Farmers in Dudawa, East Arrino [81: 26-Jul-1936]
In the early 1890s purchased about 13,000 or 14,000 acres of virgin bush east of Arrino [120: 5-Oct-1933] [81: 26-Jul-1936]
About two thirds of land was of first class quality and the remainder was good grazing country with a covering of natural grasses [120]
They later disposed of their land in Arrino to the Mitchell Government who subdivided it into lots under the name of Dudawa Estate [120]
