Notes: Hi Gregory,
I have a Waite Family Tree book, written by Neil Waite of Qld. (written 1996). In it, he states Mary ROBINSON m. John WAITE on 14 Apr 1812 at St. Matthew's, Windsor, N.S.W. He states he has a copy of the marriage cert. No. 1343, Vol: 3.
Here is some info, I don't know whether you have it or not, but this was also in the book, by Neil. If you wanted to know any info, I could look up entries in the book, as it has a fair bit of info. Info below, is what Neil has in his book, about Mary Robinson -

DEATH: Inscription on Waite Family Vault, Sutton Forest Cemetery:-

The information of Thomas Prentice, a free man, taken upon oath before Mr. Howe Esq. J.P. states as follows:-
"I reside in the dwelling of John Waite in said Dsitrict. That on Wednesday night the 29th day of March, about the hour of twelve of the clock I was alarmed by the cries of Mrs. Waite calling me by name on which I rose making my way towards her Bed Room. I was suddenly attacked in the passage leading to her Room by two men, one armed with a Bludgeon and the other with an axe. I received a blow in the back of the head by the man that had the bludgeon, that fell me to the ground he repeated his blows during three or four minutes at the same time calling to the other man to cut my head off with the axe a third man coming up desired those two others not to ill use the man. They then desired me to get up I requested then to let me remain where I was they insisted on me getting up accordingly I did and was surprised to find a man stand by me with a rusty bayonet in his hand who insisted to know where the other fellow was meaning John Robinson who followed me on the first alarm and on my being knocked down he ran for assistance. I told this robber that it was one of my sons about 12 years of age who ran away with fear. He insisted upon my calling him which I did but no one appeared. He then ordered me to follow him, about the space of 10 yards but being fatigued I sat down upon some ?stair. The man with the bayonet standing over me repeatedly threatened to run me through if I did not tell him who the man was that was out. I still asserted it was only my son upon which he desired me to get up and he marched me before him to the Mill House where two young men, Thomas & Jasper Wilmot were confined to their beds and a man standing outside of the door with a Pistol presented to the door and fastened it outside. While inside I heard a voice supposing to be one of those men demanding money from Mrs. Waite who slept in the adjoining room. She denies that she had. The same voice demanded if she had any tobacco or rum. She replied no, he said he was certain she had. I then heard a different voice saying I may be damned but I will have something and said he would not come there for nothing and in a severe tone demanded where her money was. She told him she had but one Guinea in the house and that was in the small Box within the larger Box and in a minute or two I heard him say I have got it he said to a man in the inside I may be damned if I have got half a mind to blow your brains out for saying there was no money at the same time I have found some. Sworn the above the 28th day of April 1820".

p.256. N 3.
"Thomas Wilmot being duly sworn and examined states - that on the night of 29th March last about 12 of the clock three men entered my bedroom being the Mill House adjoining John Waite's house, being all under one roof. I spoke to them when one struck me a violent blow on the face whilst I lay in bed with my brother. One of the three men said do not kill him but said lay still else I will blow your brains out, he had a pistol in his hand. They then all three went out leaving the man with the pistol in charge of us at the door who kept saying lay still or I will blow your heads off. I heard some of the robbers in Mrs. Waite's room and one of them said where is Mrs. Waite, pronouncing the word Mistress particularly distinct. After they had finished the robbery part of them went away saying to two whom they left, stop you there till we are gone which the two men did who were armed with a gun and pistol.
Sworn the above this 29th of Arpil 1820".
Signed: Thos (his X mark) Wilmot.
"Mrs. Mary Waite, having come before me states on her oath that on the night of the 29th March last about 12 o'clock I was awakened and heard the door open and a man's voice call Hallo and directly a noise like a blow given in the adjoining room where Thomas Wilmot and his brother slept this being the Mill House. I then called for mercy don't kill anyone. A man came up to the bedroom window outside and said Mrs. Waite I am not come to harm you or your children. I called my Father and said some man was killing Tom Wilmot. My Father opened the door and looked out, when a man outside said the old man you put your head ? in again else I will do your ???. My father sat down on his own bedside then one man came into my room instantly laid his hands upon the musket in the corner, as if he had well known where it was, and handed it out to another man, he then returned into the room but immediately went back and another came up he asked where the master of the house was and came to my bedside saying you are going away and you have got money in your chest. He then walked out and another came in with a pistol asking for rum and tobacco. Do you think I am going away without anything. He held the pistol up and asked for money. I told him I had only one Guinea. He then went to my box and took out the Guinea and a quantity of clothes, he then went with the clothes out of doors.
Sworn the above before me the 28th day of April 1820
Signed: Mary (her X mark) Waite.
The following is an extract from the Sydney Gazette 9th December 1820:-
"John Sullivan, Michael Tracey, George Spencer, Thomas Givney and Mary Givney were indicted for burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling house of John Waite. The 4 male prisoners were adjudged guilty, and remanded for sentence. Mary Givney was acquitted".
Hope that was of some interest to you. Have you got any copies of old B.D.M. certificate's at all, or old photos of the Waite family?
I have attached an article re Cumberoona, written in 1933. It refers to the Waite/Hore connections etc. and I have also attached a genealogy report re John Ho(a)re and Elizabeth Waite.
I will see what other info I can find for you and send it in further emails.

Shirley.

Notes: The following information was supplied by Bob Friederich [friederich@grapevine.net.au]

"George Augustus Robinson, on his journey into south-eastern Australia in 1844 as Chief Protector of Aborigines in the Port Phillip District, recorded in his journal the following about his meeting at Greenland, near Nimmitabel, with John & Martha Robinson and their three children John, Charles and Richard.

Wednesday 4 September 1844
........................From top of the mountain travelled over rocky ranges much higher than the summit of Nimitybel. Wooded large timber prevailing 60m, ash and black butter gums, view broken and rocky country ranges wooded between Nimitybell and Robinson station Kal.lite.bar.ton, granite rock. Few miles from Robinson crossed swampy and marshy flats with boys horses bogged cross Jumping Creek the Brogo River and Panebooker River rises in these mountains and a branch of the Murrumbidgee, snow has been known to fall two and three feet deep here and they have had the last two and three months deal of rain whereas at Biggah and other places there has been at best little very partial. Bob and Cockatoo claim this country but have not been here for one or two years. Ky.be.ang is name of Mr. Throsbye's place at "Nim". Cattle at Palman's old place smothered in snow. Comfortable accommodation at Mr. Robinson's, married, three children are Natives. .................... excellent accommodation at Robinsons and attention. Mrs. Robinson said Father Hastings sent for brother's servant girl to be godmother, and then he married her, refused several men who could not raise money, one gave a horse, he borrowed it, and never returned it. Jumping creek between Nimitybil, steep, and Robinson's, runs into Brogo.

Thursday, 5 September 1844

Strong wind north, fine day though. From Robinson's one mile came to Warren's station, had been seven years there, civil and married, gave horses feed of hay. Warren's station is called Kook.kook.er.muller. Warren said all the country in that high region is called Greenland. Who gave it that name? Robinson. Why? Because it is always cold and raining, and snow has been 2 feet deep and laid for weeks. Greenland therefore is very apt name".

Charles James Robinson aged 22 and Clara Stagg, 19 were married on May, 13th 1903. They went to live on his property "Stirling" a mixed farm about seven miles from Delegate, the nearest town. "Glencoe" owned by Grandfather Robinson, being their nearest neighbour. He lived there with three sons and two daughters . When Uncle Arthur married he went to Wagga to live and soon after, Benjamin left home to look for work. He kept in touch with the family for a while , but finally completely disappeared and was never heard of again.

When Grandfather died, the youngest son Dick, who was about sixteen, came to live with us for a while before going to work on a neighbouring station. Dad managed our place and Glencoe for quite a while but finally it was sold. Dick became a shearer, the two girls, May and Sarah who were both good seamstresses went to Sydney and worked at Farmers, and David Jones. They both became expert dressmakers and finally set up business in Randwick, catering especially for the racing fraternity. May married a soldier during the war and when he returned from overseas they bought Sterling from Dad. They lived there until the house and contents were completely destroyed by fire. A new house was built on the old site.

Wallace, I, Molly, Dick and May were born while we lived at Sterling. When Dick was born in 1909 mother was very ill. As soon as she was well enough to travel she went to Melbourne for a long holiday, staying with Grandma Stagg's family who lived there. Wal was already in Wagga with Uncle Arthur. I went to stay with Aunty Bet and Molly stayed with Grandfather and the girls. Dad camped out at the Wolvera mine which he partly owned and it was many months before we were all home together again.

Before Dad came home he made a trip to Wagga coming back with a mob of horses and a young Scottish groom named Jim to care for them. The most valuable horse was a Clydesdale stallion named Sir John Newton. They also brought Wal home at this time. Big Jack, as we called him, was a bad tempered brute and we soon learned to keep well away from his stable and yard. We loved Jim who taught us to ride and told us stories about Scotland. I remember once Big Jack got out of his yard, took one of the riding horses which as he galloped away caught his front shoe in a hind shoe and fell. Armed with the clothes prop Mother went over to protect the fallen horse. We ran backwards and forwards all day between the house and her. As it became dark we were sent back to get matches and a lantern and then told to stay home. We spent hours at the kitchen window, watching the little light across the paddock. The men came home at about ten o'clock and Jim soon had Big Jack back in his yard while Dad attended to the fallen horse.

Jim spent most of his time with the young horses, breaking them in and getting then ready to sell.

All this time there had been no school available. Wal had learned to read while he was in Wagga and Dad taught me at night but we were both well past school age. Several families got together and organized a subsidised school to be set up by the Victorian Government who provided a teacher. Parents provided the school building and accommodation . I started school on my eighth birthday, taking a cake to school and having a party. There were about twelve pupils and one teacher. Grandma Stagg lived about half way. We attended there for two years. When it was really cold we called half way at Grandma's where she gave us a dish of hot water to thaw our frozen hands. Wallace, Molly and I went to that school.

In 1914 Dad bought another property at Jincumbilly about sixty miles away and he and Jim moved down there and built fences and finally a temporary home for us to live in. We moved down in early 1915. This was a completely new area and with the exception of two farms, all were new settlers, several coming from Sydney. The land was completely flat with not a single tree in sight. Newcomers soon organized a post office and school but these were too far away to be of any use to us and once again we were without schooling until another subsidized one was arranged. This was held in a two roomed garden hut on a nearby farm. One room for classes and the other a lunch room and play room when it was wet. We had to cross the river to get to school and when it rained heavily we were ferried across by horse by the nearest neighbour. There were nine pupils and three families. Our first teacher was a keen horsewoman who stayed with us and spent her spare time trailing our horses, even riding in the local show. Jim, our groom had enlisted as soon as we were settled in. As next of kin we were later notified that he had been killed in action. Dad's uncle nick came to care for the horses, especially Big Jack. Uncle nick lived in Bombala. He was Grandma Robinson's brother, an old man with a Van Dyke beard. At first Dad worked at mixed farming again but when the railway lines were being built through Nimmetabel from Bombala be bought a butcher's license and supplied the workmen with meat and vegetables which grew well in our soil. Old Nick's son, young Nick lived with us at this time. He stayed until Wal was old enough to take over some of his chores. Wal hated all farm work, especially anything to do with horses.

Later on Dad decided to start a dairy farm. He made a trip down to Bega where he purchased a herd of jersey cows and drove them up the mountain and soon we were in business. The stable block became the dairy with a generator and a separator to separate the cream. Dad, me Wal and sometimes Molly, milked by hand. Wallace took the cream to Bibinluke Butter Factory twice a week , a seven mile drive by pony and sulky. He hated it. During this time Dad took time off for a trip to Sydney, taking Molly, Dick and me to the Royal Easter Show. We stayed with the aunts and had a lovely time. Some time later Wal had his turn, going down by himself and also staying with the aunts.

All the time we were at Jincumbilly we made occasional trips back to the old place, travelling by buggy and staying with the Johnson Family at Bendock They were always our very close friends. Years later when we lived in Sydney the two eldest boys, Walter and Bill, came to live with us while they worked to buy a house for their parents. Their father was a complete invalid by this time. When he was twenty two years old Walter went to live in America but bill remained a very good friend of the family all his life.

In 1917 Wallace and I sat for our Merit certificate and we both passed. I passed high enough to go on to Fort Street Girls High School but there was no way that Dad would let me go to Sydney alone so my schooling was finished at twelve.

In 1921 the local lads were starting to take an interest in our female population and dad decided it was time to move on. He went to Sydney for a short trip and on the advice of John Corbett, he purchased a timber cottage in Leichhardt . We sold the farm, the contents of the farm and the house by auction and landed in Sydney on Good Friday, 1922. Our new home was much too small for our large family but we hadn't been there long when the big house opposite came up for sale and we moved across the street. This house had previously belonged to the Mayor of Leichhardt who was the father of ten children. It was built on a corner, on three blocks of land with a five bedroom house fronting Norton Street, stables and chook pen opening to William Street and a garage , carriage house and grooms quarters facing William Street. Some years later dad built a new house facing William Street, where the garden and orchard had been when we lived in the big house. Irene, Jack and Ruth were born in Bombala while we lived at Jincumbilly. Ruth was three months old when we moved to Sydney.
Dad bought and operated a light engineering business in town . I went to work in the knitting department of Lerners menswear, going to business college at night to learn shorthand and typing. Wal did an apprenticeship as a motor mechanic. He met and became good friends with Harvey Ivers, a friendship which lasted all their lives. They later dabbled with making a radio set which worked quite well from half a walnut shell. Wal also met up with Hector Huggett at Tech. and years later they became business partners in Wingham. Molly went to work at Bonds Cotton Mills.

May, Dick and later Rene went to Orange Grove Primary School and afterwards Dick went to Agricultural College. At seventeen he returned to Nimmetabel. Always he was a farmer at heart. When the depression became very bad, dad closed down the engineering business and started a fruit shop at home. He kept this until his death in 1934. In 1933 Dad became ill with whooping cough which he caught from the younger children. This aggravated a congenital heart problem which he had had from boyhood and after a short trip to the snow country which he hoped would cure hid cough he became seriously ill. He was admitted to Prince Alfred Hospital with pneumonia and pleurisy and later discharged with a terminal heart condition. He lived another eleven months, confined to the house. He died in hospital on Clyde's fifth birthday 17th June, 1934, Immediately after the funeral Mum got busy and painted the whole house, her way of coping with grief.

Jack left school at fifteen and started work. Rene at eighteen was already working. Times were hard and money was scarce for the next few years. Three stables were let as garages for a while and the groom's quarters were lived in by a desperate family. These buildings were later sold to a factory.

Lee, Ron and Clyde were born in Sydney. As I think back our period in Sydney was the happiest time of our life. We were all together, busy, and enjoying life. All too soon we were separated. Molly and may were married, Wal had gone to Wagga , I to Newcastle, Dick went to Condobolin to manage a property, Jack in the Air Force for five years , lee left school and started work as a cub reporter. He married at seventeen and went to Melbourne to work. He joined the Army when he was nineteen and was there for the next four years. Ron joined the Air Force at eighteen , straight from school leaving Clyde the only male at home. Grandma Stagg suffered a serious stroke in 1946 and spent the next three years being cared for by Mum. He sister Ida came from Victoria to help out. Rene and Ruth were settled at home. Rene had a ball meeting many Army boys.

After the war years Rene and Ruth married and Mum stayed at home alone. (Clyde and his wife Lorna McLaughlan lived with her for some time after they were married) Eventually her home was bought by the Main Roads Board who had plans to widen William Street. She moved into a granny flat at Clyde's and enjoyed watching the children grow up. She spent the last years of her life in a nursing home after having a stroke. She died in 1969. The family is now lessened by five. Wal, Molly, Dick, Rene and Jack having left us.

The years in the big house were the best of our lives. Molly and I learned the piano and practiced when we had to. Wallace learned the violin and became good enough to play in the Sunday School Orchestra. The house was always full of people and fun. We played tennis on Saturdays and often brought the team home for tea and a sing song. The church to which we belonged didn't have a hall so all social events were held in our house.

Later Note: I always had a great love of horses . At Jincumbilly we lived two miles from the road. Wal or I had to go out the the road several times a week to collect the mail. I would walk to miles to catch the horse so that I could ride to the mail box. Wal on the other hand would walk the two miles even if the horse was close to the house. He hated horses.
Some of my memories of Aunty Marge (and Uncle Merv.)

Marge was not married until late 1934 or early 1935 when I was eighteen months old. I was the train bearer (flower girl) at the wedding. I don't really remember this but photos show that it is so. I do have vague memories of a green dress which may have been saved . I do know that I always got along very well with her and from the time I remember our Sydney trips I always stayed with her. She first lived in a terrace house somewhere in Leichhardt. My memory is of a one story house with the hall down one side.

(excerpts from Jim Grant's Reflections).

George Grant: Memories 1935
The original document was supplied by Mal Dibden of Tilba Tilba NSW and transcribed by Ian Harvey May 2006
George Grant, the youngest son of Henry Grant and Janet Campbell was born December 17th 1858 at Ironmongie on the Monaro. These memories attributed to him contain details, which in some respects are not historically correct. They may seem inconsistent as George describes happenings told to him rather than as he claims were experienced by him. The baby born at Ironmongie can only be George himself, James or "Big Jim" was born in Scotland.
The Kiandra Gold Rush began in 1860, five years after the Grant family arrived in NSW. The memories then, seem to be a composite of stories that George heard or later experienced within his family circle, stories in many respects true but out of sequence. When the family left Scot's Hut and moved to Whipstick the information given closely follows the family's life as it actually happened. Obvious inaccuracies in the memories have been removed to make a genuine account of the story of the Grants during the period 1855-1936 (B. Cornell).

"Emigrating from Scotland the family sailed from Liverpool England on the sailing vessel "Nepaul" skippered by captain George Cossey. She was a 1278 ton tea vessel carrying immigrants confident of making their fortune on the goldfields in Australia. The voyage took 89 days and reached Sydney on the 14th March 1855.
There was much talk about a great gold strike on the south coast (may be referring to the Araluen Valley). So my parents got aboard another sailing vessel bound for Twofold Bay Eden Town.
We purchased two old bullocks and a bullock dray, and set out on the long journey to Monaro. The first day we reached Saltwater Creek. The next day we pushed on to a place called the Lakes then up the peak to Whipstick. We were told Whipstick got its name from early teamsters cutting sticks to tie whips on. We moved on to Honeysuckle Inn on the Myrtle Creek where we rested our two old foot sore bullocks. The Honeysuckle Inn was conducted by an old woman who sucked a clay pipe and supplied lodgers with over proof rum and turned on some wild parties, playing up considerably and doing the Irish jig.
The next stage was to the Boyd Inn, just over the Towamba River. We went on over the Mataganah River. We crossed that twice and then entered a place called Stony Batter. On the Towamba River which we found a good fresh running stream. It was a bit swift to attempt a crossing. We could see the Boyd Inn on the other side. We had to camp there about two days until the water went down. There were lots of other folks coming through. Some riding horseback, some leading packhorses, some walking leading horse and spring cart. Lots walking carry big swags. Next morning the place looked like a circus ready to start up.
As the water went down we moved across. The water was up over the axle but just managed to scramble through. As we drew closer to the Inn, we walked over and there were about nine kids standing around the door and a big Irishman walked to the door. He had such a large beard; it was hanging down round his knees. He said, "Where are you going to?" I said Kiandra "You'd never pull that load over the Coal Hole. Mary has baked a big hot damper. You had better bring that Scotsman in and give him a feed". So we went in and had some hot damper and butter. Just what we really needed, and pushed on up Rocky Hall to approach the Coal Hole.
The two old bullocks were puling along well. Their names were Pilot and Spot. Still following the left side of the Towamba River and along comes a Police Constable on horseback. He called out "Where are you heading for?". We said the Kiandra gold strike. The Constable said he'd just come back from there and was going to Eden Town. "Kiandra is swimming with miners. There are hundreds of them coming in from all directions and they're really getting a lot of gold, big nuggets, I think they have really struck it rich. They are pegging out claims everywhere. On my way here I must have passed over a hundred men making their way to the gold rush. A lot of settlers are packing up and moving as well, hoping to make their fortune". This gave us great courage to hear such wonderful news. The Constable then rode off and said "Good luck at the diggings".
We then moved on. The going starts to get a bit rough. Mum's walking along behind the dray picking up anything that falls off as the wheels go over big stones, swaying from side to side. We get along into the thick forest looking up into this big Coal Hole forest. It's getting very steep. The two old bullocks are giving it all they've got. All at once the old dray tipped over on its side and spilled all our things into a ditch. It was late in the afternoon and the tall trees were making it very dark. Dad unhooked the bullocks and tied them up to the trees. Mum stacked all the belongings up in a heap. By this time it was pitch black dark.
We managed to make a fire, then the dingos started to howl all around. They seemed very close. We couldn't see any of them. They kept up howling for over two hours. By this time we had fixed up a bit of a possie to bed down for the night. We won't be able to sleep with the noise. We pulled some lighted sticks out the fire and pelted them as far as we could round in the bush. That scared them off. Mum was very scared, she said "I think we're at worlds end".
Next morning it looked a pretty sick dray tipped over, with things everywhere. This place was so steep a billy goat needs spikes on his toes to stand up. Two bagmen came along, one said "You're in a spot mate". They helped us get the dray out of the ditch and lift it back on its wheels. The two old bullocks had been tied up all standing on the 90-degree angle. We managed to get yoked up and get started up the next two miles of steep terrain, hedging up a bit at a time. By the time we reached the top the old bullocks tongues were hanging down just dragging on the forest floor. Once over the top, the land became fairly flat and we were able to travel along at ease.
The next stopping place was called Yellow Waterhole and on across Cranky's Plain and on for several days until we reached the Snowy River, where beautiful icy cold water was flowing through coming from the Kosciusko Alps. The fields were grassy and green and very few trees. We called it Ironmongie. Mum said this would be a great place to start a farm. "It's wonderful, we'll stay a while. I am expecting a baby (George himself)". We only had a tent fly and a few boxes. Dad tried to build a bit of a shelter. He cut a few sticks for the posts, they were so crooked he had a job to try to stand them up straight to hang the tent fly on. Dad said we can't build much with this, so he thought of a settler we passed on the way, about ten miles back. He might have some bullock hides. He went back and saw him, sure enough he had some. "He sold me seven and was good enough to lend me his pack horse to carry them back". This gave us some building material. We lay the bullock hides over the cracked sticks and made quite a little hut. We painted the hides white with some pipe clay we found nearby.
The two bullocks are having Christmas on the green grass around the hut and didn't attempt to stray away. You can see for miles around as there are very few trees".
(George does not mention the fact the family were first employed by a Mr. Bradley on Bibbenluke Station from 1855 until 1858).
"We decide to squat here. We pegged out a big claim and we tried to select it from the Government as a selection (1861 Free Selection Act) and were successful. The nearest place to get supplies was Cooma, some forty miles away. We saw blacks on the way here and were a bit worried about them. So when Dad had to go to Cooma to get supplies, we all had to go. It took us four days to reach Cooma and four days back to reach our little place we called Ironmongie, where we had squatted on the Snowy River.
Dad still wanted to go to Kiandra to the gold field. It's now April 1860. The snow started to fall and we were told Kiandra was covered with snow; about four feet deep and the miners were snowed in and couldn't work. We gave the gold field idea away.
We had a few pounds left. (Henry Grant received a 20 pound grant on arrival in NSW) In July we went into Cooma and bought a little flock of sheep and a few cows with calves and drove them back to Ironmongie and started up our farm. The next problem we had, the native dogs started to attack the sheep. We had to build a yard so as to pen them up every night close to the hut. They also attacked the calves and killed one. We had to also pen the calves up. The bigger cattle could scare them off.
The first sheep we killed, the blacks arrived and wanted the fat. The first visit we had from them. We gave them the fat, and they built a big fire nearby and melted it and rubbed it all over their skin so as to keep the cold off their bodies. Otherwise they never bothered us. Every time after that, if we killed one, they would seem to know and come and want the fat.
January 1861. Nearly all the ewes have got nice lambs, and the cows have all new calves. We now have almost doubled our flock.
January 1862. We have quite a mob. It's shearing time. We have our first clip. Dad got to work shearing all the sheep with the thick shears on the grass outside the yard, and then bag it all up. The wool had to go to Sydney to be sold, so the teamster picked it up and some other settler's wool also. The first load took six months to do the trip to Sydney and back. Sometimes they would have to wait for one or two weeks to cross a flooded river and had great difficulty crossing some. When the wool was sold in Sydney they would buy linen and other goods for the return. Our teamster arrived home in Ironmongie in June, six months and four days later. Among some of things he bought with some of our wool cheque money was a brand new concertina and a bottle of whisky. That night Mum started to play the concertina along with a couple of nips of whisky and Dad doing the Irish jig. The volume of noise nearly lifted the roof off the Ironmongie hut. Mum's new baby, she called him Jim (George himself actually, Jim was born in Scotland), just started to run about, took off up the paddock and got in the pen amongst the sheep and hid.
Once we had the concertina we got many visitors, we could have a good old party at Ironmongie. We kept on building our flock at ironmongie. By 1865 they started a road down the Coal Hole. They called the road Big Jack. How it got its name, one of the workers, a big husky man about eighteen stone, they called him Big Jack. He was reputed to have won a bet for carrying a bag of potatoes from Bega to Eden, a distance of 40 miles. They finished the Big Jack mountain road in 1867. That made it better for us. We could take our wool down the mountain to Merimbula wharf for shipment to Sydney.
1870:Mum says it's that cold here at ironmongie we want to try and get another place down the mountain. It's a lot warmer down there. Little Jim wants a schooling. Dad says that little Jim is growing that fast I think we will call him Big Jim, and ever after that everyone called him Big Jim. (The Henry Grant family first selected at Jincumbilly).
1871:We went down the mountain looking for a place. We found a place and took up the selection. We called it Pretty Point on the Mataganah River.
1872:We came down and built a hut at Pretty Point. Everybody called is Scots Hut at Pretty Point.
1873:We sold our selection at Ironmongie and brought our flock down to Pretty Point and settled into Scots Hut. There were no rabbits, but plenty of dingos. They kept attacking the sheep. We still had to pen them up at night. They used to howl all around the hills there at night. We worked the selection, producing wool and beef and then started milking cows. To produce butter we used to milk the cow and set the milk in dishes overnight and then skim the cream off the milk and then churn the cream to butter. We would pack the butter into wooden kegs and lower it down an underground well to keep it cool. The teamsters would pick it up once a week and take it to Merimbula for shipment to Sydney.
1878:Two men arrived at our place looking for a job. Two big hefty Swedes. They were timber cutters and pit sawyers. Dad told them "can't give you a job, go over and see Dave Collins a nearby settler, he wants a house built". They got the job. Dug a pit in the ground and one end of the log down the pit. One man would get down in the pit and the other up top. The top man would push the saw down and the other would push the saw back. They called it pit sawing. They cut big slabs and built Dave Collins house at Greenmount on the Rocky Hall road, about 1884. The best house about then.
1879:I thought I would try my hand at prospecting. Big Jim has now become a bullock conductor and is hauling wool from Monaro to Merimbula. Where we selected another property.
1880:We drove all our stock down from Monaro and settled on the property on the Mataganah Creek at Stony Batter near Wyndham. We increased our flock of sheep and cattle. The weather was much warmer here.
1881:I married a Miss Maria Robinson. We were married in Wyndham and went to Bombala on our honeymoon on horseback. My wife riding sidesaddle some thirty miles. We then settled at Stoney Batter a few years. Having problems with native dogs and droughts and poor wool and cattle prices, I decided to try my luck prospecting.
1889:I discovered Molybdenite at Jingera at Whipstick. The find soon got around and a mining agent got it going and that gave me a secure job so I branched out on my own. I have already had three young children. Being a few miles to ride to work I decided to take up some land at Whipstick near the mine and eventually built a house. Having the frame all up this friend I had helping me, I asked him to fell a tree nearby that might be a danger to the house. His name was Dan Grant (actually his nephew Daniel Joseph Grant, son of George's brother Henry), I said, make sure you fell the tree away from the house and sure enough he felled it straight over the house and flattened it to the ground. So it started all over again. The next day at two, he arrived at the house site with a melon. I asked him "Where did you get that melon?" he said "I picked it off the neighbors patch". I said to him "You take it right back". So after that I called him Melon Dan. That got around and ever after he was well known as Melon Dan and became a great friend of mine.
The house building proceeded and was completed. I moved my family in, another baby had just arrived and this made it now four (Ambrose born 1889). So we had a conference about the cattle (with whom is not known). We decided we would split the cattle and take half each. Setting out on my own. You can have first pick, he did and I had the culls. So drove them out to the selection at Whipstick and now all settled in and working at the Jingera mine.
1892:The hours in the mine were long during the winter months. I always went to work in the dark and lit candles in the mine to see the workplace. At knockoff time we would have to walk home in the dark. The ore from the mine was brought out in small trolleys run on steel rails, to the surface and lots of other miners would pick out the best Molybdenite ore. My wife's father Mr. Jim Robinson had a team of four big horses and wagons. The ore was loaded onto the wagon and taken down to the new battery for treatment, when treated it was then transported down to Merimbula wharf for shipment. The Molybdenite was sold to Germany for the purpose of hardening gun barrels. Soon the Jingera mine brought quite a population around the area. A new school at Whipstick and a Post Office conducted by Miss Molly Schafer. By this time Whipstick is becoming very busy. Saturday afternoon's lots of miners would visit the Wyndham village and Robbie Burns Hotel where several squabbles broke out and fights etc.
1898:The Government in town built a big new Police Station just up on the hill in Wyndham village to handle the wild Jingera miners and some Saturdays would become quite full.
1900:The Jingera mine was still in full swing and some problems about separating the Molybdenite from the ore was overcome by using single tanks and a better grade of Molybdenite was produced which created more jobs.
1904:One January afternoon walking home from work I came across a man sitting on a log and I approached him. The man said "I can't get a job at the mine, I came a long way" I said, "What's your name?" He said "Jake Plumb" he said I haven't had a meal fro just on a week, I will die behind this log tonight". I said "No you won't, come home with me and have supper" He said "I will, I come from America in search of a mining job and now am right out of money" he said "I worked seven years in America for my wife. She died after the first year of our marriage, with the flu plague. So here I am in Australia, stony broke and homeless". I said "You will be right my boy when you get a good steak in your tummy". My wife Maria gave him a good meal and he became quite happy. He said to me "I will work for my tucker, if you will have me" I said "I only get four shillings a day at the mine and now have a family of seven I couldn't very well pay you a wage Jake" and Jake accepted to work for his food. We built him a little hut over in the nearby bush and he stayed with us for years, clearing and burning logs and made quite a nice clearing. Two of my sons are grown up now and are both bullock conductors. Ambrose and George, they are busy hauling materials to the Jingera mine".

TRAGIC ACCIDENT AT KARRIDALE

MR ERNEST COLLINS KILLED

A tragic accident occurred at Karridale on Tuesday afternoon last, as theresult of which Mr Ernest Collins, brother of Mr Fred Collins, of KentStreet, Busselton, was killed.
Mr Collins was at the time working with his son, Heatley, clearing treeson his property at Karridale, and it is understood was using atree-puller when the accident occurred. About 3.30 in the afternoondeceased, with the help of his son, was endeavouring to fall a largetree. A tree-puller which was anchored to the butt of another tree somedistance away, being used and they had almost succeeded in pulling thetree down. Just as it was almost to fall the anchor rope on the pullerbroke near the eye which fits in a shackle hook, and the strain on thetree, acting as a catapult, propelled the whole of the puller in thedirection of the tree which was being felled. Mr Collins, who was workingon the machine, was struck in the chest with the handle of the puller.His ribs were doubled in towards his spine and pierced his lungs. His sonalso received a severe blow on the neck but was not injured.
Help was immediately obtained and an effort was made to rush theunfortunate man to the Margaret River Hospital. He died, however, beforethat could be put into effect.
The late Mr Collins who was 52 years of age was born in New South Wales.He was the youngest son of the late Mr T. B. Collins and Mrs M Collins ofGreenbushes and had spent practically the whole of his life in the SouthWest particularly at Balingup.

Marriage Notes: By Rev. Alex Gordon Michie - Presbyterian rites
Witnesses D Rankin and Lillian Frances Crawford.

Notes: Arthur's first job was running the mail from Delegate to Bombala in his early teens. He did it on horse back rain, hail, snow or sunshine. Many a time he had to row a boat across the Little Plain River to get the mail through. Once his horse went lame, so he walked his horse into Delegate and because the mail was late, he was reprimmanded. He then went to work for Mr John Campbell at "Ambyne" at Tingaringie about 1877. After the marriage of Mr Campbell, he rented "Ambyne" for a number of years. He was then able to buy "Ambyne" bit by bit until he had bought the entire Campbell property, about 640 acres.
He subsequently added other holdings and with hard work and skillful management, became a very successful grazier and fine wool grower. In 1905 a very big bushfire came through and burnt the woolshed down. (Mr Graham Collins had just finished his shearing that day and lost his entire wool clip and most of his sheep in the fire). Arthur lost around 600 sheep and 3 horses.
Arthur also had property at Browns Camp called "Karach".

Notes: Family stories are vague about how Christopher Rea came to be in Australia and especially about how he ended up in Castlemaine during the gold rush and at a time when the city was just beginning to be settled formally. We do have a story however, about his having "jumped ship"and it is possible that he did this 'jumping' due to the fact that he was on his way to the Crimean or some other battle field. There are no convict records for him and all searches for him on passenger lists have so far come to nothing unfortunately we definitely have a family mystery here. We are also not aware of how he met up with Elizabeth (who would have been in Melbourne) but we can imagine that if she was free from her contractual work in 1858, that she may have met him and known him for a couple of years befor
