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.

  • Cunninghamia : a Journal of Plant Ecology for Eastern Australia
    Westbrooke et al., Vegetation of Peery Lake area, western NSW 111 The vegetation of Peery Lake area, Paroo-Darling National Park, western New South Wales M. Westbrooke, J. Leversha, M. Gibson, M. O’Keefe, R. Milne, S. Gowans, C. Harding and K. Callister Centre for Environmental Management, University of Ballarat, PO Box 663 Ballarat, Victoria 3353, AUSTRALIA Abstract: The vegetation of Peery Lake area, Paroo-Darling National Park (32°18’–32°40’S, 142°10’–142°25’E) in north western New South Wales was assessed using intensive quadrat sampling and mapped using extensive ground truthing and interpretation of aerial photograph and Landsat Thematic Mapper satellite images. 378 species of vascular plants were recorded from this survey from 66 families. Species recorded from previous studies but not noted in the present study have been added to give a total of 424 vascular plant species for the Park including 55 (13%) exotic species. Twenty vegetation communities were identified and mapped, the most widespread being Acacia aneura tall shrubland/tall open-shrubland, Eremophila/Dodonaea/Acacia open shrubland and Maireana pyramidata low open shrubland. One hundred and fifty years of pastoral use has impacted on many of these communities. Cunninghamia (2003) 8(1): 111–128 Introduction Elder and Waite held the Momba pastoral lease from early 1870 (Heathcote 1965). In 1889 it was reported that Momba Peery Lake area of Paroo–Darling National Park (32°18’– was overrun by kangaroos (Heathcote 1965). About this time 32°40’S, 142°10’–142°25’E) is located in north western New a party of shooters found opal in the sandstone hills and by South Wales (NSW) 110 km north east of Broken Hill the 1890s White Cliffs township was established (Hardy (Figure 1).

  • The Two Rainbow Serpents: Original Texts 2 Texts (Sections 2.1
    The two rainbow serpents: original texts 2 Texts (Sections 2.1. to 2.4.) are presented here exactly as recorded in notebooks by Jeremy Beckett in 1957-8. This means that the original spelling used in the notebooks has been retained here: it is based on the then newly practiced system of Arthur Capell.1 In this spelling ‘j’ represents the sound of ‘y’ as in ‘yes’, and voiced consonants are used instead of the now preferred unvoiced consonants: that is ‘g’ is used instead of ‘k’, ‘d’ instead of ‘t’ and ‘b’ instead of ‘p’. 2.1. George Dutton’s version They started off from Ularada waterhole (that’s on the Paroo 6-7 miles south of Wanaaring). They were Paroondji first. Then they travelled across through Urisino station (before the station was there). The blacks must have noticed a lot of willows as marks to follow. They went on past Number Seven Bore and they went into a place they called Yattla. (There’s a tank there.) Here they talked Bandjigali. When they got there they was at the top end of the Creek at Yancannia station. Then they followed the creek down. They came to a place they call Big Wunu and Little Wunu, after the little creeks come in about seven miles from the station. Then they went down to a place they call Tartu wanyara [tartu is head]. Then they go down to Mingabulka (it means a dead hole as far as I can tell). Well they went on a bit further then to a place they call Garrabala (there was a lot of sandstone there and they camped there one night and the old fellow called it Garrabala).
