Early days on the Upper Macleay to Bellbrook and beyond

The narrative recalls settlement along the Upper Macleay from 1849, detailing early homesteads at Hickeys Creek Toorooka and Bellbrook, harsh transport by bullock dray, and the hardship of pioneer families. It notes the growth of Wiradjuri and European holdings, the mistreatment of the land, and the gritty resilience of settlers who shared goods, aided neighbours, and built roads, schools, and stores amid scarce medical care and frequent floods. It also recounts cedar getting, station brands, notable figures like Blue Shirt and Sparks, and early police presence amid clashes with Aboriginal groups and episodes of violence and loss testified by local families including McMaugh.
