Personal Notes:

In 1893 Walter James Beck arrived in Wagga Wagga after a six week journey in covered wagon from Clare in South Australia. He took up land at North Wagga Wagga where the children attended North Wagga School and later Pine Gully, Brucedale School. Later the family moved to Bloomfield and finally bought and settled and built Inchiquin, the Gap.
