ger Triump of hardy settlers at Caledonian Park

In Caledonian Park near Coutts Crossing on the Orara, Mr and Mrs William Yardy, both past seventy three, are described as unusually hearty and active. The article recounts Yardy’s long life, frontier travels, and the couple’s resilience amid aboriginal tensions, with memories of Glenfernleigh and Guy Fawkes stations, open hospitality, and pioneer life in the late 19th century.

Early colonial life and pioneers on the Armidale to Grafton road

The account recalls winter subsistence and food prep in patriarchal times with meals and butter stored in casks, then shifts to the first Armidale to Grafton road era. McLennan and Freeman opened the road, earning £200 but facing dangers. A fatal dray accident near Deadman’s Creek gave the site its name, and 1062 saw Caledonian Park settlers arriving by bullock dray, starting from Cloud’s Creek with bridgeless crossings.
