... , surrounding the Township of Whittlesea, was originally purchased... containing about 4,056 acres, surrounding the Township of Whittlesea ...The Will's Plenty Estate containing about 4,056 acres, surrounding the Township of Whittlesea, was originally purchased by Thomas Wills in 1839, and divided into tenant farms. The sale of the Wills Estate was one of the earliest functions conducted in the Whittlesea Mechanics Institiute on Thursday 20th May, 1886. Thomas Wills (1800-1872) was a J.P., and a son of Edward Spencer Wills an influential Sydney merchant. In 1840 he purchased 176 acres of land at the junction of Darebin Creek and the Yarra River, in what is now Alphington, and there he built a two-storey house named 'Lucerne', the grandest home of its day. In later years he built another large home just across the river from Lucerne which he called Willsmere. He was a good friend of Governor La Trobe who is said to have been a frequent visitor.1 sheet, photocopy, a plan of subdivision showing the sale by auction of allotments with map showing location of tenants and layout.

Her mother was Robina Harvey McNair, Aged 19 James Stirling arrived in Melbourne on January 26, 1842 with his family - parents, three sisters and two brothers. James Stirling moved around a lot to Whittlesea, Ballarat goldfields, Cunninghame, (now Lakes Entrance), then to the Old Station about 36 miles to the east along the coast near the mouth of the Snowy River and for a time settled there with his wife also from Wigton, Scotland, and their family four sons two daughters (James, John, William, George, Margaret and Polly). The first settler to occupy the Marlo township area was James Stirling around the year 1875. He built a bark hut on the bluff that had two rooms, bark walls, earthen floors and a shingle roof. By 1884, this structure had expanded to a 9 roomed accommodation house and in 1886 became the Marlo Hotel when a liquor license was granted.

(more information from “Snowy River Mail”, Wednesday, April 13th 1977: MEMORIES OF MARLO by Mrs Elsbeth Conlon (nee Stirling ) During the 19th century bullock teams were the most effective means of transporting people and goods inland, as the roads were badly made and in poor condition. The better roads were closer to the towns, and the further away from the town, the worse the conditions of the roads. Bullock teams drew heavily laden carts full of provisions, equipment and people from town to town and into the countryside to isolated homes. This item is associated with that era. It is also associated with James Sterling a very early settler of Marlo.A black / white photograph of a bullock team with a man standing beside it.on front - J STIRLING S BULLOCK TEAMstirling-james marlo-history bullock-team transport -
