Personal Notes:
Frederick share-farmed for Mr G Cross, Mulwaila. Sandy Creek Station was split up and by ballot he drew 480 acres of land at The Rock. He came to The Rock with 13 year-old Jim Toohey (later an auctionier), took possession in June 1900 and cleared it, first pitching a tent then building a homestead. The family arrived in 1902. The seed on the first wheat crop was the size of carraway seed, and bags had to be hung on the horses so they could walk through the thistles. On 31 Dec 1904, a bushfire with a 70-mile front burnt one of the workmen, James William Spencer Fallon, 21yrs, due to be married, who died on 1 January 1905 and is buried in the C of E section of the Old Wagga Cemetery. Fred put his family in the cellar and saved the homestead with buckets of water, while the horses survived up in the scrub.
