Border Morning Mail article - extract.
The First Alps Crossing.
On February
24, 1948 four people and two jeeps set out for the 76- mile trip across
the mountains from Towong Hill [8 miles from Corryong] to Charlotte Pass.
They were Ossie Rixon & Bill Littlejohn in one jeep and Tom and Elyne
Mitchell [renowned author of Silver Brumby and series] in another jeep.
“This was the first time that the Alps
have ever been crossed by motor transport and as far as we’re concerned,
it was the last”, they reported.

Crown & Anchor, Eden |
The
Crown & Anchor, built by James Rixon in the 1840’s, was the first Inn on
the North Shore of Twofold Bay. It was the first substantial building in
Eden, preceded only by slab and bark huts. As such, it commands
spectacular sea views of Twofold Bay and the ocean as well as a very
central and quiet location within five minutes walking distance of the
wharf. |
It has local stone
foundations, still has the original shingles underneath the tin roof. The
timbers were cut by hand and then split, and the exterior rendering contains
local oyster shell. Inside rendering contains termite nest mud, the lathe and
plaster ceilings bonded with cow hair, the doors were Australian red cedar.
The foundation stone in the south wall marked ER 1850 is believed to refer to
commemorate an occasion involving Elizabeth Rixon.
