History of the Wimmera longerenong and Kewell stations
In 1840 Darlot and partners began forming stations across the Wimmera, with Longerenong established by December 1845. McPherson took up Longerenong, Brighton and North Brighton growth followed, and Kewell near the Murrabbitnee River expanded under Sir Samuel Wilson and partners. The piece chronicles settlement, stock, and land sales, including pioneering families, open Crown lands, and the evolution of sheep runs into settled farms.
