does to the Edward River settlers.

Letters from the Surveyor General state that land may now be had on the township, and Mr.

Surveyor Adams is at present at Lang's, making a preliminary survey of the locality. Many persons

are waiting anxiously to purchase plots of ground, and the first sale of land at Lang's will, no doubt. be

the means of sending some money into the Treasury.

With respect to the name of the township I do not as yet hear any talk. It is, however, to be hoped that

it will not receive any English name, as such names are not only horridly hacknied, but generally are

singularly inappropriate when applied to places in Australia. Mr. Jeffrey's station is called Il-li-wa,

and the spot where Cadell's store stands, is named War-ra-ge-ri. Either of these native words would make a pretty and very plain and distinguishing name for the new township.

What is shown on Twynam's 1859 Design for the Town of Wentworth.

The area is divided into streets, sections and allotments.

Names of original holders of allotments - as is shown in the later copy of the map that we have. I have

not yet had the opportunity to check how these details match up, but they seem to be mostly the same.

However the main difference is that it shows the position of the Buildings on Adam's 1858 Sketch:

a. [Williams]

Clearly shown from Adam's Sketch that it would be in the Wharf area - but can't see on 1859 Map;

possibly because of other written information concerning the Wharf in this area on the map.

[Blocks 'b' to 'e' are in what would now be known as the Wharf Precinct.]

b. [Cadell]

Section 23, Allotment 1A, Darling Street.

Building lengthwise on block.

c. [Williams]

Section 23, Allotment 1, Darling Street.

Building is angled across the block and a corner seems to go onto Cadell's block.

d. [McGeorge]

Section 23, also on Allotment 1, Darling Street.

One part of the building aligned with the back of William's building.

The second smaller building of McGeorge is closer to Darling street and straddles Allotments 1 and 2.

e. [McGeorge]

Section 23, Allotment 3 (a larger allotment), Darling Street.

Buildings scattered across block.

f. [Fradgeley]

On Adam's Sketch, Fradgeley's building is shown as about halfway along a line drawn from Allotment

1 of Section 23 and the point where the Church block southern boundary is on the Darling River.

Possibly it is one of the two buildings on the extension of Sandwych* Street near the Darling

River. One is at the top of Allotment 5 of Section 23 half onto the road. The other is fully on the road

abutting Allotment 1 of Section 24.

* This is the correct spelling for the street.

The numbering of the buildings was progressing in a northerly direction, so one would expect that

McClymont's building would be further north than Fradgeley's. There is no 'g' next to the second

building on Allotment 1 which has the original holder of the block as McClymont.

Other Buildings are also Shown.

Starting at the western side of the town.

Cadell Street.

Hospital Site of 10 acres.

'Resumed see Government Gazette 1867 Folio 2218.

Hospital Site.'

Cadell Street goes through the site.

Included in the site is a clearly delineated

1 acre; Renner. Position of Building shown.

Moving along Cadell Street to where it is intersected by Alice Street, the corner block, Allotment 10

of Section 3. On the 1900 Map this Allotment is broken into two, one 'Jas. Price', the other 'James Price'.

On the 1859 Map it is 'J Price' and a much more heavily written

'J. Price'. A Building is next to it - ON Alice Street itself.

Again along Cadell Street to Allotments 4 and 5 of Section 2 of Section 3.

Allotment 4, that strangely 'L' shaped block is given to James S. Smith (rather than just J. S. Smith).

Allotment 5 is still given to J T Smith - but the block is further subdivided with the smaller portion

away from the street containing a Building.

The next block, Allotment 6, Thomas McGeorge, is again 'L' shaped. This is to accommodate the two

'short' blocks of Allotments 7 and 8 - both also held by T McGeorge.

It is not quite clear, but I think there is a small Building on Allotment 7 and a larger one on

Allotment 8. Again the name of the holder of a building appears to be much thicker and darker.

Further along Cadell Street intersects Beverley Street.

There is a Building ON Beverley Street. The holder of the closest block, Allotment 10, John Crozier,

is not darker.

Another Building is on the next block, Allotment 1 Section 1.

The name of the holder, Geo B Fletcher, is not darker.

Allotment 3 is held by George Butler Fletcher (rather than just G B Fletcher).

George M Perry's Allotment 4 of Section 1 has a Building towards the front of the block.

I think it is just a smudge rather than a building on the boundary between Allotments 5 and 6. But ...

Need to magnify.


Ditto for the smudge on Allotment 8.

Darling Street, along the river.

The Crossing Place/Wharf goes right up to the Allotments of Section 23 without a gap.

In addition to the buildings in the Wharf Precinct mentioned before.

Section 24, Allotment 1.

A Building across the middle of the block. Geo. M. Perry original holder of land.

The next block, Allotment 2.

A Building across the block a little closer to the river. Same holder of land - Perry.

Moving up Darling Street -

The Church / School /Manse site seems to have changed considerably.

Allotment 29, Section 1 is Church of England Church site, dedicated 18 Nov 1870. 1 acre.

Then comes the Parsonage site on Allotment 2. 2 roods.

Then a 2 rood Reserve on Allotment 3.

Finally the Public School site dedicated 18 Nov 1870. 1 acre 2 roods 33 perches.

Further along Darling Street (but on other side of the road) at the corner with Nevill Street, is Section

34.

Across part of Allotments 5 and 4 is the Pound and Stock Yard.

This is not the Stock Yard shown in Adam's Survey.

The Northern End of Town around the Other Wharf Reserve..

Across the northern corner of the Wharf Reserve, Adams/Randell Streets, is marked a Building

labelled 'Hut'.

IN the Randell Street extension to the river is a Building labelled 'Store'.

Next along the river is W R Randell's Allotment 1 of Section 45. On this, close to the river, is a

Windmill. .

Across Adams Street, on Allotments 1 and 2 of Section 44 is a Hotel and Kitchen.

The Hotel / Kitchen complex is clearly defined.

The 'western' boundary is parallel to, and slightly onto, Bolton Street.

It stretches from near the top of Allotment 2, to a point that is two thirds of the way along Allotment 1

towards Randell Street.


The 'southern' boundary is about two thirds of the way across Allotment 1, parallel with Randell Street.

The 'eastern' and 'northern' boundaries make up a rectangular block.

The hotel is centred on that part of the block that is within Allotment 1.

It is the largest building outlined on the map.

The Kitchen is an elongated building, at right angles to, and fully separated from the hotel building.

The kitchen is fully within Allotment 2.

The name of the original holder of both Allotments 1 and 2 is W. R. Randell - but this is for the whole

of the area, NOT the specifically designated hotel/kitchen block.

......................................

The Stock Yard shown in Adam's 1858 Survey.

The 1859 Map shows this to sit diagonally across the corner of Allotment 13 Section 22. Most of the

Stock Yard juts out across Adelaide and Darling Streets.

The Graves shown in Adam's 1858 Survey.

The 1859 Map doesn't show the actual graves but the general location is marked by the word I think is

'Graves' written across the bottom of the Roman Catholic Presbytery site. There are some marks out

on Adams Street - but they could be part of other notations.

Some Other Differences between the 1859 and 1900 Maps.

Starting at the west of the Town.

The Cemetery.

The 1859 Map has a section across the middle that would be the extension of Murray Street. The

General Cemetery and the Wesleyan/Presbyterian Cemeteries appear above this strip. The Church of

England and Roman Catholic Cemeteries below it.

Water on parts of Allots 14 & 15, Sect 5. What appears as a body of water (or just prone to flooding?) stretches across the border areas between

Allots 14 and 15. It stretches across Murray Street in one direction and across a little of Allot 3 in the

other direction.

Presbyterian Area.

In Sect 6, Allots 3, 4 & 5 on Cadell Street are designated for the Prebyterian Church. The adjoining

blocks on Murray Street are designated Allot 13 for a School. and Allot 14 for a Manse.

There are no holders of any Allotments in Section 12.

Summary.

It would seem to me that in many instances Twynam's 1859 Design for the Town of Wentworth was

drawn up despite Adam's 1858 Plan showing the existing buildings rather than being based on these

existing dwellings.

"Williams" is a new name to be added to Adam's 1859 buildings (although the name is well known in

the area being connected way back to Jenkins just after his original settlement at Mildura station).

Thomas McGeorge's cluster of buildings suggest to me a hotel - existing in 1858.

The site of the large hotel shown on the 1859 Design near the other Upper Wharf area at the northern

end of what became the town later became the Racecourse Hotel.

Feb 1859 Cadell takes Sir Richard Mac Donnell up the Darling to Minnindee (Menindee).

The Darling.

From a Correspondent, Darling Junction, February 13.

The steamer Albury arrived today on her downward passage with His Excellency Sir Richard

MacDonnell on board, having been up the Darling as far as Minnindee [Minindee], some 600 or

700 miles by water and about 300 by land. This clearly proves the Darling to be navigable, and

Captain Cadell as usual has been the pioneer.

I think this ought to be the name of the steamer, as she was the first to Gundagai on the

Murrumbidgee, and now is the first to navigate the Darling.

Captain Cadell's name should be placed on the list of Australian explorers.

South Australian Register, 21 Feb 1859.

___________________________________

Mar 1859 GEMINI and Captain Randell 150 miles beyond Bourke; The Gemini sinks at the Junction.

The Darling Junction.

From our Correspondent, Darling Junction, March 14.

The steamer Gemini arrived on Wednesday evening last, having been up the Darling as it is possible

for a steamer to go. The farthest point reached was about 150 miles (by land) above Fort Bourke;

and Captain Randell states that the farther he went up the Darling the better he found the country,

the feed for cattle being excellent.

In coming down the river, it is supposed through the neglect of the fireman, the bar-fires all got

destroyed, and it was with great difficulty that they got to the Junction, where, after a delay of two

days, they were loaded, and the necessary repairs effected.

It was intended to start up the Darling again on the Saturday morning; but on the engineer going on

board on Friday evening, about half-past 7 or 8 o'clock, he found she was making water. He

immediately gave the alarm, and sent for Captain Lindsay; but in less than ten minutes she went


down, and all that is to be seen of her is one bow and the funnel. The supposed cause is, that being

light coming down the river, her seams got open, and on being loaded made water unobserved, or else

she was resting on a snag, and on being loaded it forced its way through her bottom. She was to have

gone up as far as Minnindee (sic - Menindee).

Immediately on the occurrence of the accident an express was sent to overtake Captain Randell, he

having left in the Bunyip for Goolwa about an hour before it took place. On returning the next day,

the Bunyip picked up some flour at the Anabranch, about thirty miles down the Murray, and at several

other places up to the Darling. The Bunyip is now going up the Darling before she goes to Goolwa; but

I think by the time she gets down the Darling the water will be too low, as the river is falling fast,

having gone down two feet within the last week. I was informed that Captain Robertson offered the

services of himself and party to try and get the Gemini afloat.

South Australian Register, 25 Mar 1859.

__________________________________________

Apr 1859 GEMINI and Captain Randell beyond Mount Murchison [near what became Wilcannia] to the Barwan [Barwon].

1,880 miles from the Junction [Wentworth], or 620 miles by land

The River Darling.

The opening up of this river to the extent of 2,000 miles is a circumstance of immense

consequence to the interests of the colony; but so unostentatiously has the enterprise been achieved,

that unless public attention be specially directed to it, its importance may not at present be fully

appreciated.

Our readers are aware that not many weeks since Captain Cadell returned from a trip to Mount

Murchison - a point which, being situated about 600 miles up the Darling, it was previously impossible

to reach. Thus the honour of opening the river to steam navigation belongs to that explorer. But, with a

spirit of emulation well worthy of such a noble exercise, Mr. W. R. Randell, who has a great reputation

of his own in connection with the Australian rivers, immediately followed up the new undertaking, and

pushed onward with his steamer the Gemini until he had penetrated the Barwan, and reached a

point 900 miles above Mount Murchison, and at least 100 miles beyond Fort Bourke.

But the reader, in order to estimate the extent of this exploration, should look at the map of Australia,

and he will see that the point thus reached is, as Sir Henry Barkly lately remarked at a public meeting

in Victoria, "more than one-third the distance between Melbourne and the Gulf of Carpentaria." Nor is

it to be supposed that anything like the utmost limit of this navigation has yet been reached. There are

other tributaries of the Darling besides the Barwan which are undoubtedly navigable, and which, at an

early period after the winter rains, may in all probability be penetrated to the distance of many


hundreds of miles beyond the present head of navigation, so that by this last effort to open up the

waters of the interior we have united ourselves by steam, not only with an immense tract of pastoral

country about to be occupied by the people of New South Wales, to whom it belongs, but with an

easily accessible point from which new explorations into the unknown interior may very

advantageously be made.

We ascertain from the particulars of Mr. Randell's voyage beyond Mount Murchison that he met with

no obstruction the whole way up, and that his arrival at the settlement on the Barwan created almost

as much sensation as did that of Columbus off the shores of America. It is true the people living upon

the tributary neither mistook Mr. Randell and his companions for "Children of the Sun," nor his vessel

for a living monster. But that they rolled their eyes with great energy as the steamer went puffing along

the margin of their runs may readily be supposed, when it is considered that they believed themselves

at least a thousand miles from the navigable part of the river. The following brief account of the

navigator's reception is from a letter of a correspondent published in the Sydney Morning Herald:-

"Captain Randell, with the steamer Gemini, has just come up the Barwan, as far as the rocks, five

miles below the house. It was quite a surprise to all of us who had the luck and pleasure to see it. A

strange sight, to see a steamer sailing, or rather steaming, up the river in such a wild, out-of-the-way

place as this. It will double the value of the runs on this part of the river, as we shall be able to get up

our rations at a comparatively low rate. Mr. Randell says he met with no obstacles on his way up.

When the river has a fresh he can advance higher. Nonah is the name of the place where he was

stopped by the rocks; it is a fishing place of the blacks, but I have now given the falls the name of

Gemini Falls. A subscription is being got up as a testimonial to Randell. He has erected a board at the

place, chronicling the fact of his getting there, and recording the names of all his crew. The river has

been falling for five weeks. At the height of the water he might have gone 200 miles further."

The most striking feature which presents itself in this navigation of the Darling is the absence of snags

- a circumstance all the more gratifying from the fact that these voyages have been made very late in

the season - so late, indeed, that when Captain Cadell started for Mount Murchison his attempt to

ascend the river was ridiculed by many persons. It would thus appear that the Darling is naturally

better fitted for navigation than either the Murray or the Murrumbidgee.

With regard to the traffic which must take place upon the Darling, we have already pointed out that it

cannot, under ordinary circumstances, have any other outlet than through South Australia. That traffic,

moreover, must ultimately be the most important of our river trade from the fact that the country

through which it will pass is much further removed from the seaboard than either the valley of the

Murray or the plains of the Murrumbidgee. For many years probably this traffic will consist of but

little more than wool to be brought down and stores carried up. The extent of the country, however,

said to be fitted for pastoral occupation is so vast, that this trade alone may amount to something

considerable, and be well worth securing at the cost of a little exertion and forethought.

The following particulars of the Gemini's trip have been kindly supplied us by Captain Randell, who

himself took the steamer in this her first voyage to the Barwan:-

"The Gemini left Captain Randell's store at the Darling Juntion [Wentworth] on Wednesday, February

2. On 10th, whilst proceeding up the Darling, found the Albury at Mr. Reid's station on her return


from Mount Murchison. The Gemini arrived at the Mount Murchison station (Mr. Jamieson's), the

highest point attained by the Albury, on the 16th February. On the following day passed Mr. Suttor's

station, the highest up supplied from the junction. Mr. Spence's station at Fort Bourke was reached on

the 20th. This station has hitherto been supplied from the Sydney side. The next station passed before

reaching the Barwan was Gunnawarra (Mr. T. Dangar's), on Wednesday 23rd February. On the

following day the highest point attained by the Gemini, which is on the Barwan, was reached. This is

called the Falls, or the blacks' fishing-grounds, and includes a rapid, and a fall of seven or eight feet in

200 or 300 yards; but in seasons of high flood this might be passed with the aid of warps, and 100 to

200 miles added to the navigation. This distance would also be found transversable with great facility,

and the banks are comparatively thickly occupied. The country from Mount Murchison to Fort

Bourke is taken up, but quite unoccupied, although the banks of the river are covered with luxuriant

grass, and the land generally is lightly timbered. The Darling country is admirably adapted for wool-

growing and fit for pastoral purposes generally. The soil is superior to any seen on the Murray or

Murrumbidgee.

The distance traversed by the Gemini was 1,880 miles from the Junction [Wentworth], or 620 by

land. From Menindee, Mr. Baker's station, to a point 80 miles above Fort Bourke, the river is

particularly fine for navigation, so much so that the Gemini pursued her course by moonlight as well as

by day.

The blacks were at first terribly alarmed at the approach of the steamer, and in many instances ran

away in affright; and some Mount Murchison blacks on board the steamer landed occasionally, and by

this means many were induced to come on board. They were friendly, useful in getting wood for the

steamer, and much delighted with the flour, tobacco, &c., distributed by Captain Randell wherever

opportunity offered.

The white men at Mr. Spence's station were quite as terrified by the noise of the steamer's approach at

night as the blacks, for they mistook it for the war-cry of the natives, and prepared to give a warm

reception to their unseen assailants. They extinguished their fires and lights, loaded their firearms, and

remained so quietly in their defensive attitude that the steamer had almost passed the station without

hearing the voice of any human on shore.

The return voyage to the Darling Junction was accomplished in a fortnight, and the Gemini had

taken in a second cargo for the Darling settlers from Mr. Randell's store there, when she sank on the

evening of the 11th March, from some cause yet to be explained. The Bunyip was, however,

immediately laden, and took the place of the Gemini for another voyage up the river, which was

accomplished in safety."

1857 to 1864 Land Sales by James MAIDEN in MOAMA.

(Rusheen Craig 14 Nov 2006)

Maiden's Punt, named after James Maiden, punt owner, station owner, publican and post

master, was renamed Moama and gazetted in 1851.

Below are the land sales made by Maiden as they appear in the Index of Sales 9-9-1857 to 21-12-1864.

The original documents pertaining to these sales can be looked up at the Lands Titles Office (next to

Hyde Park Barracks, and across the street from St Mary's Cathedral). There is no charge to see these

documents.

I should have looked for the earlier period to get the first sales, but I was working on other matters in

the 1857-1864 period. Perhaps another time.

Mention is also made of parcels of land in Victoria, and in Deniliquin, and land sold by others

with James Maiden.

1860 River Darling Area, Mar 1860.

South Australian Advertiser, 8 March 1860.

We have been favoured with the following information from the River Darling:

The township of Wentworth, at the junction of the Darling with the Murray, has been laid out by the

New South Wales Government, and the sale will take place in the middle of March.

The establishment of a mail by the Government from Wentworth to Mount Murchison

[Wilcannia], distance 300 miles, has given great satisfaction to the residents of this district. The mail

leaves Wentworth every alternate Monday at 6 a.m., and arrives at Mount Murchison on the following

Saturday at 6 p.m.: leaving Mount Murchison on return every alternate Monday at 6 a.m., and arriving

at Wentworth the following Saturday. It is believed that the Government will shortly carry on this mail

line 200 miles further - to Fort Bourke, and from thence ere long to an additional distance of about 150

miles - to Wallgett (sic), which will make the communication with Sydney complete.


The River Namoi, one of the tributaries of the Darling, is running bank high, rains having fallen for

several days in great abundance.

The difficulty of bringing wool from the Upper Darling this year has been considerable. There are yet

400 to 500 bales to be brought down to Wentworth.

The settlers and others on the Murray and the Darling have lately presented a testimonial,

accompanied by a purse of one hundred sovereigns to Mr Thomas Hill Goodwin, the Church of

England lay reader at Yelta, near Wentworth.

A clergyman of the Church of Scotland is expected to arrive shortly and itinerate upon the Murray

and Darling, Dr. Fletcher, of Tapio, having contributed £100 to pay his passage, and the other

settlers having guaranteed him sufficient stipend for a term of years.

The Murray is reported to have risen two feet at Overland Corner. If this is the case, the Wakool and

the Moolgewanke will be able to complete their voyages up the river. - Pastoral Times.

_________________________________________

1860 & 1861 An account of the trans-Darling region by Robert Biggart Gow.

Gow explores a large part of the far western country.

Paper read before the Royal Australian Historical Society by James Jarvis in 1947 .

GOW'S JOURNEY

An interesting account of the trans-Darling region has been placed on record by Robert Biggart Gow,

who examined a considerable stretch of country west of the river. Gow made two trips to this district,

the first in 1860 and the second the following year. In the first journey Gow reached the Upper

Darling, where he found the pasture of the "most superior quality." He writes:

"Not a hoof ever trod it, there it lays, hundreds of thousands of square miles, all that could be desired

in the way of feed but not a drop of water. No streams, no lakes, no springs for one or 200 miles. After

rain travelling is practicable, but only for a few weeks or months. I learned however, that the blacks

report a mountainous country as laying west of the Darling which is certain to contain water. All who

have been out report the country as of good quality as they have been ..."

Gow left Melbourne again on February 13, 1861. At Wentworth, then in its infancy, he met Mr Perry,

late Commissioner for Crown Lands for the district, who tried to dissuade him from travelling up

the river. "First there was no track; next there was no water; third, the anabranch was a mere

name, not a reality."

Gow engaged a black boy named "Captain Cadell" and set off across country to the anabranch


through what he describes as "a very good pastoral country principally of low, open, bush plains." At

Tituliter Station, the property of Dr Fletcher, Gow met Mr Haverfield and party, with whom he

joined forces. They moved on together to Lake Yatola and then returned to the Darling, up which the

party travelled to Menindie.

On May 14, Gow's party left Menindie to examine the country towards the South Australian

border. About seventeen miles from Menindie an immense plain was reached, which was described

by Gow as good sheep country. On the following day Stephen's Creek was crossed. Gow wrote thus:

"The banks are covered with beautiful feed. This creek has a channel 30 or 40 yards wide containing

no hotels (sic) [definately says this] like other Australian creeks. The banks are shaded by healthy gum

trees which require a good supply of moisture. I think that this indication is favourable for well

sinking."

[3 pages further on]

While at Menindie, Wright of the Burke and Wills expedition, arrived, and Gow, after discussing

the position with him, decided not to set out for Cooper's Creek as he intended. Instead he made up

his mind to examine the Upper Darling country. The diary continues:-

"I consider as the Upper Darling country lays much nearer the great Eastern Coast range, it was most

likely that a better watered route would be found there than from Menindie. This country had never

been examined so it was totally unknown, but so confident was I of finding one watercourse cutting

across my intended route that I expressed my intention of naming it Clough's Creek."

Gow and his companions crossed to the east bank of the Darling, which they followed to Mount

Murchison [later Wilcannia area], where they re-crossed to the western side and spent a couple of

days at H. and B. Jamieson's station. The next move was to Kallara Station, recently purchased by

Dr Youl, City Coroner of Melbourne. On arrival there it was learnt that a river to the west of the

Darling answering to Gow's "Clough's Creek" had been discovered for which a party of surveyors

was about to start (This evidently refers to the Paroo River - J.J.). Gow and Thorton left Kallara on

horseback, and at about eighteen miles from the station struck the tracks of Surveyor Arthur's dray,

which they continued to follow.

On July 30 Gow reached a spot known by the natives as "Windolo," where a native brought him four

ducks. Further on, the party came on Arthur's advance camp, which was in charge of a young man

named McHattie, a son of a well-known Bathurst doctor, who informed Gow that he had not yet

seen the Paroo.

Gow notes that he reached the Paroo on July 31 at a point where the channel was about twenty feet

wide and eight or ten feet deep, and followed its course for about nine miles. The natives with Gow

showed him tracks which were found to have been made by a party led by a man named Williams,

which appears to have been engaged in the search for fresh pastoral country. At Eularana Gow's party

left the Paroo and struck, apparently, a north-west course. On August 1 they were very close to the

Queensland border and on country having the appearance of a tableland. At this stage Gow was

without water for a period of 77 hours, and his horse went a longer time without it.


On August 6, Thornton (Gow's companion) left him to return to the Darling, and with him went

Florance, manager of Kallara, who was one of the party. Gow again made for the Paroo, which he

followed north and came upon Surveyor Arthur's camp on August 8. Young McHattie said he

considered the Paroo a superior stream to the Warrego, and classed it as a river from the length of its

course. Knowing that Vincent Dowling, the original discoverer of this country, had applied for

most of it, Gow had not considered a careful examination of the Paroo necessary. He was now

154 miles from Kallara.

Whilst having dinner at a fine waterhole on the Paroo on August 10, Gow was joined by Williams

and his party; they had been about 70 or 80 miles further up the stream. Dowling and Arthur's

cart came up shortly afterwards, and the party camped about a mile north of the Queensland

border. Here Gow was introduced to Dowling, who gave him an account of the country to the north

and west.

At this camp, 164 miles from Kallara, they remained for three or four days. In addition to Arthur

and McHattie there was a young man named Rotten, a son of a member of the NSW Parliament,

two men named Williams, a Mr. Nelson, Vincent Dowling, Kelly (a stockman), and two other

white men. About 30 blacks were also with the party.

From this point Gow, accompanied by Dowling and Kelly, went eastward, crossing Cuttaburra

Creek, the Irrara and the Warrego. The country generally carried good pasture. On August 20 the

party reached Dowling's head camp. From the camp Gow followed the Warrego down to the

Darling, which he reached after about three day's travelling. Soon after his departure on the 23rd he

saw a flock of the Bogan River Company's sheep, and some distance further on an out-station of the

Company's was reached. Here Gow spent the night with Mr. Kirby, one of the managers. Gow

writes:-

"This is the furthest out of settlement in N.S. Wales."

Gow reached Kallara, his starting point on the expedition, on August 29. He then made his way down

to Mount Murchison, where he boarded the Molywanke, reached Wentworth in four days, and

continued on his way to Melbourne.

(Information from Robert Biggart Gow's diary, National Library, Canberra).

Gow spent some years at Corona, Alberta and Yantara Stations on the Darling; later he appears

to have returned to Scotland.

It will be seen that Gow covered an extensive area of country on his exploratory journey and

appears to have formed a favorable opinion of the region as pastoral country. This region was

looking at its best, and he does not appear to have understood that the region was, generally speaking,

one affected by drought conditions.

Tintinallogy Station

Twenty four and a half miles frontage to the Darling, with 23,000 grown sheep, 9,600 lambs, and

3,000 cattle.

Argus, 10 Aug 1882.

Instructions from Messrs. Staughton Bros. to offer for sale by public auction on 21st September next

TINTINALLOGY STATION

Situated on the Darling River, and in the Albert District of NSW, consisting of the following blocks:-

Werimbela,

Potacingoga,

Minden,

Outer Minden

Brainerd and

Outer Brainerd

being about 245,650 acres (more or less) with

23,000 grown sheep

9500 lambs

3000 mixed cattle

110 horses.

The country consists of fine open cotton and saltbush plains, interspersed with well-grassed ridges,

open box flats, with pines, mulgah, and edible bushes and herbage of the most fattening description,

and is all first-class sheep country.

There is a frontage of 24 miles to the Darling River, with a double frontage to the Tellywalka

Creek, on which is a large dam throwing the water back about eight miles. There are two first-class


fresh water wells in full working order, with horse paddocks attached, about 14 and 16 miles back

from the river. A trial shaft has struck fresh water in the centre of the run. There are several tanks,

four large natural water holes, one of which has only been dry once in 21 years.

The run is subdivided into seven paddocks with sheep-proof fencing, another paddock (not yet

finished), and horse-paddocks, &c; also, first-class complete sheep and cattle drafting yards. The plant

consists of everything necessary for working the property, and is all in good order.

The sheep are principally bred from Gunbar ewes by Elielwah and Canowie rams. The cattle are

very well bred and of good ages, very little breeding having been done on the run for the last two

years, and there are no old cattle.

There is a woolshed for 13 shearers on the bank of the river, with yards on the banks of the river,

with yards, receiving paddock, shearers' huts, &c.

On the home station is a seven-roomed brick house, outhouses, underground store, men's hut,

wool-house, and garden stocked with choice trees in full bearing, and provided with whim for

watering.

The Messrs. Staughton Bros. have held the station FOR 21 YEARS, and have never seen two clips

of wool on the river at the same time. Until last year Tintinallogy has always been under cattle, and

consequently is as new country for sheep.

Any further particulars can be had on application to the auctioneers,

47 Bourke-street west, Melbourne.

Menindie, Saturday.

Mr. Staughton's Tintinallogy has been sold to Messrs. Ross, Reid, and Co., at a satisfactory price.

Jan 1862 A Voice From the Lower Darling.


The place properly called "Perry" is situated on the western bank of the Darling, nearly opposite the

southern confluence of the creek or Telawaki, shown on the map, but not named, though at the point

indicated the words Undeathi Ck. appear.

Perry Town to some extent, has a real existence, for it has been surveyed and subdivided; it comprises

already a neat and comfortable inn, an extensive store, and a police camp. It has a good punt - private

property certainly, and is one of the main depots for the steamers trafficking up and down the river.

Perry Town is about 260 miles below Fort Bourke, and about 174 miles by road to Wentworth, at the


junction of the Darling and the Murray, though only about 115 miles in a direct line. In consequence of

the absence of water such a line would not be available for travelling. Menindie, or Perry, is a point

of divergence from the Darling of the exploring parties which have lately occasioned so much anxiety

and general interest. It would seem that Perry Town, of which numbers of your readers have never

heard, is destined to become the great centre amidst New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, and

the recently discovered country, the scene of the labours and vicissitudes of Sturt, Stuart, Burke and

Wills, and now at the present time - Howitt and McKinnon.

Let it, be understood:- that the whole of the Darling River, from Walgett to Wentworth, a distance

of, in round numbers, 700 miles, is under occupation and license; excepting only two blocks of 20

and 10 miles frontage respectively forfeited runs - shortly, it is believed, to be submitted to

competition, which therefore leaves the proposition the same.

That the Darling is rapidly becoming the great line of thoroughfare for stock between the Northern

and Southern colonies, and that it ultimately will become so entirely, there can be little question. This

being so, let us ask what provision has been made for the security of life, the protection of property,

and the adjustment of minor differences, or the redress of minor wrongs?

The answer is, none, positively none. From We Wa [sic] to Wentworth, 800 miles, there is not a

single lock-up. Is it that this locality is free from crime, - that the servants are ever exemplary and

masters always just? Again the reply is "No." It is because a district so vast, of such paramount

importance to the present and future welfare of the colony, is unrepresented except in name. What is

the immediate effect of this state of things upon the residents within the limits of the eight hundred

miles we have named? Simply that almost anything may be done with impunity, since none would be

found who would voluntarily prosecute, - few who would not far prefer to put up with a great wrong

rather than incur the loss of time, the bodily fatigue, and great expense of a journey to Walgett, to

Dubbo, or to Wentworth.

This is a fact that requires no elaboration; it is within the experience of every resident on the river.

Two murderers have within the last three months been forwarded to Dubbo from Fort Bourke, 300

miles; from thence they have been escorted to Bathurst, 150 more; making a total of 900 miles for

witnesses to travel. Lock-ups are required at Walgett, Fort Bourke, and Menindie, which, as we have

seen, are about 303 miles apart. The Police Magistrate of Wentworth could attend at Menindie

once a month at least; whilst, perhaps, the commissioner for the Warrego could act at Fort

Bourke. They who are acquainted with this subject will see that these improvements would only

involve the present staff, that no extra police are required, and that the court and police business of that

immense void on the map through which the Darling flows can thus be effectually conducted at the

cost only of two additional lock-ups, aided by a slight modification of the duties of the officers and

men before mentioned. It cannot be said that any of these observations proceed from a factious spirit,

or that they are the heated ebullitions of party-rage. It is trusted that if there be any truth in these facts,

anything practicable for good in these suggestions, it may not be suffered to pass unheeded, or without

awakening some attention to the uncomplaining.

His Exploration in the Albert District.

The following report from the Assistant Commissioner of Crown Lands for the Albert District, to

the Chief Commissioner, will be read with interest. It contains ... details of an exploring trip into that

part of the Albert district known as "the dry country," to the eastward of the River Darling, and gives

information concerning land a large portion of which had not been previously explored.

From the Assistant Commissioner for the Albert District, to the Chief Commissioner of Crown Lands,

Sydney, forwarding a Sketch illustrating his route through the South-eastern portion of that District.

Camp, Dunlop, Albert,

19 November, 1864.

Sir, - With reference to your letter (64-2198) of the 8th of June last, addressed to Mr. Commissioner

Woore, requesting a sketch illustrating my route, and the positions visited by me in the south-eastern

portion of the Albert District, I have now the honour to forward herewith a ..gh tracing, shewing those

particulars, taken from that gentleman's plan thereof, and which compiled from ... information I

previously gave him on the subject. I ... forward a report as to the general character and capacity of

that country, with such details of the proceedings ... my party as I hope may meet with your

satisfaction.

I have the honour, &c.,

(Signed) DANIEL A. BYRNE.

The Chief Commissioner Crown Lands.

..................

From the Assistant Commissioner of Crown Lands for the Albert District, to the Chief Commissioner

of Crown Lands, Sydney, reporting upon the general character of the South-eastern portion of the

district, and furnishing an account of proceedings of party whilst visiting same.

Dunlop, Albert,

21 November, 1864

Sir, - I have the honour to report upon the general character and capabilities of the back country

represented on ... accompanying tracing of the south-eastern portion of the Albert District, and to

furnish you with the detail of the proceedings of my party whilst visiting the same.


The general character of the country alluded to may be described under four headings, viz.,

- mountainous or hilly,

- undulating and forest,

- salt and cotton bush plains,

- and scrub.

The first constitutes a great part of the area, as illustrated on the map. The ranges constituting this class

of country are chiefly of an open character, slightly timbered with mulga, and of good grazing capacity

- this character applies to all, except those marked "rough and broken." The formation is principally

limestone. They are intersected by many creeks, ... of which are of good size, and contain water for

two or three months after rain. The advantage (although not permanent) afforded in this respect to this

particular description of country makes it most attractive for immediate occupation.

The undulating and forest lands consist of good available country, well stocked with pasturage, which

is chiefly composed of herbs, such as carrot, crowfoot, salt and cotton bush, &c. The soil is composed

of a soft red loam of a very ...orbing nature.

The creeks which enter into this country from the neighbouring ridges, lose their form soon, and

become indistinct as watercourses.

Much of this kind of country exists towards the eastern extremity of the district - if permanently

watered, it would, in my opinion, be inferior to none as regards its grazing capabilities. The timber is

mulga, box and oak - the latter being well adapted to building purposes.

Salt and cotton-bush plains are well understood here to be ... good character. A good deal of this

description lies near "Menara " range, along "Jeryawinia" watercourse, and ...g my north-eastern

course at the back of the blocks ...ted upon the River Darling. Clay pans are of frequent occurence in

this country, and they generally hold water sufficient for the winter months, but are entirely dependant

on rain.

The Scrub consists of three kinds, mallee, mulga, and pine. ... south-eastern portion of the district

abounds in the ...er, and it is scattered in small patches intersected by ... country in other parts. Mulga

abounds about the ... of the ranges everywhere; pine is very generally scattered over the whole back

country, but constitutes a ... or scrub as marked on the south-western course, ...ough "Donald's Plains,

Block A."




............................

Dunlop, Albert, 22nd November, 1864.


Sir, - I have the honour to append a detail of the proceedings of my party whilst visiting the back

country referred to in the preceding report.

The party consisted of one man and myself. We took with us four strong horses, two of which were

well trained ... the pack. They were heavily laden with two months provisions, camps, &c. The

STARTING PLACE WAS "WINBAR," ..., Glass's station, upon the Darling River, where the party

left on the 15th SEPTEMBER, 1863, and returned to the same point on the 1st of NOVEMBER

FOLLOWING, having travelled within that time over SEVEN HUNDRED MILES.

The mode of proceeding was by careful compass bearings to and from prominent features. In this

respect the country traversed afforded great facilities, and enabled ... by striking land marks and

frequent observation of their bearings to keep a pretty accurate course. Whenever practicable the

horses accompanied us, but when difficulties such as steep and inaccessible ridges rendered this plan

impossible I was forced to walk and return to some accessible place, after making the necessary

inspection of the surrounding country.

The travelling was very slow and laborious, rendered so particularly by the softness characteristic of

all unoccupied ... in the district; the horses while proceeding slowly would sink to their fetlocks, and

the decayed mulga, so generally met with, impeded as well as injured nearly all them by staking,

thereby causing lameness. These difficulties compelled me to act a good deal upon judgement as

regards calculations of distances. The pace at which we commonly travelled was three miles an hour,

but when ...urable country occurred this estimation was increased to ... miles for the same time.

Water was easily obtained while traversing the hilly country in the gullies and creeks. Several of the

latter were carefully examined, both upward and downwards, but no discovery of note was made. The

privations felt from the want of water were very great, while journeying over ... low lands, whilst upon

the most remote south-western ... this casualty occurred for three successive days. [Vege]tation was

very young and luxuriant during the ... time , and afforded great advantages to the horses ... in badly

watered country.

There were a great many camps belonging to the aborigines met with on the ridges, as marked on the

...ama," blocks. Also at "Menara;" every effort was made to find inhabitants without success.

The determination of the party was to reach Mr. Chadwick's lowest station upon the Darling

[Albermarle]. This intention was ...pointed [disappointed?] by the flood then in that river. The back ...

obliged us to follow up their course, and the first ... we arrived at was an out-station belonging to that

gentleman, as marked in the tracing. Here we replenished our stock of provisions, already exhausted.

The superintendent kindly accompanied us back for two ... He afforded me much useful information.

From his ... knowledge of places upon the river, their positions, ...y observations of distant features, I

was enabled to ...er very little variation from my former conclusions regarding the correctness of my

traverse throughout.

I was induced to make this expedition with as small a party as possible, having no danger to fear

from the blacks; and inexperienced bushmen occasion more confusion than advantage to a

leader. My efforts to secure an aboriginal in my early journey were ineffectual. I could not


prevail upon their objection to trespassing over the boundaries of their neighbours. They are

unfriendly to each other, and such an opportunity as this would afford, was feared to give too many

facilities for avenging some former transgression.


(Signed) DANIEL A. BYRNE, A.C.C.L., Albert.

..............................

Dunlop, Albert, 23rd November, 1864.

Sir, - With reference to your letter (64.2272) of 30th June last, requesting to be informed by me what

process the positions were determined as marked on the map of the south-eastern portion of the Albert

district, forwarded to you by Mr Commissioner Woore the 27th April last, I have the honor to inform

you that those positions were marked simply by transverse and compass bearings.

I have endeavoured by this method to be as particular as possible, and took every opportunity of

checking my work by frequent observations from known positions while traversing the back country

contiguous to the Darling River.




.............................

Summary

of the above that appears in the Hobart Mercury of 8th March 1865.

Mr Byrne's tour through the "dry country" to the east of the Darling River, and between that

stream and the Lachlan.

The general character of the country alluded to may be described under four headings:

1) mountainous or hilly,

2) undulating and forest,

3) salt and cotton bush plains,

4) scrub.

Of his four divisions the first three can be mostly utilised, though some of the mountainous portions

seem too rugged to be very inviting. The salt-bush country is not all plain, as has been very generally

supposed, though there are very large stretches of level country in it. The gullies in this broken country

may hereafter be found to offer fine opportunities for making dams for the storage of water.

On the flat country, Mr. Byrne felt the want of water very much, and his party was on one occasion

three days without it. The creeks that run down from the hilly country soon vanish as the soil is so


absorbent. Wells or tanks are absolutely essential for the flat country, except in localities where

irrigating canals can be cut from the river. Mr Byrne does not speak of permanent water anywhere;

even in the mountainous district the larger creeks do not appear to retain water more than three or four

months after rain. The formation in these ranges is mainly limestone which we consider is not the best

for the production of nutritive grasses.

The undulating country contains a fair supply of timber, and the soil is a soft red loam, and it bears a

very good herbage. It is heavy to travel over, and good roads on it will be almost an impossibility. It is

probable that the best roads for the Riverina will be found to be the railroads. Across the level country,

lines suited for the traffic could be made for £3,000 or £4,000 a mile, and could be constructed at a rate

of far beyond what we have achieved in more hilly country. According to the Deniliquin Chronicle,

water had not been found at a depth of 300 ft on the north-eastern side of the Darling.

................................

Critical Letter to the Editor about the worth of Byrne's "Exploration."

Sydney Morning Herald.

27 March 1865 p.5.

The greatest distance anywhere between the Darling and the eastern boundary of the Albert

district is less than 100 miles, of which 30 on average is under occupation. The extreme length of

Winbar station to the southerly point is somewhat under 150 miles.

If therefore within these confines Byrne managed a trip of 700 miles his traverse must indeed

have been minute.

Details well known already.

The eastern boundary of the Albert district is about parallel with the Darling at an average distance

not exceeding 70 miles. Byrne - 3 days without water. Yet must have been near Teryawenia Lake

(known) and its creek extending 120 miles. Mr Chadwick's lower station Albermarle reaches back 30

miles, nearly half way across the country "not previously explored."

Was Byrne aware that Haverfield several years ago thoroughly explored the country, not just the

SE corner of Albert District, and prepared a map and report for his employers Messrs Jamieson.

Several parties had already been over the country which is not in fact anywhere more than a two

day ride back from the river. Overseer at Winbar could have told Byrne of 12,000 sheep brought

across the country in question three years ago.

Byrne makes no mention of a creek in NE portion of the "dry country" which had been used years ago

as a lambing station (on this point refer him to the late proprietor of Gundabooka). There is also an

unmentioned spring within or near the limits of the Albert country.


People of the Riverina will not fail to wonder at "Exploration" of a country known all about,

mapped, and actually tendered for in Victoria years ago.

NSW should keep better posted on matters that vitally concern them. It is most astonishing that even

by rumour they do not seem to be aware that Mr Hugh Gracy, Mr Haverfield, the Messrs. Smith of

the Lachlan, and numerous others have been over the country said to have been "explored" by

Byrne. Nay, that a large flock of sheep has been driven across it actually to the very station

where Byrne started from - Winbar. That officer's ignorance of this fact is unaccountable.

..................................................................................

At Winbar at same time as "my" Daniel Byrnes.

It was strange that Daniel A. Byrne, the Chief Commissioner of Crown Lands, should be at the isolated

Winbar station on the upper Darling River towards Bourke at the same time as my ancestor Daniel

Byrnes and his family.

Mary Ann Byrnes was born to my Daniel and Ellen Byrne/s at Compador station (later said to

be the woolshed of Winbar station), 280,260 acres - Darling River up towards Bourke on 1st

November 1863. Only 6 males and 12 females were born in the entire Bourke area in 1863.

Daniel A. Byrne, Chief Commissioner of Crown Lands, left Winbar station, with one unnamed man,

on 15 September 1863.

Our Byrnes family had been on the way north towards Bourke in late 1860 when they met up with the

Burke and Wills Exploratory Expedition at Arumpo. They delayed their plans and followed the

Expedition into Menindie/Menindee where a son was born and a tiny daughter burnt to death. By

September 1863 they had travelled north to Compador/Winbar.

Daniel A. Byrne, Chief Commissioner of Crown Lands, had originally intended to start on his

"exploration" much earlier. There is no explanation of what delayed him.

Our Byrnes Family then returned to Wentworth for the birth of Catherine on 14 February 1866 (and

her death 10 days later).

1868 Distances of Properties from Wentworth to Bourke on Darling River.

Argus (Melbourne), 10 Jul 1868

From the Riverine Herald, July 8.

The following distances on the Darling River have been obtained from a reliable source.

From Wentworth to Wimba (sic) the distances by water are given.

From Wimba to Bourke we are enabled at present only to give the distances by land from one

known point to another.

Generally speaking, on all our rivers the distance overland may be multiplied by three to obtain

a close approximation to the distance by water ; but the Darling in its upper course is generally


very straight, and it will be necessary only to double the distance by land in order to ascertain

that by water :-

1874 Squatting Rent Rises in the Darling District.

Squatting Rents.

The Pastoral Times furnishes us some details of the squatting rentals fixed for the present year by the

appraisers in the Darling district that will be of interest to many of our readers.

Appraisement Court - 15th and 16th JULY.

Darling District.

The first batch of runs for re-appraisement this year were disposed of at Wentworth on the 15th and

16th July.

Appraisers - Mr. Commissioner Lockhart and Mr. Holding, Mr. Fartiere, umpire.

On the opening of the court Mr. Lockhart stated that doubtless it was well-known that the Government

had issued a circular calling the attention of all appraisers for the Crown to the fact that squatting

property had enhanced, to a very large extent in value, and that existing rents on many runs were

not at all in keeping with that increase, and intimating that a corresponding advance was expected

on all the rents about to be determined. He pointed out that when bad seasons, bad markets, and

other disadvantages had been advanced in the settler's favour as a reason for a reduction on rents fixed

years ago , those arguments had been received as worthy of consideration, and a large reduction was

submitted to. Now, however, the Crown considered that it should be met in an equitable manner, and

he trusted that the rents he was about to ask would be thought to be fair and reasonable, all things duly

considered, and that the lessees, through their appraiser, would show their appreciation of what they

had already received at the hands of the Government. Mr. Holding, for the lessees, replied that he was

quite prepared to endorse Mr. Lockhart's statement as to the way he, as lessees' appraiser, had been met

when times and seasons were bad, and he was pleased to say that he had been instructed, in several

instances, to meet the Government in a liberal spirit, and to show that the lessees were prepared to

admit the concessions made to them in time of need. Although he might not be prepared to receive the

figures asked for, yet he thought it would be seen before the Court closed that there was every

disposition to recognise the advance asked for by the Government. However, in every instance but one,

the rents were determined by the umpire.

The weather has been so varied lately that it is somewhat difficult to give any defined report- as it is at

one time cold, another wet, and at present we are having back those magnificent days, with cold

mornings and nights. The Darling is unfortunately falling here and at Brewarrina; late reports speak of

all the higher creeks and rivers in flood, so that in a few days it may all be our pleasant duty to again

have to chronicle a rise in the river here. Steamers of very light draught are still able to come up - the

Excelsior, to wit; and though no definite news is to hand about the Lady Daly, it is still possible she

may be past the Toorale rocks. Provisions are now at a reasonable price, though the butter still fetches

2s 6d per lb. - a price at this time of the year which is simply exorbitant.I t is an evident sign, however

that the market is ruled by the demand exceeding supply.

The shearing season is now fairly on its way, the Gunderbooka clip being by this time nearly finished,

and the Currawinya shed half finished. Mr Russell Barton commences today, and during the present

week the click of the shears will be heard in the Charlton and Toorale sheds. Mr Govan of Milroy will

not commence before the 25th inst. Nothing is doing in stock at present here.

The Dubbo Dispatch reports: The weather continues favourable for stock. There have been a few sharp frosts, and a considerable

quantity of rain has fallen over the district within the last week; but upon the whole the season is very

genial. Lambing proceeds satisfactorily, and the season's clip will in all probability be up to the

average, not-withstanding the distressing drought which preceeded winter. From whatever cause there

appears to be a great lack of carriers this season, and fears are entertained of a difficulty in getting the

wool transported from the stations to the sea board. There being no feed on the road between Dubbo

and Bathurst, there are very few bullock teams working,and the cost of fodder is enough to deter

owners of horse teams from taking to the road at all at present.

There are a few transactions in Stock noted:

J. C. Tibbits (for W. L. Murphy) reports a good demand for draught horses; also a demand for fat cattle

for local consumption and a sale of a small lot for D.M. Killop Esq., to Tuck and Nancarrow; while the

demand for store cattle continues very dull.

For store sheep there is some demand, particularly for ewes in lamb; of which class Mr Tibbits says he

has this week placed 1200 (J. Aarons owner) under offer.

The 700 Bayly rams from Havilah, mentioned in a former issue, crossed the bridge today in charge of

Mr Ball. They are yearlings, among them are some splendid fellows. They are travelling for a market,

and a few of them are likely to be placed here (J. C. Tibbits, for W. L. Murphy in conjunction with D.

I. Campbell and Co, agents).


John Barry is about to start from Busby Park with about 100 head of mixed cattle, for his run on

Cooper's Creek.

The Riverina Grazier reports: Shearing at present is the topic of paramount interest in the Riverina in a few weeks more the click of

shears will be heard on most stations.

In Sheep Movements we have to report

21st instant - 4300 fat wethers left Alma for Melbourne in charge of W.B. Kelly.

22nd - 3550 fat wethers started from Groongal, in charge of Mr L. Milne for Melbourne via Conargo.

24th - 4884 fat ewes and wethers left Tupra in charge of Mr Donald M. Callum for Victoria.

The Hon.William Campbell's fat sheep (about 4000) from Nelyambo for Melbourne were at Mossgiel

on the 24th inst. And a flock of 10,000 sheep a day behind them.

Mr Elliot is on the Hay Common with Mr Brooke's 9000 wethers, en route from Coonapaira to Tapio

on the Lower Darling.

The Crossings over the Hay bridge for this week are

July 21st - 4250 fat sheep, Mr W. J. Reid's from Yancannia, Mr S. Reid in charge.

22nd - 6000 fat sheep, Mr P. Tyson's, Mr Skene in charge.

27th - 2700 fat sheep, Mr D'Arcy's from his Oxley station.

On Saturday - 262 breeding cattle crossed for Mr J. T. Smith's Gundabooka station on the Darling,

among them was a red and white bull four months old, bred by McDougall, and three bulls bred by Mr

Lister from imported stock.

Wilkinson, Hann Minchin and Co have sold 250 two tooth rams for Mr J. Weir of Widgiewato to

Messrs P.Davis and Co, Naradhun.

The Canning Creek station, at Darling Downs district, with stock, &c, has been sold for

8,100 pounds.

1878 Journey from Adelaide to Wilcannia by Hawson.


Mr. H. C. Hawson, J.P., formerly of Port Lincoln, but now resident in the Darling District, New South

Wales, sends us the following account of a journey made by him from Adelaide to Wilcannia:-

Having just made the journey by steamer and coach from Adelaide I send you my impressions of the

trip, and, as the most advantageous way of opening communication with the upper river districts is

now much occupying public attention in South Australia, my ideas as to the best way of establishing

such communications.

Waiting at Mount Pleasant I received notice to be at Mannum on Wednesday night, the 15th

May, as the steamer Queen would then call there on her way to Wentworth. I therefore left by

coach for Palmer on Wednesday about 7.20 p.m. I may here remark that the arrangement by which

the Palmer and Mannum coach remains several hours three and a half miles from Mount Pleasant

instead of coming up to that township and starting thence in time to meet the Adelaide and Mount

Pleasant coach is very inconvenient. In my own case had not one friend lent me a buggy and another a


horse I should have been obliged to hire a conveyance to take me to the Palmer coach stables, which

no doubt would have cost as much if not more than the fare to Palmer. But returning to my subject, as

mentioned above, I left for Palmer at 7.20 p.m. by the Palmer and Mannum conveyance. As it was

after dark I could see but little of the country on the road, and after an uncomfortable drive arrived at

Mannum at 11 p.m.

Having visited Mannum eight years previously I saw some slight improvement. Messrs. Stilling and

Co's stores, the inn, and one or two other buildings had been erected since my former visit. No doubt

the place might have advanced more had it not been for the uncertainty of how long it would remain a

port for receiving wool and dispatching stores for the upper rivers. There having recently been some

fine rains the country immediately adjoining Mannum was looking verdant, and the long reach of the

River Murray above Mannum with the low green hills on either side was looking very well. All day

Thursday was spent at Mannum waiting for the arrival of the steamer, which did not put in an

appearance until about 10 p.m., and having a quantity of flour to take on board from the mill at

Mannum remained for the night.

On the following day (Friday) steamed away for Wentworth at 10 a.m., the current not very

strong, steamer making about five miles per hour against the current. There were two ladies for a

passage to a station on the right bank of the river, who were landed about 5 p.m., and after a delay of

an hour or two we again started. The banks of the Murray show some pretty scenery in places up to

Blanchetown, after leaving which place it is very monotonous. Arrived at Blanchetown on Saturday,

and the master having transacted his business with Her Majesty's Customs there steamed away the

same afternoon, now fairly under way for Wentworth.

Unfortunately the steamer passed the terminus of the North-West Bend Railway during the night,

so that I can give no opinion as to the suitability or otherwise of the arrangements being made there

for the landing and shipping of goods. The opinion of the captain of the steamer was that the

wharf was being made far too high above the level of the river. The rise and fall of the Murray at

North-West Bend not being very much there is not the same necessity for raising the wharf much

above the ordinary level as there is at Echuca. I should have thought that three feet at most above the

highest flood would have been sufficient, but understand that it is considerably more than that.

The Queen might be called a moving store or shop, as she stopped at every station or other

inhabited place on the river banks, whence the residents, notably the fairer part of them, came on board

to make their purchases, and a considerable trade seemed to be done in drapery, boots and shoes,

&c.; also flour, tea, sugar and groceries. The remainder of the passage to Wentworth produced

nothing worthy of chronicle, until our arrival there on Friday night at 9 p.m., just one week and a

few hours after leaving Blanchetown. Here I must remark that the accommodation, table, and attention

on board the steamer Queen were all that could be desired, nor would I wish to be more comfortable in

a river steamer.

No doubt persons unacquainted with Wentworth reading in the paper of the number of steamers

sailing from South Australian ports and from Echuca would be under the impression that there are a

good wharf and sheds for wool and stores at the port. There is, however, nothing of the sort. There is

no provision whatever. Goods are landed on the river bank, which in flood times or during rain is a

mass of black mud of the consistency of glue with the slipperiness of grease. Having been at


Wentworth three years prior to my present visit I expected to have found a material improvement in

that town, but could perceive none, with the exception of one more shop or store put up by John

Egg, a very respectable Chinaman, who is also, I believe, the owner of one or two small steamers

trading up the Darling from Wentworth. I remained at Wentworth for the Saturday and Sunday. The

hotels there, at least the one where I stayed, is not particularly good at the prices charged. At half

the charges the accommodation would have been reasonable.

There is a very pretty little Episcopal Protestant Church, where I saw the clergyman change his

surplice for a black gown to preach in, which I have not witnessed now for several years. There was a

fair average congregation for a place the size of Wentworth. There is also a Roman Catholic Church,

with resident clergymen for both. There is a good public school. Saturday being a holiday I could not

see how it was conducted. I took the opportunity of visiting the garden and orangery of Mr. J. W.

Holding, situated about one mile above Wentworth, on the opposite bank of the river, and was very

much pleased with it, more especially with the oranges, which have grown wonderfully considering

the short time they have been planted; they were all loaded with the finest fruit of the best varieties.

Mr. Holding has several windmills to work pumps used to raise the water from the Darling for

irrigating his garden and orangery. He informed me that last summer was a bad one for his crop of

grapes, a great number having been scorched by the extreme and peculiar heat. Any one who doubts

what irrigation can do in a dry and arid country like the Darling would do well to pay Mr. Holding's

garden a visit if passing through Wentworth.

I left Wentworth by coach on Monday morning. The country passed through was looking very well

about 9 a.m. Came to Tapio Station, the property of Mr. Brooks, at which place the cook brought

out to the coach tea and cakes or biscuits for all passengers. As this is quite an exceptional kindness to

passengers, I think it ought to be known. I have travelled by coach over a considerable part of

Australia, but have not met with this custom anywhere else. From Wentworth to Pooncarie the

country is looking well, with plenty of feed everywhere. The inn there is clean and comfortable and

the prices are reasonable.

Started from Pooncarie at 5 o'clock next morning. The team of horses at first showed a considerable

indisposition to leave Pooncarie, but after a little coaxing got away. From there to Menindie the

country is of much the same character as up to this place, and is looking very fresh and green -

everywhere abundance of feed. On arrival at Menindie the river had again to be crossed. The

approaches to the punt would seem to be very difficult, as all the passengers had to leave the coach,

which was lowered down the steep banks of the river with ropes onto the punt. Most of the luggage

was then taken out, or the horses could not have drawn the coach up the opposite bank. The passengers

walked to the hotel, where they remained for the night, and were comfortably entertained at moderate

charges.

From Menindie were underway at 5 a.m., and had come ten miles before daylight, country passed

through looking much the same as that traversed yesterday, but lower, and no doubt difficult to travel

in flood-time. It is intersected by numerous creeks filled by flood water from the Darling, but at

present dry. It appears to be little if anything above the level of the Darling in an ordinary flood. Up

the road the feed became less luxuriant, showing evidently that less rain had fallen towards Wilcannia.

I noticed several mobs of Weinteriga ewes and lambs while passing through that run, and should


conclude that that station has had a more than average lambing. Both ewes and lambs were in fine

condition, and most of the lambs much larger than I expected to see so soon in the season.

The coach arrived in Wilcannia at 8 on Wednesday evening. I was, of course, very glad to leave it,

and hoped, if I attained nothing else, to get a good night's rest after passing two nights with very little;

but in this it seems I reckoned without my host. A cricket match had been played the same day, and

races were to take place on the morrow, so that my first night in Wilcannia was the worst night since

leaving Wentworth. The house was not quiet until 4 next morning. Wilcannia is on the right bank of

the Darling River, and is very well placed for communicating with the surrounding country. It is built

on a sandhill quite out of reach of the highest floods. At this season the climate is most delightful, but

in summer must be, as our American cousins say, "a caution of snakes" for heat. It has several stores,

a newspaper, some public-houses, a public school, but no place of worship of any denomination,

nor any resident clergyman. There is a resident Police Magistrate, and a Court-house and lock-up,

together with a detachment of New South Wales mounted police.

Before concluding this letter I wish to say a few words about the vexed question of which would be

the most advantageous route for South Australia to communicate with the Upper Darling

district. Most of the stations about and above Wilcannia are owned by residents of or have business

relations with Melbourne, and naturally wish to facilitate intercourse with Victoria; but the interests of

New South Wales, to which the district belongs, and of South Australia, to which two colonies the

trade of the district would most naturally gravitate if proper facilities were provided, are opposed to

this. The question naturally arises what is the best plan to adopt by which this trade can be secured. On

the part of New South Wales I should consider that to bring the western railway system to the head of

the navigation of the Darling and lock that river as far as Wentworth so that navigation would be

always or almost always open would commend itself to the Government of that colony. But as far as

South Australia is concerned in the matter, I am satisfied that to carry on the North-East railway,

which now terminates at Hallett, and continue it through the Paratoo and Ontalpa Runs to Mount

Gipps, in New South Wales, would be the best thing to do. There are few engineering difficulties to be

encountered in making this railway, and to attain a speed of 12 miles an hour, which should meet all

the requirements, it ought not to cost more than from £3,000 to £3,500 per mile. It would secure the

whole of the trade of the north-west portion of New South Wales and the south-west portion of

Queensland.

And as the first step in this direction I would most strongly recommend to the South Australian

Government and Post Office Department to immediately organize a through mail from Adelaide by

way of Mount Gipps direct to Wilcannia, by which route mails and passengers could reach Wilcannia

in three days. No doubt there would be some difficulty in carrying out such a contract on the part of

the coaching contractor who undertook it, but it would only be a question of money. Chaff and horse-

feed can be bought up the north-east road very much cheaper than by river road when the navigation is

stopped, nor is the carriage of goods to Mount Gipps in ordinary seasons as much as the freight

charged by steamers on the river.

As Wilcannia is the depot for the country on the Wanyo and Paroo, and also for the south-western part

of Queensland, the greater part of which is at present either totally unoccupied or very partially

stocked, a certain communication independent of droughts such as I have suggested above, would tend

greatly to induce owners of that country to at once commence to improve and stock, and would in a


short time divide the trade of the district between New South Wales and South Australia, to the partial

if not total exclusion of Victoria.

1878 Review of Labilliere's "Early History of Victoria" (includes Wentworth's Dr. Cotter).

[This 1878 review of Labilliere's "Early History of Victoria" is included here both because it outlines

exploration and includes a description of Dr Cotter's house in the original Port Phillip settlement; Dr

Cotter was later an early settler in Wentworth, NSW.]

Review of "Early History of Victoria."

By F. P. Labilliere; London, Sampson Low and Co.

Mr F. P. Labilliere is a native of Victoria, and a son of one of its early colonists. A member of the

English bar, and practising in the mother country, he continues to retain a warm affection for the land

of his birth, and has taken an active personal interest in every movement calculated to consolidate the

empire and to bring about its organic unity. Some years ago as we learn from his introduction to the

work before us he devoted himself to the collection of materials for the Early History of Victoria. He

applied to the Admiralty, and obtained permission to inspect tho log of the Lord Nelson, the vessel in

which Lieutenant Murray discovered Port Phillip Bay. The interesting character of this document

induced him to ask the Colonial Office for leave to examine its papers amounting to several

hundred volumes from 1788 downwards, preserved in the Record office. Here he found quite a mine

of information relating to this part of Australia, including the whole of the papers and correspondence

connected with the attempted formation of a settlement in Port Phillip by Colonel Collins in 1803-4,

and by Captains Wright and Wetherall at Western Port in 1826-7. "None of these papers," observes Mr

Labilliere, "seem ever to have been printed; and I know of no published account of these attempts to

colonise the territory of Victoria."

Collins, we may add, established his encampment not far from what is now Sorrento, where there is

no fresh water to be had, and reported in consequence, "I found Port Phillip wholly unfit for the

settlement." His correspondence with Lord Hobart who was then Secretary of State for the Colonies,

and with Governor King in Sydney, is given in the first volume of the book under notice; and it may

interest some of our readers to know that the first white native of Victoria was bom as far back as

1803, and that the first marriage celebrated here occurred in the same year.

It has been Mr. Labilliere's aim to narrate the history of the exploration and settlement of this colony in

the language of those who performed the work. He has, so to speak, effaced himself in order to give

practical effect to his own theory, namely that "history would be more accurate had those who made it


been allowed to state in their own way how they did so, instead of other people attempting to tell their

story better for them." This is no doubt true but the generality of readers are very apt to consent to

sacrifice a little accuracy for the sake of a brilliant narrative, and to condone the partialities and

prejudices of a Macaulay, for example, in consideration of the charm of his style, and the dramatic

power and picturesqueness of his descriptions of men and of events.

Nevertheless, we are grateful to Mr. Labilliere for having adopted the method he has done, because the

documents he quotes are of great interest and value; they aro inaccessible to the general reader; they

bring us face to face with the adventurous voyagers and explorers who wrote them; and they enable us

to see the country they explored with their eyes, as it were. Only 76 years have elapsed since the Heads

were first entered by an English vessel, and yet so many events have been crowded into the interval

that the incident seems to have receded back to a much earlier period. Indeed it is difficult to believe

that there was a time in the century we are living in when the waters of the bay were an absolute

solitude, when no white sail had gleamed across their blue expanse, and when the very existence of

such a capacious harbour was unsuspected by navigators who had sailed along the southern shores of

this continent.

According to the log of Lieutenant Murray, Port Phillip Bay was discovered on the 5th January,

1802, and first entered by Mr Bowen, first mate of the Lady Nelson, on the first or second of the

following month. On his return he reported that a good channel had been found into what he described

as "a most noble sheet of water, larger even than Western Port, with many fine coves and entrances in

it, and the appearance and probability of rivers." Swans were so plentiful that the boat's crew lived on

them all the time they were away. "It would be unpardonable in me," adds Lieut. Murray, "not to give

this new harbour a strict overhaul." This he did on the 15th of February, and was delighted with the

aspect of its southern shore. "In someplaces," he says, "it falls nothing short in beauty and appearance

from Greenwich-park. Away to the eastward, at the distance of about 20 miles, the land is

mountainous. In particular there is one very high mountain, which in the meantime I named Arthur's

Seat, from its resemblance to a mountain of that name a few miles from Edinburgh." On the day

following the explorer took a walk inland, and compares the scenery to that of Blackheath and the

neighbouring park. "If," he remarks with a prudent reservation, "we set out of question the houses and

gardens of the latter. The hills and valleys rise and fall with inexpressible elegance."

Soon afterwards he fell in with some natives, who were very friendly, but on the day following, when

Bowen and the crew were on shore, they narrowly escaped being speared, and had to fire on their

assailants in self-defence. Other excursions inland confirmed Lieutenant Murray's favourable

impressions of the country; for he writes - "I found the soil invariably good, the ground almost clear,

and the ranges of trees as regular as they are in general in parks, with fine, strong, short grass under

foot." About two miles to the southward of Arthur's Seat he discovered a spring of water "as clear as

crystal, lying from the beach about ten or a dozen yards, and plenty of it to water the grand fleet of

England." As to swans, the number of them which ho saw almost exceeded belief. On the 9th of

March, 1802, he hoisted the Union Jack, discharged three vollies of small arms and artillery, took

possession of the port in the name of George the Third, and served out a double allowance of grog in

honour of the event. Two days afterwards the Lady Nelson sailed through the Heads on her return to

Port Jackson, which she reached on the 24th of that month.


The next to enter Port Phillip was Captain Flinders. This was on the 20th of April in the same

year. Landing near Arthur's Seat, he ascended that eminence, and to his surprise found the port so

extensive that even at this elevation, its boundary to the northward could not be distinguished. He

bestowed upon Station Peak and Indented Head the names which they still bear. The Yarra is marked

on his chart of the bay, but that was from information subsequently supplied to him by Mr Grimes,

the surveyor-general of New South Wales, by whom it appeals to have been discovered in 1803. "It is

an interesting fact," observes Mr Labilliere, "that one of the midshipmen of the lnvestigator

(Captain Flinder's vessel), when she visited Port Phillip, afterwards became the famous Sir John

Franklin."

Governor King, in Sydney, was strongly of opinion that the newly-discovered country should be

settled; and so sent Surveyor-General Grimes and Lieutenant Charles Robbins to walk round

the harbour. Although they discovered the Yarra, and traced it up past the site of the present city of

Melbourne, their report was wholly unfavourable. Then came Colonel Collins, acting under

instructions from the Colonial Office, and he "made up his mind almost immediately upon his arrival

at Port Phillip, if not before, that the settlement was to prove a failure." Writing Lord Hobart, he says:-

" Every day's experience convinces me that it cannot nor ever will be resorted to by speculative men."

To Governor King he sends word that the bay, "when viewed in a commercial light, is wholly unfit for

a colonial establishment." Colonel Collins did not shine in prophecy. It is but right, however, to quote

Mr Labilliere's remark in extenuation of the mistake he made:- "That the expeditions, both of Grimes

and of Collins, acquired their experience of Port Phillip during the driest periods of the year, may, to

some extent, account for their unfavourable description of the country." It led however, to the

formation of a settlement on the banks of the Derwent, and to the colonisation of the island now

known as Tasmania, while this colony thus escaped becoming a penal settlement.

Mr. Labilliere is of opinion that Grimes was the first white man who ever went up Corio Bay

and that Lieut. Tuckey was the second. The latter imagined that there was an inlet of the sea running

in from somewhere near Cape Bridgewater to where Geelong now stands. The Calcutta, man-of-war,

was the first large vessel that cast anchor in Hobson's Bay on the 21st of November, 1803. Tuckey,

who published an account of the expedition two years afterwards in London, was also impelled to try

his hand at prophecy, and in describing the abandonment of the attempt at settlement he wrote:- "The

kangaroo seems to remain undisturbed lord of the soil - a dominion which by the evacuation of Port

Phillip, he is likely to retain for ages." A Mrs. Hartley, however, who accompanied her husband, when

Colonel Collins made the experiment, was charmed with the country; and writing to her sister, says -

"My pen is not able to describe half the beauties of that delightful spot. We were four months there.

Much to my mortification, as well as loss, we were obliged to abandon the settlement through the

whim and caprice of the Lieutenant-Governor. ... Port Phillip is my favourite, and has my warmest

wishes. During the time we were there 1 never felt one ache or pain, and I parted from it with more

regret than I did my native land."

Governor King still adhered to his opinion that a settlement should be formed here: but his death

which occurred in 1808, frustrates the fulfilment of his purpose. In 1817 lieutenant Oxley, who had

been directed by Governor Macquarie to explore the country through which the Lachlan flows, with a

view to ascertain the direction of the inland watershed of Australia towards this part of it, did not

hesitate to make use of the following extraordinary language concerning it :- "We have

demonstrated beyond the shadow of a doubt that no river whatever could fall into the sea


between Cape Otway and Spencer's Gulf, at least none deriving their waters from the eastern

coast, and that the country south of the parallel of 34 deg., and west of the meridian of 147deg. 30min.

east, is uninhabitable and useless for all the purposes of civilised man."

Worthless as this country was thus reputed to be, we find a Mr. T. R. Williams, of Whilwell, near

Tenby, making a modest application to the Colonial Office for a free grant of the greater portion

of the territory of Port Phillip, "together with all lands, waters, islands, islets, reefs, sandbanks,

&c.," contained between 143deg. and 146deg. east longitude and 36deg. and 39deg. south

latitude. Mr. Williams must have been a man of very extended views, but the Secretary of State for the

Colonies was unsympathetic.

We next come to Hume and Hovell's overland expedition undertaken in 1825, to an account of

which, and to the dispute points which have arisen out of it, Mr. Labilliere devotes considerable space;

but he seems to be unacquainted with a recent publication on this subject, which was noticed in these

columns at the time of its appearance. His attempted settlement at Western Port, undertaken by

Captains Wetherall and Wright, chiefly with a view to anticipate the French, who were supposed to

meditate colonising that portion of Australia, and the abandonment of that attempt after a very short

trial, furnish the material for a chapter in which it is pretty clearly shown that Governor Darling, who

was then at the head of affairs in New South Wales, was not a colonising Governor, and that he had

made up his mind that the Western Port settlement should not succeed.

Sturt and Macleay's boat expedition down the Murray is described in due course, and the

quotations from the despatches of the first of these adventurous explorers are highly interesting.

Captain Sturt was a keen observer, deliberate and sagacious in his judgment, courageous without

rashness, and was capable of describing what he saw in terse and graphic language. Speaking of the

effects of a drought on animal as well as vegetable life, he says:- "The natives are wandering in the

desert and it is melancholy to reflect on the necessity which obliges them to drink the stinking and

loathsome water they do - birds sit gasping in the trees, and are quite thin - the wild dog prowls about

in the daytime unable to avoid us, and is as lean as he can be in a living state - while minor vegetation

is dead and the very trees are drooping." No one can read Sturt's published narrative of his exploit

without fully concurring with the remark of Mr Labilliere that "for interest, adventure, peril, and

difficulties manfully overcome, the expedition down the Murray could not be easily excelled,"

while the admirable tact and temper of the explorer cannot be too highly praised.

It was Major Mitchell, however, who first ascertained and made public the real character of this part

of the Australian continent, and who was, therefore, the real pioneer of pastoral settlement in the

interior of the country then known as Port Phillip, although when he reached Portland, after having

crossed the country from the Murray, he found that the Messrs. Henty had already formed a

whaling and farming establishment on the shores of Portland Bay. In concluding a letter to the

Colonial Secretary, which was covered by a despatch from Governor Bourke, dated the 15th of

November 1836, Major Mitchell says :- "Besides establishing the fact of the identity of the Upper and

Lower Darling, it has been in my power, under the protection of Providence, to explore the vast natural

resources of a region more extensive than Great Britain, equally rich in point of soil, and which now

lies ready for the plough in many parts, as if specially prepared by the Creator for the industrious

hands of Englishmen." He it was who gave it tho name of Australia Felix.


But at this very time, although Major Mitchell was unaware of the fact, the plough of John Pascoe

Fawkner had been at work on the banks of the Yarra, and the first harvest of wheat - a hundred

bushels - had been gathered in during the month of January 1836. The appearance of the place at the

end of the year 1835 is thus described in the earliest pamphlet published in the colony, written by Mr.

Arden the editor of the Port Phillip Gazette :-

" The settlement was composed of two weatherboarded huts, with brick chimneys, and eight or ten

sod erections, occupied by Dr. COTTER, the superintendent, and others, the servants of the

association. The sum total of the population could not have exceeded fifty." The same writer also

describes the aspect of Melbourne in 1838, when " it presented more the appearance of the

villages he had seen in India - a nucleus of huts embowered in the forest foliage, and peering at itself

in the river stream that laved the thresholds of its tenements - than any collection of buildings formed

by European hands. . . . A small square wooden building, with an old ship's bell suspended from a

most defamatory-looking gallows-like structure, fulfilled the duty of church or chapel to the various

religious denominations, whence, however, the solemn voice of prayer and praise, sounding over the

yet wild country, had an effect the most interesting and impressive." Mr. Arden likewise gives us a

pleasant glimpse of Melbourne in 1840:- "The principal part of the town, he says, "is laid out in a low

fertile valley, the rich soil of which, extending back with a gentle slope from the riverbanks, affords a

fine material for the numerous gardens which are attached to several houses of the place. The extreme

ends of the town are carried over two rising and picturesque eminences, and the whole situated, as

it were, on the verge of a beautiful park, the grounds and the scenery in the suburbs partaking in a

manner most pleasing to English recollections of all the quiet subdued interest of an old English

domain."

From this point Mr. Labilliere carries on the early history of the colony to the institution of responsible

government, and supplements his narrative by a chapter of personal reminiscences of an interesting

character. As a documentary record of the discovery, exploration, and settlement of this portion of

Australia, the book possesses an exceptional value, which will increase with the lapse of time; and we

agree with its author in the opinion he expresses that, "What this work does for Victoria might well be

done for the Australian colonies. It is time that all the documents bearing upon their history should be

printed." When they are so, we trust they will reach the hands of editors and compilers as patient,

painstaking, and zealous as Mr. Labilliere.

Murder of Dr. John A Giddings at copper mines, Nymagee.

In connection with the murder of Dr. Giddings at the copper mines, Nymagee, on Sunday last, further

particulars disclose the fact that the murderer, a Frenchman named Louis Reit, was paying a visit to the

house occupied by the woman Boustas. The doctor, who was in the habit of frequenting the house,

arrived and ordered Reit out, but the latter refused to go, and in the course of a scuffle which ensued

the doctor was stabbed in eight or nine different places, death ensuing within two hours. The police

arrested Reit, who asserts that he acted only in self-defence. The inquest on the body will be held in

due course.

1886 Moorara Station, Darling River.

"Down The Darling -The Charles Bayliss Photographs",

Kevin Jeffcoat & Sandra Byron 1991.


WOOLSHEDS, MOORARA STATION, DARLING RIVER.

1886

The station hands who lined the bank for this photograph would have had little premonition of the

violence that would erupt on this peaceful stretch of the Darling eight years later.

In 1894 the shearers were engaged in a bitter and drawn out dispute with the landholders , mainly over

rates of pay. With the shearers refusing to work, the landholders decided to import "black leg labour"

to break the strike. They engaged the Rodney, a powerful

steamer, to carry 45 men up the Darling from Eucha to Tolarno, a station near Moorara.

News of the attempt travelled like wildfire along the river and the striking shearers decided to take the

law into their own hands. They blockaded the river by mooring a large barge across the stream,

trapping the Rodney in a swamp near Moorara. Then, at 4 o'clock in the morning of August 26, 1894,

the shearers swarmed aboard the steamer, heaving off the passengers and crew and promptly put the

torch to the boat. She burnt to the waterline and sank and the bare bones of her ribs can still be seen to

this day poking sadly to the sky when the river is low.

At the time of Charles Bayliss' visit, Moorara and its adjoining leases covered more than 400 000

hectares and carried 46 000 sheep, yielding 80 tonnes of wool. Some idea of the amount of work

involved in operating a large station in this outback country can be gained by the fact that during the

two-month shearing season an extra 90 men were added to the 20 or so regular workers. In dry times

up to 40 extra men were employed to cut scrub for stock feed, while 80 to 100 rabbiters (partly

subsidised by the government ) worked around the property in a vain attempt to reduce the millions of

rabbits infesting the countryside.

1887 Valuable Mining Leases, [Broken Hill], the Minnie Moore and the Charlotte Greenway and the Pinnacles Tribute Company.

South Australian Register, 19 Jan 1887.

... In view of the intention of the Pinnacles Tribute Company to commence concentrating ore in a very

short time and the interest that has always attached to the excellent mine taken over by the tributers we

have pleasure in informing shareholders that the title of the Company is as perfect as can be.

We made enquiry on this point, and elicited an answer from the Directorate to the effect that the two

valuable leases, the Minnie Moore and the Charlotte Greenway, had been transferred originally

from Mr. Maiden (the lessee) to Mr. D. Greenway, by whom they were transferred to the Pinnacles

Company. Afterwards, when the Company had been rearranging matters, Mr. Maiden transferred

direct to the Company, so that there is a double transfer in favour of the Company, and Mr. Greenway

has not protected his interest in this matter pending payment of the amount (some £18,000) due to him

by the Pinnacles Company. That amount will be paid out of the 10 per cent, paid by the tributers. The

value locally attaching to the Pinnacles Mine has lately been corroborated by Mr. Inspector Slee, who

has pronounced it the second best mine on the field. Under its present efficient management, even

should fresh difficulties occur in the treatment of the ores, there is every reason for believing that

profitable dividends will flow from it in due time. ...

April 1899 Death of John OWEN.


A lad named Ferguson while searching for some lost horses on Saturday morning, discovered the

remains of John Owen, near Talywaka Creek, five miles from Menindie. Deceased was a pioneer

land-holder. He left home on Friday, taking enough food for two days, intending to take his sheep

back to the paddock of his Homestead Lease. Ferguson's attention was drawn by the sound of the dogs

barking as he approached the spot where the body was found. Deceased's two sheepdogs were lying

one on each side of the body.

"Glenariff" is a large station in the Western Division of N.S.W., about 50

miles to the south-east of Bourke.

In 1912, it belonged to Garret Byrnes; but by 1914 (when the diaries

commence) had passed to Allan Waugh.

One of the main series in the record group is the station diaries (32 vols),

1914-15, 1917-46 kept by a succession of managers.

Another important series is the letterbooks (l3 vols) 1939-49, in which are

copies of letters (reports) sent by the current manager to the owner.

A related series is drafts of letters sent (manager to owner), 1932-5.

Account books re "Glenariff" are disappointedly few in number, and patchy in

coverage:

STORE ACCOUNTS (1908-13);

miscellaneous MISCELLANEOUS ACCOUNTS (1912-13, 1927).

A wages and rations book (1919-25) and ledger and wages book (1928-39) make

up the balance of the accession.

1923 Death of Mr. D. W. F. Hatten, a Darling River Pioneer.

Bourke, Sunday.

At the local hospital Mr. Daniel William Fie[ld] Hatten, inspector of stock, aged 81, died practically

in harness. He was on active duty three days before his death. Of late years he had undergone

numerous operations.

He was a native of Smithfield, England, and came to Australia when four years old. Since 1856 he

had been one of the best known Darling River pioneers. For some years he was part-owner of Yanda

station, with Mr. E. B. Dickinson [sic - Dickens]. In 1880, with three other men, he formed the

Linesmans' River Company, in the Gulf of Carpentaria, but failed in the financial slump, and in

1896 he relinguished ownership of Yanda station. Shortly after he was appointed inspector of stock

at Bourke, and he held that position till his death.

He was noted for his generosity and liberal sentiments. He published many valuable papers on stock

questions, on which he was an acknowledged authority.

Two sons, two daughters, and numerous grandchildren survive him. His funeral was largely attended.

____________________________

1924 West Darling Pioneer, William Maiden, Reminiscent. (Includes his part in birth of Broken Hill Mines.)

Transcribed by Rusheen Craig, Feb 2012.

The name of Mr. William Maiden is one of the best known in the Barrier and West Darling districts,

and in this article he relates some of his experiences.

When six years of age Mr. Maiden came to South Australia with his parents in 1853 in the ship

Royal Charles. There were 13 or 14 migrant families on board, and his father was engaged by Messrs.

Grant & Stokes, of Connatto, to saw timber for the homestead and woolshed at Spring Creek, near

Mount Remarkable, and subsequently by Messrs. Phillips Bros. at Kanyaka at similar work.

After about 18 months the family removed to North Adelaide. At that time Messrs. Younghusband

& Co. wanted several pair of sawyers to go up the Murray to cut timber 22 feet long and 12 inches

by 12 inches for a jetty. The Maiden family, and others, boarded the steamer Melbourne, of which Mr.

William Barber was skipper, at Port Elliott. From there they travelled to Goolwa on the tramway and

the Lady Augusta took them up the Murray to McBean's Pound, just below Blanchetown. The timber

was sent downstream on the Goolwa, Bunyip, and Lady Augusta. The contractors discovered that the

timber was too gummy for jetty purposes, and the sawyers were put off.


Mr. Maiden's father then obtained employment on North-West Bend Station, then owned by Messrs.

Levi and Campbell, and from 1854 to 1859 he worked on Murbko Station. "I can remember Mr.

Campbell (Mr. Levi's brother-in-law) dying while we were there," said Mr. Maiden on Friday. "A man

named Jarvis was his overseer. Mr. Beasley was Inspector of Police at Overland Corner, and the late

Sir Jenkin Coles was there also.

At the latter end of 1859 my father transferred to Mr. Scott's Para Station, 35 miles up the

Darling from Wentworth. Mr. Scott owned 75 miles frontage on each side of the Darling. The run

extended from Sturt's Billabong, on the west, up to Warrara, which was owned by a man named

Carstairs, who was popularly known as the 'Travelling Scotsman.' On the east side of the Darling Para

extended from Tapio, then owned by Dr. Fletcher, up to Tarcoola, J. & J. Phelps' station.

In 1861 we went to Kinchega, which was then a cattle run, and had not long been sold by the Hon.

John Baker. Before we left Para the explorers Burke and Wills came up from Balranald, and struck

the Darling 80 miles above Wentworth, at about Pooncarie. My mother went on the same boat up to

Billilla Station, and she saw Burke and Wills in Menindie. When Mr. Howitt went out to look for the

ill-fated explorers he passed through Para, and I saw him when he returned with King.

"At the latter end of 1861 we went to Menindie, and my father went up to Stephens Creek to cut

timber for the first well that was ever sunk on Kinchega. That was when I first saw the Barrier

range."

Long Overland Ride.

In 1867 Mr. Maiden, in company with a mate undertook a 1,700 mile ride on horseback from

Menindie to the Cape River diggings, near Charters Towers, in Queensland. "All I had in the

world was a pocket knife, two quart pots, and a basil on which to mix a bit of flour," he said. "We

worked at the diggings for about eight months, and then I got low fever and ague. I was ill for four or

five months, and the doctor ordered me away. Coming back we struck the Flinders at Grey

Brothers' station, where they were shaearing their first flock of between 5,000 and 6,000 sheep. We

worked there for a bit, and then came down to Lammermoor Station, owned by Bob and William

Christison, who had just come out there. They also were shearing their first mob of sheep. My mate

stayed there, and in 1868 I travelled all the way from Lammermoor to Menindie by myself.

Then I undertook contracting at Menindie. Paddy Green, who built the first store in the town,

asked me what I was going to do. He was a good friend to me, and I replied, 'Suppose the same as I

always have been doing.' He then offered to give me a start in a hotel there. That was in 1873. I

took it, and have owned a publichouse ever since. There used to be three or four in Menindie, and I

had them all at different times. At the present time my son has one. What do you think of this? I have

been interested in hotels in Menindie sinec the latter end of 1873, and I have never drunk a glass of

liquor nor smoked a pipe, cigar, or cigarette in my life, and I am going on for 76 years of age.

I have not worked for a master for more than 50 years. I drove bullocks on the Darling when I was a

boy 14 years of age for 15 shillings a week. I only had a blackboy with me, and worked from daylight

to dark, and often seven days a week. I can remember the Paroo in the sixties. Nearly all the country

was owned by the barmaids of Melbourne, and they were facetiously called the 'Barmaids'


Association.' Talking of Kinchega, the first sheep ever shorn there was in 1864. Prior to that it was a

cattle run. Shearers were getting 17/6 a 100, and shed hands £1 to 25/- a week. Flour was £3 to £4 a

bag, sugar 8d. to 9d. lb., tea 3/- to 3/6 lb., and everything accordingly. They had no spuds and onions,

sheets and capoc mattresses, but only a few leaves. Everybody was satisfied and everything went off

smoothly.

Respected by Everybody..

When Mr. and Mrs. Maiden left Menindie in 1918 to come to dwell in Adelaide the local residents

presented them with a magnificent illuminated address. "We take the opportunity on your departure

from Menindie," it read, " to assure you of the high esteem in which you are held by the people of this

district. As pioneers in the western district you have been associated with its growth and development,

and your ready assistance has always been freely given in all efforts for the advancement of our

community. Your kind help and sympathy were always forthcoming when misfortune or trouble

occurred in our midst, and thus you have endeared yourselves to all. We hope that you will live long in

health and happiness to enjoy the peaceful rest you have so well earned." This address was signed on

behalf of the residents of the district by Jane Power, D. Tomlinson, H. Williams, W. H. Scobie, Otto L.

Faust, Francis H. Klemm, S. W. Nicholls, L. E. Underdown, M. E. Owen, J. W. Warren, J. Beatty, M.

A. Hutchinson, E. Edwards, P. Robson, L. E. Bach, J. W. Cleary, and John Dunne.

Today Mr. and Mrs. Maiden are spending the peaceful twilight of life in their beautiful home at

Stuart road, Dulwich. A son, Dvr. W. R. Maiden, of the Australian Army Service Corps, made the

supreme sacrifice at the Great War, and in an heroic action at Villers Bretonneux on 17 July 1918,

from which he subsequently died, he gained the Military Medal.

Birth of Broken Hill Mines..

Mr. Maiden has a fund of reminiscences concerning the birth of the Broken Hill mining industry. So

far as he himself was concerned his enthusiasm was first fired after having chatted with Tom

Payne - the man who built the first hotel in Menindie. Payne knew Capt. Crawford and Capt. Sturt,

and was conversant with their prospecting expeditions.

Mr. Maiden's story is very interesting. "In 1864," he said, "we had the biggest flood ever known on the

Darling. A brother-in-law of mine, two mates, and myself went out prospecting for six weeks all

over the Barrier. We were looking for gold and copper, and had no idea of the presence of silver and

lead. There was plenty of copper stains, and good copper shows, but they all ran out.

In 1874 or 1875 two well sinkers - Cato and a mate - from Mundi Mundi were sent down the Barrier

to where Thackaringa now stands to sink a well. There was a roadside pub at Thackeringa kept

by John Stokie, and the men used to come there on Saturday nights. They told Stokie that they had

struck some heavy stuff, but they did not know what it was. They thought it was lead.

Stokie wrote to Paddy Green - who built the first store at Menindie - and told him. He had been

keeping a hotel at Menindie at the time, and Paddy came to me and showed me the letter, and said, "I

want you to come with me to where these people are sinking a well, because I believe they have got a

lot of lead."


We put two horses in a buggy and drove straight across the bush, and it took three or four days to get

there. Thus Paddy Green and myself were the first to peg out a mineral lease in the Barrier and it

was called "Six over seven".

Paddy procured two miners from Wallaroo or the Burra - one's name was Harry Slater - and he raised

25 tons of ore which was near the surface. With three of my teams Harry Lord and Johnny Lambert

carted the ore to Menindie. The river was down for a good long while, and at the first rise Paddy Green

sent these 25 tons to Elder, Smith, & Co., in Adelaide. I believe the father of the present secretary of

the firm (Mr. Horsley Chapman) was the agent to send the stuff home to England. The ship got into

some sort of trouble, and some of the ore was thrown overboard. Before the reports came back from

England poor Paddy Green died. His brother Dick was in Bourke and as the reports were so

favourable he came down and started the mine working at Thackaringa.

That brought the crowd there, and that is what kept everybody on the western side of Silverton from

prospecting. Umberumberka Mine was one of the first mines pegged out, and that was for copper. It

was really the start of all the population staying on the Barrier. All the mines were very rich, but not

very big.

They they (sic) applied for the Silverton Tramway to run from Cockburn to Silverton. They got the

land granted, and Charlie Chapple was the broker. He said to me, 'Look Will, I have reserved 500 of

these shares for you.' I said, 'Will the line go to Broken Hill?' He replied, 'No, it will never go to

Broken Hill; what is it going there for?' I remarked, 'There is a good deal bigger show there than here.'

Charlie said, 'It is no good; it is only fit for road metal.' I replied, 'Well, I will not take the 500 shares .

If it does go there I'll take 1,000 shares.'

I held the South Mine for a year or two, and sold half of it to Keats, Goodwin, and Jamieson, and

then I threw in two other claims, then it was floated for £100,000 in £1 shares. I remember that I was

keeping a hotel in Menindie at the time, and Mr. Jamieson called and left his horse there while he went

for a holiday to Sydney. He asked me what I was going to do with the Bonanza Mine - that was what

he called it. I told him he could have it for £1,200 and gave him a three months' option. When he

returned he said he could not do anything with it, and added, "Nobody down there will look at these

wild cat schemes.'" Mr. Maiden pegged out the Pinnacles Mine before the South, and gave it to a

man named Tom Nutt.

1927 Darling River Stories of William Maiden, old-timer of the Darling, who has lived at Menindie for 65 years.

Old-Time Romances.

Darling River Stories.

By F. M. C.

Among those who greeted the first Sydney train - the inspecting railway engineers' train - to cross the

Darling for Broken Hill was Mr. William Maiden, an old-timer of the Darling, who lives at

Menindie, and has lived there for 65 years. Some day it will seem worth somebody's while to

write the history of the Darling River pioneers - in fact, the history of the settlements of all those

western rivers; and Mr. Maiden is one of those whose lives are interwoven with that as yet unrecorded

story.

His parents brought him to Australia from England at the age of two. That was in the year 1851, and

soon afterwards Mr. Maiden's father, a carpenter, moved his family inland from the growing

community of the Adelaide plains.They were on the lower Darling when local people still talked of

Sturt's great expedition into Central Australia of 1844 as a current topic. That expedition moved up the

Murray to Lake Victoria, thence up the Darling to Laidley's Ponds, as Menindie was first called, and

then on by Stephen's Creek to the great black, broken-backed hill of the Barrier Ranges, from which

point one of the party had earlier reported that he had seen an inland sea. Mr. Maiden remembers

Burke and Wills passing through Pooncairie on the lower Darling in 1860 on their ill-fated

journey across the continent. In 1862 the Maidens settled at Menindie, or Kinchega, as it was also

called (the blacks' name for the place).

A Long Trek.

"We used to roam all over the country," said Mr. Maiden; "there was no settlement much beyond us in

those days. The stories of Sturt and Burke and Wills and other explorers fired us young fellows, I

suppose. Everybody, too was looking for gold.

In 1867 - I was 18 years old then - I went right up to the Gulf country myself with Simpson. Just

the two of us. We took a couple of pack-horses, and went to the Cape River diggings - Charters

Towers they called it afterwards. Our route was up the Darling to Tilpa, then through Nocoleche,

along the Paroo to Eulo; there we turned off and struck the Warrego above Cunnamulla, then on to

Charleville; turned off to the Barcoo, along that water to Tower Hill Creek, from that to the Flinders,

and followed the Flinders towards the Gulf, then through Grey Station to the Cape River. That was

1500 or 1600 miles from Menindie, and we did it in three months. I came back alone. It was a bad

season in '68, and I had to return through Bourke."

[Photo of Mr. William Maiden on Trove website]

Following the Water.

The old man smiled at the idea of any particular danger in such treks. "We were all pretty goos

bushmen," he said. "I remember as a boy driving the first team of bullocks along Burke and Wills'

track." He explained that you went about Australia in those days laying your own routes; you followed

water or the courses where the water ought to be. If the year was dry you had to be a bit careful, but so

long as there was water you could get food and you could find your way. "Nobody out there thought

about States or colonies then. Boundaries meant nothing. If you wanted to go from Menindie to


Melbourne you simply rode or drove a cart down the Darling till you got to the Murray, and then you

turned to the left up the Murray till you reached Swan Hill. If you wanted to go to Adelaide you turned

the other way from Wentworth down the Murray. All the country 10 or 12 miles beyond Menindie was

not occupied at all when I first came here.

"I remember Cadell. He opened the Darling River trade with his boats. He built a place opposite

Menindie Hotel as a store for his stuff when the low river held him up, and left it there till the river

came down again. That store afterwards became a post office, and later still a public house ... [as

written] I suppose I shall get used to seeing that brand-new railway bridge over the river there. On the

opposite side, where the bridge runs down, there used to be a stockyard where 500 or 600 beasts could

be handled. Then they built a hospital right on the very site of the cattleyard; 1867 the foundation-

stone was laid. It only ran for three years." Everything out here in the bush "runs" or ceases to "run."

Stations, too, of course, are "runs."

The Silver Rushes.

Mr. Maiden, like everybody else in those days, joined in the early rushes beyond the Barrier ridge. "I

first prospected about there in 1866," he said. "The first claim at Thackeringa was pegged out by

me and Paddy Green in 1875. He used to keep the store at Menindie. Charlie Chapple, the agent for

the Silverton Tramway Company, which was built to link up Silverton with the South Australian

railways, said to me one day; "I have kept you 500 shares." I did not take them. I remember telling

him: 'I'll take a thousand of them if you will run the line on to Broken Hill.' I pegged out the Pinnacle

mine, too, and sold that in 1884 to Fitzgerald. In 1884 I pegged out claims on the site of the South

Mine and the Zinc, and offered them to Jamieson for £900. I sold the two most southerly blocks

for £4500. I also pegged out on the site of the Central mine."

It was from the sheep men on the Menindie side that attention was first attracted to that great black

hill, which became the Silver City, and not inappropriately, therefore, Broken Hill still retains some

attachment to Menindie and the Darling River. Like the mineral riches here and elsewhere in those

early days, the good stories of this country are hidden away. They lie mostly untouched awaiting

the great romantic writers of Australia who will in due time appear.


My comment: As well as creating a powerful impression of the life faced by my Byrnes ancestors

when they were in the Wentworth / Menindie area from 1858, this article also means that my previous

statements about the Byrnes sharing Christmas with the Maiden family at Menindie in 1860 (based on

previous information that the Maidens were at Menindie at the time) cannot be correct. The Maidens

were at Pooncarie when the Burke and Wills expedition passed through. The exact time at which the

Byrnes and Maidens moved on to Menindie can now not be given with any certainty. All that I know is

that a very short time later our little Ellen Byrnes was burnt to death at Menindie.

1936 Development of the Wool Industry in South Australia.

[A Report for a South Australian paper but it also mentions people from the rest of Australia including

naturally Western New South Wales.]

Wealth from the Fine Fleeces.

An Adelaide wool sale ... It is a colorful scene, befitting an industry whose development in Australia

has been a romance, and one of the most important - perhaps the most important of all - steeping

stones to national status. It is only 140 years since John MacArthur brought the first Merinos to New

South Wales, and it still lacks a hundred years since sheep and cattle were first depastured on South

Australia's plains, yet in that brief span the pastoral industry has added almost incalculable millions to

our wealth. With its rise and well being is linked the political, industrial, and social history of nearly

all the States; in its expansion vast regions of the interior, which otherwise would have remained

beyond the limits of settlement, have been brought into profitable occupation; in its present well-being

is reflected the nation's return to prosperity. There is romance enough in that, but more in the pastoral

development of our own State - an engrossing narrative of failure bravely met and retribution

overcome.

They were diverse types, those who opened up the State to sheep and cattle. There was the merchant

typified by Sir Thomas Elder, and John Morphett, the scholar by George Charles Hawker, the

professional man by doctors Browne, the mercantile philanthropist by George Fife Angas, the country

gentleman by Joseph Gilbert, and the colonial pathfinder by Charles Hawdon and Charles Bonney.

Little in their training fitted them for pastoral pioneering, but however diverse their station and

vocation, all were animated by the same enterprise and sustained by the same will. They forsook

known comforts for the hazards of unknown regions, often hundreds of miles from their fellows, and

fought there to establish their fortunes. They wrote their names boldly across South Australian history,

leaving a stimulating record for those who follow after.

Some won princely reward. One, beginning as a shepherd, taking his wages in sheep and cattle,

grazing them on employer's pasture until he had enough to start out alone, achieved success after

success in bold ventures and amassed wealth calculated in hundreds of thousands of pounds. Another

began with two rams and ten ewes, and at the end of half a century handed flocks of 28,000 to his sons.

A third started with £3, and died worth as many hundreds and thousands of pounds. Others ventured

all they possessed, and after years of trial and privation, ended penniless.

The human factor was paramount, but there were others beyond the control of the bravest and wisest

which gave abundant success, or precipitated disastrous failure. In the north, water was scarce, and

periodically the land was wasted by drought. To natural hazards was added the hostility of natives,

who before they learned to understand the white man, or be understood in turn, met his invasion by

plunder, molestation and murder.

The courage which triumphed, and the failure which cast down, are seen in vignettes of the pastoral

pioneers - George Melrose and his man who almost perished from thirst when seeking a land of grass

and water beyond the Murray; George Anstey and Thomas Giles, who travelled their flocks from Para

to lower Yorke Peninsula over long waterless stages, and through scrub so thick that they had to wait


for the tide to fail to make their way along the beach; John and William Bowman, 13 and 11, who,

alone, brought from Tasmania on the Emma the flock on which the Bowman fortunes were founded;

Philip Levi, who, drought-smitten, crashed from almost millionaire riches; John McTaggart and his

heroic wife, who made their home at Wooltana, 140 miles from their nearest neighbour, and who

struggled through drought when the property labored under a debt of more than it was worth; Frank

Marchant's fight against the ghoulish crows of Arkaba; Frederick Hayward's struggle with the blacks

who murdered his shepherd in the precipitous gorge at Aroona; Charles Dutton and his four

companions who lost their lives in an heroic effort to drive stock from Port Lincoln round the head of

Spencer Gulf.

Today, in the closely settled parts of the State, at least woolgrowing is more a sedate business. The

once greta holdings, which because of their particular advantages which they offered, made the

supremacy of the Australian wool industry possible, have largely disappeared from the impact of close

settlement. Townships have appeared where once the only buildings were "Government House,"

"bachelors' hall," woolsheds and stables; rail and road dissect once vast runs, and wheat waves where

once immense flocks were shepherded. So the Moorak, of Dr. W. J. Browne, Glencoe of the Leakes,

Straun of the Robertsons, Mount Remarkable of J. H. Angas, Penton Vale of Anstey and Giles,

Pewsey Vale of John Gilbert, Anlaby of F. H. Dutton, and Yongala of Dan Cudmore, are but vestiges

of the baronial estates of fifty, sixty, and seventy years ago. The homesteads, many of them more like

the seats of English squires than the homes of pioneers in virgin country, have acquired historic

glamor. On them has settled a mellowness and peace which sits strangely on a youthful land. Some are

still the homes of the descendants of the founders of family fortunes who today have settled down to

the comfortable life of country gentleman, carrying on the traditions of their forebears in that their

most cherished possessions are flocks in which the blood which established famous types and

celebrated fleeces is perpetuated.

The disintegration of the famous runs was a blow to the industry but it has been weathered and in some

cases the subdivided areas carry as amny sheep to the acre as they had half a century ago for

enterprising mixed farmers, because of more intensive methods such as pasture improvement, are able

to carry more sheep to the acre than was possible under the old regime and the number in the State

today, nearly 7,000,000 is little less than the record of the eighties.

Attainment of such figures exceeded the wildest expectations of the fathers of the South Australian

Company when they saw their handful of sheep and cattle land on the beach at Holdfast Bay. A

disaster ... on a humorous side attended the enterprise. One of the tethered animals slipped into the

lagoon receiving such injuries that it had to be slaughtered. So beef figured on many a rough table at

the Bay that Christmas Day of 1835.

In its choice of types the company had the experience of John Macarthur as guide, and a shipment of

Saxony Merinos, originally intended for Tasmania, was secured and diverted. With these and others

bought in Tasmania the foundations were laid and in 1838 there were 28,000 sheep within the State,

most of them on the plains surrounding the capital. However, imported sheep from Van Dieman's Land

cost £2 or £3 a head, and the enterprise was ahzardous as John Barton Hack could show. On his first

venture he shipped 400 ewes from Launceston on the Isabella, but mortality was heavy, and on their

first night ashore the flock broke away, and most of them were lost. Undaunted, he ordered another

consignment, but the ship was wrecked off Cape Nelson, and 400 sheep and 16 cattle perished. In a


few months the Company lost 2,000 between Launceston and Port Adelaide. Osmond Gilles imported

5,000 in 1838, but in view of the risks at sea, it was decided to try overlanding from the Blue

Mountains or Port Philip Bay.

Joseph [Hawdon] and Charles Bonney proved its practicability, and in their journals we follow them

through the unknown heart of the Australian bush on a hazardous enterprise - through terrible days on

the parched western plains, seared by roaring fierce winds, where one of their men went blind from the

intensity of the heat; through a terrifying storm when bullocks were struck by lightning within a few

yards of the leader, stood stiff and dead for a few seconds before they fell; horses trembled with terror,

and the mob of 300 cattle stampeded - and finally to pages which show that the journey was not all

tribulation. Although conflict with the natives seemed imminent, it was always averted, and the

delights of the discovery of Lake Victoria and Lake Bonney, teaming with wild fowl, cheered the men

on their way. Coming down the Murray in fast stages, Hawdon and Bonney were guided by friendly

blacks, who once believed that the cattle were the white man's wives. They sighted Mount Barker in

less than three months and were greeted joyfully in Adelaide, for there was scarcely any meat in the

village, and kangaroo flesh was being sold at 1/- a lb.

Edward John Eyre, who set off from Port Philip a little after Hawdon and Bonney, spent three arduous

months before he found a way down the banks of the River Murray and arrived in Adelaide with his

party exhausted and his cattle emaciated.

Those who blazed the track were comparatively fortunate. Others who followed went through terrible

privations, and not a few perished. Evelyn Sturt almost died from thirst having come down the

Murrumbidgee with a party of 28 men and 5,000 sheep. Edward Spicer saved his life by killing sheep

for their blood when lost in the mallee in the middle of summer. To other dangers were added the

menace of treacherous tribes near the Rufus [near Lake Victoria in New South Wales], Inman was

wounded by a spear, and near Lake Bonney he and Field were overwhelmed by 300 natives, who

ambushed the drays and flocks in a narrow valley. The shepherds were wounded, one being carried

away, speared and left for dead, and the party was driven back to the river, leaving supplies and sheep

to the marauders who wontonly speared more than a thousand animals. Emboldened by the failure of

two punitive expeditions, the tribe set on two other parties, one of which lost four men whose bodies

were dreadfully mutilated.

In face of such perils, overlanding continued, and within the next two years John Finnis brought 400

cattle across, and not withstanding his first journey of anxiety, disgust and misery, Sturt, in company

with Hampden and Dutton, drove flocks of 6,500 and 6,000 and 12,000 from the western runs of

New South Wales. For a few months, stock glutted the market, and by 1842 there were several

hundred thousand sheep in the colony, the Company with 20,000 being the principal owner, although

G. A. Anstey and F. H. Dutton had more than 4,000 each, and there were seven more than 4,000.

The forties and fifties unfolded stirring chapters - the penetration of bushland, mountain and plain by

men seeking agistment for their flocks. Within two decades their runs spread from the sea in the south

to the sunken lakes of the north and far to the east and west. Every man who could scrape together a

few hundred pounds turned to sheep, for a flock of 500, two or three cows, a dozen pigs, a few fowls

and a ton of supplies were a passport to a fortune if the pioneer worked quietly for five or six years,

watching his riches grow. While the State was settled young Hampden, Dutton, John Finnis,


Charles Bonney, and J. B. Hack were settled near Mount Barker, George Alexander was at the

Para, and Giles on Yorke Peninsula. Charles Dutton pioneered Eyre Peninsula, the brothers Leake, the

Hentys, Evelyn Sturt, the Arthurs and [Adan? Adam?] Smith were established in the South-East, and

John Morphett was at Woods Point. The middle forties saw the McFarlanes trekking across the

Murray, to take up the lakes country.

It was the same in the north. Early years found John Bristow Hughes at Bundaleer, the Hawkers at

Bungaree, the Brownes at Canowie and Booborowie, the Chambers at Pekina, John Warren at Anna

Creek, and the Horrocks brothers at Penwortham. They were their own pathfinders, their own

surveyors, and their own builders. Sometimes, with natives their only companions, they wandered far

inland in search of grass and water, straining to the limit of endurance.

Even when they settled they faced danger. The financial crisis of the forties brought the price of sheep

tumbling from pounds to a few shillings. The value of wool tumbled correspondingly and boiling

down works were established to treat carcases for fat. In the south, where water was plentiful, there

was "scab" footrot and mysterious "coast disease." In the north and west there was drought and the

difficulty of stocking. To overcome it James Sinclair, with his wife and three children, drove their

1,800 sheep 450 miles from Nairne to Port Lincoln, where the location of water was uncertain, and lost

half the stock from disease.

In 1864-67 came a devasting drought. In the north no rain fell for two and a half years; waters which

had been thought to be permanent failed; vast regions were bare and the mortality of sheep and cattle

was heartbreaking. Many who had believed themselves rich lost all, even those who came through

were staggered. Then, when rain came at last, the surviving sheep were so weak from starvation that

thousands perished from cold. Such are some of the disasters. 837,000 sheep in one part of the north

reduced to 235,000, and 50,000 cattle to 23,000; survivors of a herd of 4,000 on a single run, owner

reduced to living on flour and the flesh of wild animals. At the beginning John Randall Philip shore

41,000 sheep at Kan[na]ka?. In the [following??] year 11,000 were lost from sheer starvation; in the

next 20,000, when the drought broke his flock numbered 10,000. Henry Strong Price paid £40,000 for

Wilpena, and had 34,000 sheep on it at the 1864 mustering. At the end of 1866 12,000 sheep and 5,000

lambs survived. He paid a fortune for Moolooloo and Wirrealpa, and when the drought struck them, a

desperate march was made for the safety of Gum Creek. The drivers delivered 98 emancipated frames,

all that remained of a huge flock. It was enough to break a Rothschild.

Besides the losses from the drought, the bottom dropped out of the market. Good ewes brought 4/- or

5/-. Famous holdings got 10d. a pound for their star lots. Wool sent hundreds of miles brought 3 1/2. or

4d.

Grim though it could be, the industry did not lack for relief. In favored regions the provident, or lucky,

might found a fortune in a decade and henceforth play the part of landed gentry. They hunted, raced

their own horses - picnic meetings in the shearing season were a highlight of country life - and

entertained lavishly - judges, governors, and even Princes were guests at their table, and no traveller

was turned away. At Leake's Frontier House, the station hands gathered on the terrace every Queen's

Birthday, sang a verse of the National Anthem, toasted Her Majesty in grog and fired a salute with a

swivel gun salvaged from a wreck at Guichen Bay. A white flag was run to the masthead and a gun


fired when the first sheep was shorn; the annual ball was a magnet for station folk for a hundred miles

round.

So, with stout hearts at the wheel, the industry survived the crisis, although the seventies found old

properties in new hands. There were other changes. Shepherding of flocks against natives and wild

dogs yielded to enclosures by fencing, and huge sums were spent on water. Sir Thomas Elder and

Messrs. R. Barr Smith and Peter Waite were exemplars of the new order of immense aggregation of

holdings and huge flocks and herds. Elder, working in the north with an optimism sublimated by a

grand sweep of imagination, took terrific risks; reaped princely rewards. Paratoo was without surface

water, so tens of thousands were spent on dams and artesian bores. Transport was difficult so he

imported camels and opened a new era for the interior. Holdings became principalities - 900 square

miles at Beltana, 3,000 at Umberatana, Mount Lyndhurst and Blanchewater. Peter Waite, visioning the

possibility of paddocking, imported 260 tons of wire in two years. He took over Beltana and

Murnpeowie practically unimproved in 1869, and spent £214,000 on fencing, water and mills.

Carrying capacity soared. There were 264,000 sheep on Paratoo in 1874, and the Beltana properties

once carried 363,000. Fowler's Bay, Robert Barr Smith's initial venture, embraced 3,500 square

miles in 1885, and shore 120,000 sheep for 1,815 sales. Ned's Corner of 1,400 miles and

maximum stocking of 80,000 sheep. Mount Murchison and Momba which shore 346,000 sheep

for 5,900 bales, and the Milo and Welford Downs Company, which took 6,200 bales from 500,000

sheep at Milo in 1891, were others of his interests. Yet even such giagantic enterprises were

dwarfed by the Kidman scope.

MacArthur and Angus chose well when they selected the Merino. A hundred years on, Australia is still

the prominent producer of Merinos, their fleece far removed form the hair-like coat of the Bengal

sheep of the First Fleet. Climatic and geographic factors underlie variations in its type, fine in the

South-East, medium to strong in the rest of the State, the typical animal the large framed robust one of

the north. Quantity has advanced with quality. Sixty years ago the clip was four or five pounds a

sheep; today the average for a flock often exceeds 12 pouds, while stud rams cut 40.

Behind such results is the fascinating work of stud breeders, often three generations in unbroken

sequence, who have devoted their talents and years to perfecting types. The Company's first

importations included Saxon rams for which 50 guineas were paid. Gillies, J. H. Angas, C. B. Fisher,

F. H. Dutton, G. C. Hawker and the brothers Murray followed the same path. The famous Australian

flock at Camden House, New South Wales, descended from George lll rams was drawn on, and

expensive importations were made from the celebrated Steiger, Negrette and Rambouillet studs of

Germany and France. The Hawker ideal at Bungaree was a large-framed, plain-bodied, heavily-

covered sheep; the Murray one at Mount Crawford a bold, lustrous profitable wool from strong sheep.

They reached the pinnacles of championships in all States and reputation abroad, and sold sires across

the seas. C. G. Fisher and Dr. W. J. Browne did the same for the Lincolns. Subsequent years saw the

diffusion of celebrated blood throughout the State, and the development of special characteristics by a

second generation of flockmasters. Today State studs are famous throughout the southern hemisphere,

and fabulous sums are obtained for a South Australian ram. A year later there was a sale at £4,305.

So much for the flocks. A word for the fleeces. Australia's achievement can be summarised in facts -

an annual clip of more than 3,000,000 bales, representing nearly a quarter of the total


production of the world, and half its output of Merino wool; £38,526,000 from last season's auctions.

South Australia's share last season was 263,300 bales and £4,151,000.

Engrossing developments underlie such figures - the transistion from the first rude shearing as flocks

were shepherded from well to well to the bustle of the big shed replete with motors and machines, with

20 or 30 men on board, and the ringer reeling off his 250 or 300 a day; from the wild days when

shearers rode with their swags from shed to shed, and celebrated the cutting off with a wild orgy of

breaking down cheques at wayside shanties; from the laborious camel transport of wool from outback

runs at £6 or £7 a ton to the efficiency of carriage by rail or motor.

As great changes have been wrought in the preparation of the clip. In the beginning all the wool was

bundled together, but today Australia is unsurpassed in the classing and general preparation of its

fleece. All big sheds have experts to ensure the attractive presentation of their wool on store floors in

correct grades. For the benefit of small clips, there are facilities in brokers' stores for reclassing mixed

lines, so that the wool is sold in much larger lots. Inter-lotting is another feature of recent introduction.

It consists of bracketing of odd bales of the same class of fleece, and thus allowing it to be sold in the

main salesroom instead of in star lots which often bring lower prices.

There has been a change too in the venue of the wool sales. At the outset all our clip was sent to

London. John Hallet and Captain Duff, making the first shipment of four bales in 1837, were just in

time to beat Osmond Gillies for whom Mr. C. C. Dutton had prepared 12 bags of fine Merino which, it

was reckoned, would bring 1s. 8d. lb in London. However the vessel on which it was to be shipped had

a full cargo of oil and whalebone and the wool clip had to wait. Next year there was a clip of 800 bales

which filled two ships "of considerable burden." Five years after the proclamation South Australia's

wool was worth £35,000, her most important export. At first it was handicapped in the London market

by a slight discoloration attributable to washing in mineralised water, so a canny grower shipped his by

way of Sydney. Appearing in the market with a New South Wales mark, it brought top prices.

In 1844 wool sales were inaugurated in Australia, and since 1907 South Australia has had its own

auctions. An average of 270,000 bales is sold at the eight auctions listed for the Adelaide season.

Instead of being grouped within a few months they are now spread over the year beginning in

September and ending in June so that a continuous supply goes forward to the mills, and the buyers

financial arrangements are greatly assisted. And as a final symbol of progress, five or six modern cargo

vessels attend on every sale, and race with the fleece from Port Adelaide to the wool centres of Great

Britain and the Continent.

The oldest living representative of the pioneers of the Darling of the 'sixties is probably Mr. William

Camper, J.P., the writer's neighbour, now residing in the suburb of Beecroft, between Sydney and

Parramatta. He is also the oldest officer living who belonged to the first staff of the New South

Wales Electric Telegraph Department when it was inaugurated in 1857, and when the first line from

Sydney to Liverpool was opened in January 1858.

Mr. Camper was born in London on 2 March 1845, the son of Henry and Eliza Camper, and arrived

with his parents in New South Wales in the ship Isabella Harcus in 1853. He is, therefore, within a few

weeks of his 92nd birthday.

After his family made their home in Sydney he attended school at Mr. Keen's establishment where

the present Prince Alfred Park now is, but was then known as "Cleveland Paddocks," Redfern.

Among his schoolfellows was the late Archdeacon Boyce, afterwards for so long known as a social

reformer and rector of St. Paul's Anglican parish, Redfern.

Paid 2/6 a Week. On leaving school, William Camper on 8 December 1858, joined the railway service as a

probationer at 2/6 a week, under Captain Martindale, R.N., who then held the dual position of

Commissioner for Railways and Superintendent of Telegraphs, with Mr. E. C. Cracknell as assistant

superintendent, both departments being in their infancy at that period.

The only telegraph line operating was the short signal section connecting South Head signal station

with the Sydney exchange and Redfern Railway station. The southern railway had been built only as

far as Liverpool and Campbelltown, 22 and 34 miles respectively from the capital.

His first appointment in the Telegraph Department was to Redfern in 1859 to gain knowledge of

telegraphy, and later when the railway reached Campbelltown he was placed there as junior operator in

charge. After serving for some time at Campbelltown he was sent to open an office at Kiama on the

South Coast. In May 1862 he was transferred to Moama where he opened and organised another post

and telegraph office, remianing in charge there until March 1867, when he accompanied the

assistant superintendent, Mr. Cracknell, to Wentworth to establish a border repeating office

linking up with the South Australian, Victorian and New South Wales lines. Wentworth was then

the only town of any size or consequence on the Darling from the Murray junction to Bourke and there

were no telegraph lines north of it.

"Village of Perry"

Menindee consisted of a few tenements, with a police constable, and a postmaster, who was also

the hotelkeeper and storekeeper. It had a horse mail to Wentworth. The postal directories and land

office surveys of 1866 refers to Menindee as the "Village of Perry," probably because George M.

and A. Perry held a pastoral lease near it.


Wilcannia had a store and post office, with a few residents living at the foot of Mount Murchison; its

chief claims to importance being that it was the headquarters of the Crown Lands Commissioner of

the Albert Pastoral District, Mr. John Chadwick Moore, who fixed the site for a town in 1864. Until

1871 there was not a church of any denomination from Wentworth to Walgett, a distance of nearly

1200 miles.

With the completion of the last section of submarine cable between Europe and Australia, and its

connection with the overland telegraph at Darwin in October 1872, a large increase in the volume of

business resulted in the Wentworth office, as all press and overseas messages passed through it

to Sydney and Melbourne via Adelaide.

After 23 years service at Wentworth in August 1890 Mr. Camper was transferred to Hay. His

services to the town and district, and the high esteem he was held in by all classes of the community

was recognised by the citizens who presented him with a handsome illuminates address and a purse of

89 sovereigns, and his office staff gave him a valuable case of cut-glass decanters.

The address was presented by the mayor, and many names of old Darling pioneers appear among

the signatures. As they may be of interest to some of their descendants who still reside in the Barrier

and West Darling district and read "The Barrier Miner," they are reproduced here:

John Leary (mayor),

C. J. McMahon (alderman),

John Dunn (alderman),

H. J. Holding, J.P.,

Cudmore Bros. (Avoca),

Henry G. Price,

J. S. Ormond (Tapio),

J. Jack[a] (Mildura),

Mrs. M. A. Johns,

E. S. Davie,

William Bowring

and W. L. Higgins (hon. secretaries).

In 1875 Mr. Camper married Miss Scott, of Adelaide, who died several years since, leaving a family

of four sons and four daughters.


50 Year's Service. After serving another 16 years at Hay he was promoted in 1906 to Wagga, whence he retired in 1908,

from the service on a well-earned pension on completion of 50 years of strenuous and honorable duty.

Except for slightly impaired sight Mr. Camper is possessed of excellent health and vitality of mind and

body. His memory is clear, and hsi conversations on the early days of the Lower Darling and the

personalities whom he knew are most interesting to listen to.

Still standing over six feet he is wonderfully erect and active for his age. Always genial and cheerful,

he still retains that characteristic quality which gained him such universal regard among all classes

along the Darling 70 years ago, a readiness to assist any cause or any individual worthy of assistance.

I can speak from personal knowledge, for I resided at Wilcannia for over two years, 1880-1882, when

Mr. Camper was known as one of the most efficient and courteous public servants in the Riverina.

Other Memories.

My father was police magistrate of Menindee, visiting Mt. Gipps when George McCullock managed it,

1878-1879, and from 1880 to 1888 was police magistrate of Wilcannia, where he took his family there,

and I accompanied him. As he held 21 different Government offices, and the Sydney Government

would not provide him with clerical assistance he paid me out of his salary £78 a year and I lived at

home. Otherwise he would not have been able to cope with his duties. When Mt. Browne goldfields

was discovered in January 1881 the work at the Wilcannia office increased so much that a resident

warden was appointed and clerical assistance was granted the P.M. at Wilcannia.

I knew all the early men you read about, the late Sid Kidman, Ted Dickens (I was at his wedding),

Bowes Kelly, Resch, the brewer, Quins of Tarella, and a whole host of others.

Barrier Miner (Broken Hill), 8 Feb 1937.
