Trusty Darky Passes at Aboriginal Reserve Belarook
William Holton, one of Li dis trict’s oldest identities, died at Belarook Aboriginal Reserve aged about 110. Recollections trace his roots to Roland's Plains and Wallaby Hill, with early farming tales from Capt. Geary and the Mash mob drives. He served years with H A McMaugh, held £1400 from a Maitland cattle sale, slept on the valise at camps, and remained keen on minerals across Obi district. His final wish was to reach Witherbourne Heaven, and he was struck by lightning at Ural, miraculously surviving. His life reflected a rugged frontier lore and endurance.
