HISTORICAL TEXT

WILLIAM BRIDLE was born in Somersetshire, England, in 1797, and arrived in Australia in 1815. He was employed for some time about Sydney, chiefly in agricultural work, and was one of the members of the first expedition, which, in the time of Governor Macquarie, crossed the Blue Mountains. For his services in this connection he was rewarded with a grant of land near Liverpool. Later he took up land on Manaro, and appears as the lessee of a run containing 12,000 acres, and known as Island Lake (now Wambrook), which was acquired later by Wallace and Ryrie. In 1848 he left Manaro for Talbingo. In 1866 he sold out his Talbingo property to Mr. Lampie. He died at Tumut in 1873. Bridle Creek, near Wambrook, takes its name from him.
