Wellington Times in Wellington, New South Wales

A Bit of a Backward Look at Three Mile

A nostalgic retrospective recounts the early days around Wellington and Three Mile Creek, recalling old roads, hotels, farms, and notable residents. It mentions the Walter River crossing, the rise of Maryvale and Gobulian land, and figures such as Mr. Watt, Mr. Phillipson, Old Joe Aarons, and Tom Fisher. The piece laments vanished wildlife, railway changes, and the departure of the Royal Mail Coach, closing with reflections on a fading forest era.
