In September 1853, John Mudie, was employed as an Overseer on the property "Burrangandra" Maneroo.
At that time "Burrangandra" was leased by Dr James Binnie. Dr Binnie, according to the Government Gazette of 1848, leased the property which consisted of 4 square miles with a frontage on the Numeralia River and carried both sheep and cattle. James did not reside on the property. There were 189 cattle, 2400 sheep and 8 horses on the property.
(Source: Government Gazette: 30 September 1848)
On a map, published in "Discovering Monaro" by W. K. Handcock, "Burrangandra" was shown to be adjoining "Curry Flat."
Further evidence to support this was found on a Parish map of Nimmitabel where a creek named Moodie's Hut Creek was shown running from near the Monaro Highway into Bobundarra Creek. It was quite common in those days to name creeks and landmarks after the shepherds who worked in the vicinity.
Cooma Monaro Historical Society provided the following information regarding the property.
In 1848-49 Donald McPhee lodged a caveat against the lease held by James Binnie. McPhee at this time held a lease on 18 000 acres at Mila. In 1871 McDonald & Campbell had 2560 acres under the name "Burrangandra," on which they were running 3000 sheep. When we were endeavouring to establish the location of the property the locals referred to the McDonald land probably having been "Burrangandra," "The Town & Country Journal" on the 21 June 1890 listed a large number of runs in NSW which would cease to be Pastoral Leases. "Burrangandra" was among these.
WHO WAS DR JAMES BINNIE?
James Binnie was a Doctor whose family came from Crichton near Pathead, Scotland. He spent some years in NSW - the exact date of his arrival is not known but if the information on his son's marriage certificate is accurate then it was c1838. He returned to Scotland, unknown when, where he died, on the 24 January 1870 at Edinburgh.
Pathead is a small town situated near the border of the counties of East Lothian and Midlothian (the county in which Edinburgh is situated.)

James, was the son of James Binnie (Binney, Binny) and Isabel Chirnside who were married on the 14th October 1780 at Crichton, Midlothian, Scotland. James was christened on the 11 July 1796 at Crichton. Other children known to be born to James and Isabel were: Agnes Binny christened 28 October 1781 Crichton; married David Robertson 6 February 1807 at Cannongate, Edinburgh.

There were two other sons, Thomas and John who died in infancy.
Marriage Details:
James Binnie married Margaret Hills 17 December 1825, Parish of Crichton, county of Midlothian. There is a second entry regarding this marriage - 19 December 1825 at St Cuthbert's, Edinburgh. (Source:. International Genealogical Index).
Death Details:
1870District 685/2 St Giles, Edinburgh Death entry 64
James Binnie Surgeon Widower of Margaret Hill Died at 8pm 24 January at No. 10 West Lauriston Place, Edinburgh. Cause of death: Bronchitis for 1 week Parents: James Binnie, a Clerk in a colliery (deceased)
Agnes, maiden name Chirnside (deceased) Informant: William Robertson - nephew of the deceased - present
This William Robertson was probably the son of Agnes Robertson (James' sister.)
When visiting Scotland in 1986 we drove through Pathead. Whilst looking for a graveyard we came across a sign - "Old Kirk, Crichton" - which led us to the old church and graveyard. Fortunately it was not large and after a short search we came across the Binnie headstone. It was almost impossible to read, however with the assistance of some stone rubbing we were able to clearly decipher the writing.

Eileen Wallace, grand-daughter of Johanna Biilman, remembered her grandmother telling her that the family came out to work on a property that belonged to Johanna'a mother's uncle. Johanna's mother was Elizabeth or Betsy Mudie nee Sime. No link has been found between the families in Scotland at this point in time.
John Mudie, the first of the Mudie family to arrive in NSW was a convict who arrived in 1835 and received his Ticket of Leave in 1840 and Certificate of Freedom in July 1842 - this does indicate he may have been free when he was employed by Dr Binnie.

Some of the dairymen have their own conveyances for running their butter and cheese to market. One of the most important parts of the district is that known as Burragate. It is from eight to ten miles west of Towamba.

Obituary Source: Magnet Newspaper October 4 1930
"The death occurred at his home "Dunblane" Burragate on Monday the 29th September, when Mr David Binnie, J.P. one of the district's most highly respected and esteemed residents, at the age of 76 years. The late Mr Binnie was the eldest of a family of eleven of the late Mr and Mrs Alexander Binnie and was born at Spring Flat, Monaro. He came, with his parents to live at Burragate when he was ten years of age and resided there until the time of his death. In those days, the days of the wild blacks, he early displayed the hereditary spirit of the pioneers, adapting himself to his environment and gaining practical knowledge and experience that materially contributed to his success in later life. As a mere lad he was fearless and adventurous and before the country was opened up by road he used to ride alone from Burragate up what was called the Old Mountain Road but was really an apology for a bridle track, to Spring Flat. He also used to go frequently with his uncle, Mr D.J. Bell, with mobs of horses for sale. He was a great horseman and a keen judge of horses and cattle and was frequently called upon to officiate as judge at various shows in both Victoria and New South Wales. He devoted considerable time and money to the breeding of Jersey cattle and the Dave Binnie breed of Jersey became favourably known far and wide. A man of integrity, hospitable, neighbourly and commanding general respect, Mr David Binnie will be greatly missed in the district of which he was almost a lifelong resident. Forty- nine years ago, he married Miss Eliza Jane Keys, second daughter of the late Mr & Mrs John Keys of Candelo. He is survived by his widow and son Mr D.H. Binnie, Burragate, a daughter Mrs J.T. Mitchell, Pericoe and two grand-children, Gwen and Ella Mitchell."

David married Eliza Jane Keys, daughter of John Keys and Eliza Cochrane, in 1884 in Bega, NSW.39 Eliza was born in 1861 in Wollongong, NSW,40 died on May 25, 1936 in Burragate near Eden, NSW41 at age 75, and was buried in May 1936 in Eden, NSW.
Notes: Obituary: Mrs E.J. Binnie Magnet May 30 1936
District wide regret was occasioned by the news that Mrs Eliza Jane Binnie widow of the late Mr David Binnie had, after an illness of considerable duration passed away at her home "Dunblane", burragate on the morning of Monday last. For some time she had been under medical treatment and in the hope of enhancing her chances of recovery, she spent one week in Candelo Private Hospital and five weeks in Bega District Hospital but the malady proved to be beyond remedial skill and she returned home last Saturday and at 2:15 am on Monday, passed peacefully away. Prior to her marriage, she was a Miss Keys, a member of the well known district family of that name. She was married at Candelo to Mr David Binnie in 1887 by the Church of England Minister, Reverend Mr Newth. Children were David Harold and Ethel (Mrs John Mitchell) and grand-children are Gwen and Ella Mitchell, all of whom survive her. Mrs Binnie's husband died at the family home "Dunblane" in 1930. Brothers and sisters of the deceased lady were seven boys and two girls, namely, Margaret Lilly and Mary and boys, William, David, James, Joseph, John, George and Tom. The brothers have passed away but the sisters are living, Mary (Mrs J.T. Collins, Queensland) and Margaret Lilly (Mrs Morton, Sydney.) Mrs binnie's father and mother were both born in Ireland, they were married there and came to Australia ninety odd years ago. At first they stayed at Wollongon,g went to Pambula where most of the family were born and their last home was at Candelo. The father and the mother of the deceased lady came in a sailing boat to Australia and the voyage occupied six months. Mrs Binnie's death has caused a very keenly felt family bereavement and has created a deeply deplored gap in the life of the local community. On account of her neighbourly good qualities, Mrs Binnie was most highly esteemed. Her home "Dunblane" was noted for its hospitality which she and her husband dispensed with open-handed and open-hearted liberality. In the illness of others she was truly wonderful, she spared no effort to alleviate the sufferings of the sick and administer relief. There are few in the locality in which she lived who were not under a debt of gratitude to her for her kindly help to themselves or to relatives in times of need. Her goodness of heart was proverbial. She was well known as a judge in the food section of all District Shows in the Far South Coast and at Orbost and Cann River in Victoria. She was a great supporter of the Bush Nursing Association and took a leading part in the establishment of the Burragate branch and promoting its welfare. Internment took place in the cemetery at Eden on Tuesday morning when the remains were reverently laid to rest beside those of her deceased husband in the presence of a large gathering of town and country residents who had assembled to pay by theira farewell tribute to the memory of one who will be sadly missed by a very large circle of sorrowing relatives and sympathising friends.
