- Reference = p21, 31 (Name, Notes)
- Notes: p21 A good example was Thomas Mate, an Englishman who settled on the Tarcutta Creek thirty miles east of Wagga Wagga in 1835 or 1836, and quickly expanded his activities to include a store and inn because of his position on the Port Phillip Road.

p31 Of course the influence of the inns was not wholly bad. Frequently associated with the inn was a store, the two being the genesis of a village. The most interesting of these stores near Wagga Wagga was Thomas Mate's at Tarcutta. Mate has already been noted as a pastoralist; and before 1840 he was using his primitive homestead both as inn and store, capitalizing on its strategic location on the Port Phillip Road about thirty miles south of the Murrumbidgee crossing. Fortunately his Store Book for 1839* still exists and gives prime evidence of the trade.
Both inn and store served travellers, overlanders like Hawdon and the occupiers and labourers of pastoral runs throughout the Murrumbidgee Pastoral District. Almost everything the traveller and pastoralist needed was available from this Tarcutta emporium of 1839, as Table 12 shows. Horses were very valuable animals, and it was fitting that the charge for stabling was much higher than the cost of a bed for the night; but then horses did not supplement their diets and the innkeeper's till by buying liquor during the night.
