Gloucester Batute Estate Sale Offer and Rejections
In 1899 the Australian Agricultural Company proposed sale to the Government of 420000 acres including Stroud and Port Stephens sections known as the Gloucester Estate. An 1899 report by J Witte Alworth valued the estate at 160000 for Stroud, 5000 for Port Stephens, and 183000 for the Galway area, but no action followed. The matter resurfaced in 1902 under Sir Dom Lee with a six month bid period from June 28 1902, later shortened to September 1 1902, then withdrawn due to cattle removal disputes and lack of company approval.
