HOMESTEAD LEASES 1885 to 1914 and WESTERN LAND LEASES 1903 to 1910 Rusheen’s Website: www.rusheensweb.com HOMESTEAD LEASES 1885 TO 1914 AND WESTERN LAND LEASES 1903 to 1910. Between 1885 and 1902 1,759 Homestead Leases were granted in the Western Division of New South Wales. From 1903 many of these Homestead Leases were converted into Western Land Leases Starting out on my Family History I looked for Tarangara and was directed to Tarangara run on Para Pastoral Holding and told that this was all that I needed to know. It took time and patience in those days to get to the story of Tarangara - Homestead Lease. The history of all the Homestead Leases is there at the State Archives but to uncover their stories and those of the people who changed western New South Wales we needed the names of the Homestead Lessees and the Homestead Lease numbers. By providing all the original Homestead Lessees and now the transfers of the Homestead Leases and their conversion into Western Land Leases I hope that the full history of the development of western New South Wales can now be told. Between 1885 and 1902 1,759 Homestead Leases were granted in the Western Division of New South Wales. In sharp contrast to the previous land system, every aspect of these Homestead Leases was highly regulated and policed. In August 1885, on the first day of issue, over a million acres of land was taken up as Homestead Leases. From 1903 the majority of the Homestead Leases were converted into Western Land Leases which offered greater security of tenure. In 1884 most of western New South Wales was made up of vast Pastoral Holdings, each Holding being divided into runs. The Crown Lands Act of that year required that half of each of those runs in the Western Division be offered as Homestead Leases (HLs). A Homestead Lessee could hold a maximum of 10,240 acres. A large run could become several Homestead Leases. Usually a Homestead Lessee held only one lease, however I did come across one case where a person held three Homestead Leases - but the total area of these three HLs was still under the 10,240 acre limit. Also at a later stage some Homestead Lessees were able to obtain small Additional Homestead Leases, these leases being counted in the total number of 1,759 leases given above. So alongside those potentially halved Pastoral Holdings, now called Pastoral Leases, held by a wealthy man, with their almost self-sufficient communities made up mainly of male workers, we had developing the smaller 10,240 acres Homestead Lease - a man and his family (or a woman under certain conditions), often holding land for the first time, and having to pay a deposit, usually equal to a year's rent in advance, pay for a survey of his land, tackle the 12 plus miles of fencing within 2 years, living on the lease for at least 6 months of each of the first 5 years, and having enough income to support his family. The first leases were usually granted for 15 years, broken into three periods of 5 ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Homestead Leases Copyright © 2017 Rusheen Craig 1 years. At the end of the first 5 year period if the lessee had fulfilled all the required conditions he could claim the land as his own lease, although it still remained totally subject to Government regulations and leasehold conditions. The records tell us all the negatives about being a Homestead Lessee - when they were driven off their land by drought or flood or rabbits, or when they failed to pay the rent or do their fencing. It is easy to talk about the difficulties involved and so overlook the tremendous benefits to be gained in taking up a HL. THEY HAD LAND. My ancestors and those of the people with whom I have corresponded with on NSW-West were all genuine lessees, who were successful enough to raise families and live a hard but good life on that land. Go out West today and see just how many of the families in the area owe their start to their ancestors taking up a Homestead Lease. The vast majority of the Homestead Leases worked well enough to survive to become Western Land Leases from 1903. The issuing of these 1,759 Homestead Leases permitted the influx of smaller leasehold property holders into western New South Wales, into the territory formerly dominated by vast Pastoral Holdings. Because the story of these numbered, but unnamed, individual Homestead Leases, very often further hidden under the name of a mortgagee, has not been collated until now, their contribution and their impact has largely been ignored. By providing all this information on the Homestead Leases I hope that others will be able to find out about their ancestors who were Homestead Lessees, and that historical and environmental researchers will be able to use this as the basis for further work revealing the true record of the development of western New South Wales. The introduction of the Homestead Leases made an enormous difference to the Western Division of New South Wales. My ancestors were Homestead Lessees. Please don't continue to ignore them and others like them. RUSHEEN CRAIG, November 2016.

IN the ensuing work, very frequent are the references to the Registrum Roffense, a book published by John Thorpe, esq.; from the accurate MSS. of his father Dr. Thorpe, who was no less eminent for his knowledge of antiquities, than for his skill in physic: it would be ungrateful in the editor to omit acknowledging, how much labour and expence he has saved, by having an opportu= nity of examining in print, this curious and valuable collection of ancient deeds. He is likewise obliged to the reverend Mr. Aus= ten of Rochester, for some very useful and entertaining articles of information; and it is not without regret that he finds himself not at liberty to insert the names of several other ingenious and learned gentlemen, who have contributed their assistance; and especially of one, whose name would do honour to any publication; and by whose friendly communications, the editor has been enabled to give a clearer and more circumstantial account of some part of the ecclesiastical history of this city, and the neighbouring district, than he could otherwise have done.

  • February 2020 Rainfall Event Barwon-Darling
    Operations update February 2020 rainfall event Barwon-Darling 6 March 2020 - Update • Menindee inflow forecast is now for 205,000ML to 250,000ML to commence arriving by mid March. • No changes to forecast inflows from the Border, Gwydir or Namoi. • Forecast inflows from the Moonie river into the Barwon-Darling have been increased by 5 GL due to observed rainfall. • Around 5 GL gain observed upstream of Mogil Mogil over last 2 days probably due to rain and local drainage. • In the Condamine Balonne over 1,300 GL has been observed at St George station. Flow arrived at Brenda (1st NSW station) on 23 February and inflows to the Darling River at Warraweena from about 2 March. Around 10% (130 GL) inflow is forecast from this event. Around 20 GL of inflow is also considered as an initial forecast from the Bokhara River upstream of Beemery. • More than 500 GL has been observed in the Warrego River at Cunnamulla. During the April 2019 event, around 318 GL was observed at Cunnamulla and 25 GL of that reached Dicks Dam near the junction with the Darling River. An initial 20-40GL inflow is considered at Dicks Dam as inflow from the Warrego River and expected to arrive during 3rd week of March, including flows from local rain that commenced on 6 March. • Forecasts include estimated extractions from Mungindi to Culgoa junction from 27 Feb 2020 and also downstream of Culgoa junction from 6 Mar 2020. Forecast Flows The Barwon-Darling system is an unregulated river system, which travels through a very arid environment with significant losses due to high evaporation and long flow-travel times.
