DEATH OF AN OLD
COLONIST.
One of Victoria's oldest settlers Mr.
Ronald McLachlan, died at his residence,
Iona, Kensington-road, South Yarra, on
Thursday evening, after a few days' illness.
Few men have seen nearly 60 years of the
development of what was practically a vir-
gin country, but Mr. McLachlan was one,
and he felt great pride in his experiences,
and the part he had played in pioneering.
He was born in Stirling about 77 years ago,
his father being captain of the 75th Stirling-
shire Highlanders, now known as the Gor-
don Highlanders. With his father and
other members of the family, Mr. McLachlan
left Stirling for Australia in April, 1839.
They were passengers in the Ariadne, and
called at the Cape, where Captain McLach-
lan found his old regiment quartered. The
Ariadne landed passengers and cargo at
Adelaide, and arrived in Port Phillip in
October. In 1843 Mr. McLachlan joined
the late Mr. J. M. Darlot, and went with
him to what was known as the Devil's
River country, whence Mr. McLachlan took
sheep, cattle, and horses to the Wimmera.
He "took up" the North and South Brighton
Stations, near the site of Horsham, and sub-
sequently bought the Rich Avon Station, on
the Richardson River, which he sold to the
present occupier, Mr. Thomas Guthrie, of
Geelong. Mr. McLachlan was appointed a
territorial magistrate in 1854.
