Information notice on the clocktower

 

This clock was purchased by public subscription in 1890 and erected on a building since demolished to honour the 80th birthday of Thomas Cramp (1810- 1891) an influential local public man and teetotal pioneer. It was re-erected on this purpose-built tower in 1955 at the expense of Mr Sidney Betchley and Mr L.W. E. Dungey and restored in 2000 thanks to an anonymous benefactor in co-operation with East Grinstead Town Council

So looking forward to getting out and exploring once more.

Bowden Bible Christian Church later Way Memorial Methodist Church

Jubilee Services

The jubilee of the Bowden Methodist Church was celebrated on Sunday. This church was founded by the late Rev James Way, father of the Right Hon Sir Samuel Way Bart, and Dr E W Way.

 

In 1850 the late Rev James Way arrived at Port Adelaide with the Rev James Rowe, as missionaries from the English Conference. They came to Bowden, and finding Bible Christian friends, among whom were the late Messrs Samuel Coombe, P P Dungey, and J R Rundle, they started the cause.

 

Services at first were held in a butcher's shop. The cause prospered, and in 1851 the foundation-stone of a meeting house was laid.

A little later the building was opened with special services.

 

A few years afterwards a more commodious building was required. Land was purchased, and its erection was proceeded with, and early in 1857 it was opened for divine worship.

Nearly 20 years later both buildings were enlarged, and the original structure was made to serve as a lecture hall. Slight additions have been made since.

 

Naturally the name of the late Mr Way is associated with the church, and a mural tablet bears the following inscription — 'In memory of Rev James Way, founder of the Bible Christian Church in South Australia, born at Morchard Bishop, Devon, England, June 17, 1804: entered the ministry 1826: arrived in South Australia 1850: died at Sea View, Noarlunga, August 14, 1884. He being dead yet speaketh. Also of Jane Way, wife of the above, died May 15, 1878, aged 67 years.'

This tablet was erected by the members of this church, of which Mr Way was the first pastor.

 

The church, for the first 17 or 18 years, was in the Adelaide circuit, and afterwards was made the head of the Bowden circuit, having branch churches in Thebarton, Findon, and West Hindmarsh.

In 1900, when Methodist union was consummated, it became part of the Hindmarsh circuit.

 

On Monday evening a public tea meeting was held in the lecture hall. The pastor, the Rev F Bullock, congratulated all present on the jubilee celebration. There was on one of the tables a jubilee cake, and he would Mrs S Coombe, to cut it. Mrs Coombe is the only surviving original member of the church. She had been present with her late husband, Mr S Coombe, when meetings were held in Rundle’s butcher's shop. The cake was cut amidst applause. It bore the inscription, 'Bowden Methodist Church Jubilee, 1851 to 1901’.

 

A public meeting followed in the church, over which Sir Samuel Way, Bart., presided.

His Honour the Chief Justice said it was not the first time he had attended an anniversary at Bowden.

He referred to his love of the Bible Christian denomination. The name, he said, was now lost, but its union into the Methodist Church he did not doubt would result beneficially. He was not in South Australia when his father laid the foundation stone of the Bowden Church, as he was still at school in England.

There had been much controversy as to whether Bowden was the first Bible Christian Church in South Australia. Mr Coombe had insisted that it was, but he had not taken into account the chapel built at Burra— built before Mr Way or Mr Rowe arrived in South Australia, and the chapel at Kapunda was also opened before the Bowden Church.

His association with the Bowden Church dated from the time he landed from the ‘Cleopatra’ in 1853. When he arrived, he was asked by Mr Coombe to preach at Bowden. [Ref: Register Tuesday 24-9-1901]

 

Bowden Methodist Church

Diamond Jubilee

The diamond jubilee of the Bowden Methodist Church, and of the labours in Australia of the late Rev James Way, the founder of the Bible Christian denomination here, was celebrated on Sunday.

The Rev James Way, father of the Chief Justice, became connected with the Bible Christian denomination in its infancy, and for three years was a local preacher. He entered the ministry at the eighth annual English Conference, in 1826, and in 1847 was elected President of the Conference.

 

Although Mr Way entered the ranks of superannuated ministers, he frequently preached in churches of the denomination nearly until the time of his death, at the age of 80 years.

 

He was pressed to take charge of the Canadian missions by the English Conference, but he refused, because he had promised his widowed mother that he would never leave England during her lifetime. The Rev James Thorne, one of the founders of the Bible Christian denomination in England, and secretary of the missionary society, subsequently asked Mr Way to go to Australia and the Conference unanimously elected him to found the Bible Christian denomination in this State. The Rev James Rowe was chosen to accompany him. Mr Way, with his wife and children (excepting their eldest son, Sir Samuel), and Mr and Mrs Rowe, left England in the ‘Anna Maria’, on August 12, 1850, and arrived on November 4. On leaving the vessel at Port Adelaide, Mr Way and Mr Rowe proceeded to Bowden.

 

Mr Way, at his ministerial jubilee celebration, said:—"I began my preaching at Bowden, in a butcher's shop. I carried a letter to Mr Rundle, and in the course of conversation, he said to his wife, 'What do you say, Mary? Shall we let Mr Way preach in our shop?' to which she replied 'I don't think it will do to sell meat in the morning and have Mr Way preach in the afternoon.'

I agreed with her that the two things would not suit together, and a stop having been put to Sunday trading, I began preaching in the shop.

 

A Chapel Built

Having left Mr Rowe at the Burra, Mr Way returned and resumed his work at Bowden, which afterwards was included in the southern circuit. Land was purchased in Sixth street in the name of Mr Way, and the building of a chapel was soon begun. The laying of the foundation stone was thus described: “On Monday, August 4, 1851, a little after 4 o'clock pm. the foundation stone of a new chapel was laid in Bowden, for the use of people denominated Bible Christians, by Mr Jas Way, pastor of the Australian Mission”.

 

The church was opened on Sunday, November 30, 1851. The builders were Messrs George Cole & Simon Clarke.

In 1856 the debt was paid off the chapel, and the foundation stone of the new one was laid by Mr Way. On February 15 of the following year it was opened. The cost amounted to £700.

In 1876, during the pastorate of Rev Joseph Hancock, the new church was enlarged. and a gallery put in one end, and the old church was enlarged to twice the original size. This is now used as a lecture hall.

Victorian Alpine Huts survey, for Parks Victoria 1994-5.

The Bon Accord track led from Harrietville up the east branch of the Ovens River to the foot of the Bon Accord spur and then to the Razorback. It is thought to have led to the Bon Accord mine in the Mt Wills gold field{ see Mt Wills Gold Field plan}. At one period, this was used as a cattle track to the Hotham-Loch snow-plains (by the Blairs and others) when Dungey's Track was blocked by fallen trees { Stephenson: 276}. John Lawler had the grazing rights over the block in 1908, then covering some 13,500 acres, followed by TE Whitehead of Urana and then William Lawler in the 1920s{ DCNR 644/121}. After a vacant period, the block was taken by Edward Dyason & Co. (Melb. sharebrokers also of Wandiligong) in 1931{ ibid.}. Neil Gow followed in 1937, with W Howard joining him in the mid 1940s. Typical of the late 1940s, restrictions were placed on stock type and numbers and the grazing period. By 1960 only the northern part could be used for grazing (2200 acres). The first hut on the site was built as a four-bunk 16x10' hut for the Tourist Resorts Committee in 1929, reputedly in place of Lawler's Hut, but it was burnt (along with Hotham Heights, St Bernard Hospice, and the Feathertop Bungalow) in the 1939 fires{ Stephenson (1982): 290, 184}. The hut was rebuilt in 1939 reputedly for the Victorian Railways. Both the 1929 and 1939 huts are thought to have been built by Martin Lawler who is also been attributed with Cope Hut's construction { Stapleton: 191}. Bon Accord hut is shown on the 1945 `Kiewa Scheme' plan but with no occupation license covering the site in the 1980s{ MP:70; Boadle (1983): 8; HO16956 letter from E Johnson 5.10.44 describes hut as owned by Railway Dept.}. The c1939 hut was built in transportable sections and taken via the alpine road to the Razorback crossing. From there it was sledged in by `Sandy Lawler' and erected during an upgrade of the track. Eric Stewart was behind raising the money to rebuild the hut and the track, along with a new bridge at the Ovens River{ Stephenson (1982): 187f; Lloyd:355.}. It is pictured under snow with a gathering of pack horses at the verandah; this was the stopping point for the horses, hence the stable and yards. The development of the Bon Accord spur route to the snowfields was furthered by a decision to hold the University Ski Club championships at Mt Hotham in the early 1930s. J Warrand Begg wrote of his 1931 investigations of the route, noting that it once served the old Bon Accord mine (see old battery remnants, battery keeper's house near Ovens River bridge){ Stephenson (1982): 183}. Once established, this route became the favoured one for skiers, with guides such as Frank Wraith{ ibid.}. In 1944 the monthly ski magazine, `Schuss', noted the valued activities of a Harrietville miner, Eric Johnson, who guided and packed ski tours via Bon Accord Hut (since c1943): it was a luxury for those who previously had to carry their own pack to now have Johnson's two horse-drawn sledges doing the job{ HO16956 cites `Schuss' 9.1944: 132}. At that time Johnson built a small hut (at or near Biplane Hut) on the snowline to aid in this service (now in ruins). The magazine described Johnson's knowledge of the alpine area as `so great that his presence in that area is the cause for considerable relief to the many skiers and others associated with snow sports in that locality'{ ibid.}. Johnson also worked in with the Victorian Railways who provided weekly ski holidays{ Stephenson (1982): 199}. At that time Johnson applied for a permissive occupancy half a mile east of this hut at the start of the snow poles and built a `tiny hut' to aid in the transfer of packs to the chalet. Here he housed the upper end of the phone line from the Bon Accord Hut and his carrying equipment; nearby there were stables and yards for the horses. The lands Department noted that the hut would be `a decided acquisition to the already popular tourist resort'{ HO16956 note on Johnson letter 5.10.44}. However the Victorian Railways did raise an objection a year later to what they understood was Johnson's intention to lease the hut{ ibid.}. Johnson gave up the hut occupation c1950. In 1983 Bon Accord Hut (6.74x 4.5mx 2.19m) was described as clad with c.g.i., with a timber floor, large rubble stone fireplace and a porch at the eastern entry point, and a verandah along the north side, both with earth floors. The hut was framed with sawn timber, but unlined except for cement sheeting remnants to the ceiling. Two windows each had 12 panes, the door was timber, and furnishings included a table, bench seating which ran around the walls and along the verandah, and 4 steel-framed beds. Nearby was a 4.7x3.7m log-framed `stable' with c.g.i. wall and roof cladding, and a dirt floor. Then it was used by walkers, more often in summer than winter, but no one walking group maintained it. Access was by foot 2.5K (40 minutes down, 1 hour return) from the Razorback and the hut site was surrounded by alpine ash regrowth. Tatnall has also noted that it was built from transportable sections{ Tatnall, 1988: 1}

James Stewart showcased these at Red Bull Media Day. Developed with help by Ryan Dungey and Stewart, rumors are that while Stewart is reportedly happy with performance thus far, Nike's holding out on releasing them to the public until further notice.

The lands Department noted that the hut would be `a decided acquisition to the already popular tourist resort'{ HO16956 note on Johnson letter 5.10.44}. However the Victorian Railways did raise an objection a year later to what they understood was Johnson's intention to lease the hut{ ibid.}. Johnson gave up the hut occupation c1950. In 1983 Bon Accord Hut (6.74x 4.5mx 2.19m) was described as clad with c.g.i., with a timber floor, large rubble stone fireplace and a porch at the eastern entry point, and a verandah along the north side, both with earth floors. The hut was framed with sawn timber, but unlined except for cement sheeting remnants to the ceiling. Two windows each had 12 panes, the door was timber, and furnishings included a table, bench seating which ran around the walls and along the verandah, and 4 steel-framed beds. Nearby was a 4.7x3.7m log-framed `stable' with c.g.i. wall and roof cladding, and a dirt floor. Then it was used by walkers, more often in summer than winter, but no one walking group maintained it. Access was by foot 2.5K (40 minutes down, 1 hour return) from the Razorback and the hut site was surrounded by alpine ash regrowth. Tatnall has also noted that it was built from transportable sections{ Tatnall, 1988: 1}

William Lawson Dungey

 

Born in Nashville TN, 7 Jan 1891 to Joseph Dungey, a coal and ice dealer, and his wife Alice.

 

Dungey enlisted as a private in the Ninth Cavalry, US Army, at Jefferson Barracks, Missouri , on September 25th, 1909 under Col. George S. Anderson. The 9th Cavalry was an all-black “Buffalo Soldier” regiment. Dungey served 14 months in that unit.

 

The 1910 US Census finds him serving in Troop D of the 9th US Cavalry at Fort D. A. Russell, Wyoming.

 

In June 1915, he left the US for Tahiti, where he worked as a machinist.

 

On October 20th, 1917, he applied for a passport to return to the United States from Papeete, Tahiti. His purpose for the return was “to enlist in the military forces of the United States.”

 

He worked his passage back to the States on the French Schooner “Roberta” (with a complement of a captain. two mates and four sailors) arriving at San Francisco on December, 5th 1917.

 

On Dec 8th 1917, he registered for the draft in San Francisco, giving his residence as, “the Sailing Vessel Roberto.” He also said that he had previous military service as a private in the US Cavalry.

I was looking through some of my old Happisburgh photographs and found this little gem (not the photo but the track). Matt and I only managed one song - which is a great shame because I thought he interpreted the words brilliantly. (Echoes of Peter Hammill - though I don't think he knew of PH.)

  

Happisburgh

 

The man from the government came round

To say my house is only worth a pound

Perched here on this most fragile ground

Where the sea bites into the cliff

And all buildings shift

Precariously

 

And at night, I hear the waves crashing

Against the revetments

And fear the strength of the water

I can no longer sleep

Fearful of the time when the slide will come

And carry my belongings into the deep

My hair has gone grey

And my nerves are fraught

In my head now I hear the sea

Like in a shell constantly

Roaring and beating and waiting

To take the house I bought

My garden has already gone

Along with my favourite shed

I awoke, one morning, to find my lawnmower

Mangled on the beach

And all my tools smashed and tangled

My screws and nails spread

 

Soon to be pounded on the beach

Its bricks worn smooth - its timbers cracked

Its tiles dispersed by the breakers

To disappear forever out of reach

Piece by piece

Like Eccles Church

Who will fight to save my home now?

Nobody!

Because the man from the government came round

To say it’s only worth a pound

Victorian Alpine Huts survey, for Parks Victoria 1994-5.

The Bon Accord track led from Harrietville up the east branch of the Ovens River to the foot of the Bon Accord spur and then to the Razorback. It is thought to have led to the Bon Accord mine in the Mt Wills gold field{ see Mt Wills Gold Field plan}. At one period, this was used as a cattle track to the Hotham-Loch snow-plains (by the Blairs and others) when Dungey's Track was blocked by fallen trees { Stephenson: 276}. John Lawler had the grazing rights over the block in 1908, then covering some 13,500 acres, followed by TE Whitehead of Urana and then William Lawler in the 1920s{ DCNR 644/121}. After a vacant period, the block was taken by Edward Dyason & Co. (Melb. sharebrokers also of Wandiligong) in 1931{ ibid.}. Neil Gow followed in 1937, with W Howard joining him in the mid 1940s. Typical of the late 1940s, restrictions were placed on stock type and numbers and the grazing period. By 1960 only the northern part could be used for grazing (2200 acres). The first hut on the site was built as a four-bunk 16x10' hut for the Tourist Resorts Committee in 1929, reputedly in place of Lawler's Hut, but it was burnt (along with Hotham Heights, St Bernard Hospice, and the Feathertop Bungalow) in the 1939 fires{ Stephenson (1982): 290, 184}. The hut was rebuilt in 1939 reputedly for the Victorian Railways. Both the 1929 and 1939 huts are thought to have been built by Martin Lawler who is also been attributed with Cope Hut's construction { Stapleton: 191}. Bon Accord hut is shown on the 1945 `Kiewa Scheme' plan but with no occupation license covering the site in the 1980s{ MP:70; Boadle (1983): 8; HO16956 letter from E Johnson 5.10.44 describes hut as owned by Railway Dept.}. The c1939 hut was built in transportable sections and taken via the alpine road to the Razorback crossing. From there it was sledged in by `Sandy Lawler' and erected during an upgrade of the track. Eric Stewart was behind raising the money to rebuild the hut and the track, along with a new bridge at the Ovens River{ Stephenson (1982): 187f; Lloyd:355.}. It is pictured under snow with a gathering of pack horses at the verandah; this was the stopping point for the horses, hence the stable and yards. The development of the Bon Accord spur route to the snowfields was furthered by a decision to hold the University Ski Club championships at Mt Hotham in the early 1930s. J Warrand Begg wrote of his 1931 investigations of the route, noting that it once served the old Bon Accord mine (see old battery remnants, battery keeper's house near Ovens River bridge){ Stephenson (1982): 183}. Once established, this route became the favoured one for skiers, with guides such as Frank Wraith{ ibid.}. In 1944 the monthly ski magazine, `Schuss', noted the valued activities of a Harrietville miner, Eric Johnson, who guided and packed ski tours via Bon Accord Hut (since c1943): it was a luxury for those who previously had to carry their own pack to now have Johnson's two horse-drawn sledges doing the job{ HO16956 cites `Schuss' 9.1944: 132}. At that time Johnson built a small hut (at or near Biplane Hut) on the snowline to aid in this service (now in ruins). The magazine described Johnson's knowledge of the alpine area as `so great that his presence in that area is the cause for considerable relief to the many skiers and others associated with snow sports in that locality'{ ibid.}. Johnson also worked in with the Victorian Railways who provided weekly ski holidays{ Stephenson (1982): 199}. At that time Johnson applied for a permissive occupancy half a mile east of this hut at the start of the snow poles and built a `tiny hut' to aid in the transfer of packs to the chalet. Here he housed the upper end of the phone line from the Bon Accord Hut and his carrying equipment; nearby there were stables and yards for the horses. The lands Department noted that the hut would be `a decided acquisition to the already popular tourist resort'{ HO16956 note on Johnson letter 5.10.44}. However the Victorian Railways did raise an objection a year later to what they understood was Johnson's intention to lease the hut{ ibid.}. Johnson gave up the hut occupation c1950. In 1983 Bon Accord Hut (6.74x 4.5mx 2.19m) was described as clad with c.g.i., with a timber floor, large rubble stone fireplace and a porch at the eastern entry point, and a verandah along the north side, both with earth floors. The hut was framed with sawn timber, but unlined except for cement sheeting remnants to the ceiling. Two windows each had 12 panes, the door was timber, and furnishings included a table, bench seating which ran around the walls and along the verandah, and 4 steel-framed beds. Nearby was a 4.7x3.7m log-framed `stable' with c.g.i. wall and roof cladding, and a dirt floor. Then it was used by walkers, more often in summer than winter, but no one walking group maintained it. Access was by foot 2.5K (40 minutes down, 1 hour return) from the Razorback and the hut site was surrounded by alpine ash regrowth. Tatnall has also noted that it was built from transportable sections{ Tatnall, 1988: 1}

Bowden Bible Christian Church later Way Memorial Methodist Church

Jubilee Services

The jubilee of the Bowden Methodist Church was celebrated on Sunday. This church was founded by the late Rev James Way, father of the Right Hon Sir Samuel Way Bart, and Dr E W Way.

 

In 1850 the late Rev James Way arrived at Port Adelaide with the Rev James Rowe, as missionaries from the English Conference. They came to Bowden, and finding Bible Christian friends, among whom were the late Messrs Samuel Coombe, P P Dungey, and J R Rundle, they started the cause.

 

Services at first were held in a butcher's shop. The cause prospered, and in 1851 the foundation-stone of a meeting house was laid.

A little later the building was opened with special services.

 

A few years afterwards a more commodious building was required. Land was purchased, and its erection was proceeded with, and early in 1857 it was opened for divine worship.

Nearly 20 years later both buildings were enlarged, and the original structure was made to serve as a lecture hall. Slight additions have been made since.

 

Naturally the name of the late Mr Way is associated with the church, and a mural tablet bears the following inscription — 'In memory of Rev James Way, founder of the Bible Christian Church in South Australia, born at Morchard Bishop, Devon, England, June 17, 1804: entered the ministry 1826: arrived in South Australia 1850: died at Sea View, Noarlunga, August 14, 1884. He being dead yet speaketh. Also of Jane Way, wife of the above, died May 15, 1878, aged 67 years.'

This tablet was erected by the members of this church, of which Mr Way was the first pastor.

 

The church, for the first 17 or 18 years, was in the Adelaide circuit, and afterwards was made the head of the Bowden circuit, having branch churches in Thebarton, Findon, and West Hindmarsh.

In 1900, when Methodist union was consummated, it became part of the Hindmarsh circuit.

 

On Monday evening a public tea meeting was held in the lecture hall. The pastor, the Rev F Bullock, congratulated all present on the jubilee celebration. There was on one of the tables a jubilee cake, and he would Mrs S Coombe, to cut it. Mrs Coombe is the only surviving original member of the church. She had been present with her late husband, Mr S Coombe, when meetings were held in Rundle’s butcher's shop. The cake was cut amidst applause. It bore the inscription, 'Bowden Methodist Church Jubilee, 1851 to 1901’.

 

A public meeting followed in the church, over which Sir Samuel Way, Bart., presided.

His Honour the Chief Justice said it was not the first time he had attended an anniversary at Bowden.

He referred to his love of the Bible Christian denomination. The name, he said, was now lost, but its union into the Methodist Church he did not doubt would result beneficially. He was not in South Australia when his father laid the foundation stone of the Bowden Church, as he was still at school in England.

There had been much controversy as to whether Bowden was the first Bible Christian Church in South Australia. Mr Coombe had insisted that it was, but he had not taken into account the chapel built at Burra— built before Mr Way or Mr Rowe arrived in South Australia, and the chapel at Kapunda was also opened before the Bowden Church.

His association with the Bowden Church dated from the time he landed from the ‘Cleopatra’ in 1853. When he arrived, he was asked by Mr Coombe to preach at Bowden. [Ref: Register Tuesday 24-9-1901]

 

Bowden Methodist Church

Diamond Jubilee

The diamond jubilee of the Bowden Methodist Church, and of the labours in Australia of the late Rev James Way, the founder of the Bible Christian denomination here, was celebrated on Sunday.

The Rev James Way, father of the Chief Justice, became connected with the Bible Christian denomination in its infancy, and for three years was a local preacher. He entered the ministry at the eighth annual English Conference, in 1826, and in 1847 was elected President of the Conference.

 

Although Mr Way entered the ranks of superannuated ministers, he frequently preached in churches of the denomination nearly until the time of his death, at the age of 80 years.

 

He was pressed to take charge of the Canadian missions by the English Conference, but he refused, because he had promised his widowed mother that he would never leave England during her lifetime. The Rev James Thorne, one of the founders of the Bible Christian denomination in England, and secretary of the missionary society, subsequently asked Mr Way to go to Australia and the Conference unanimously elected him to found the Bible Christian denomination in this State. The Rev James Rowe was chosen to accompany him. Mr Way, with his wife and children (excepting their eldest son, Sir Samuel), and Mr and Mrs Rowe, left England in the ‘Anna Maria’, on August 12, 1850, and arrived on November 4. On leaving the vessel at Port Adelaide, Mr Way and Mr Rowe proceeded to Bowden.

 

Mr Way, at his ministerial jubilee celebration, said:—"I began my preaching at Bowden, in a butcher's shop. I carried a letter to Mr Rundle, and in the course of conversation, he said to his wife, 'What do you say, Mary? Shall we let Mr Way preach in our shop?' to which she replied 'I don't think it will do to sell meat in the morning and have Mr Way preach in the afternoon.'

I agreed with her that the two things would not suit together, and a stop having been put to Sunday trading, I began preaching in the shop.

 

A Chapel Built

Having left Mr Rowe at the Burra, Mr Way returned and resumed his work at Bowden, which afterwards was included in the southern circuit. Land was purchased in Sixth street in the name of Mr Way, and the building of a chapel was soon begun. The laying of the foundation stone was thus described: “On Monday, August 4, 1851, a little after 4 o'clock pm. the foundation stone of a new chapel was laid in Bowden, for the use of people denominated Bible Christians, by Mr Jas Way, pastor of the Australian Mission”.

 

The church was opened on Sunday, November 30, 1851. The builders were Messrs George Cole & Simon Clarke.

In 1856 the debt was paid off the chapel, and the foundation stone of the new one was laid by Mr Way. On February 15 of the following year it was opened. The cost amounted to £700.

In 1876, during the pastorate of Rev Joseph Hancock, the new church was enlarged. and a gallery put in one end, and the old church was enlarged to twice the original size. This is now used as a lecture hall.

Victorian Alpine Huts survey, for Parks Victoria April, May 1994.

Thomas Blair came to the colony for gold, reaching the Ballarat field. His marriage to Annie (nee Robertson) at Wandiligong, in 1862, yielded sons, William Francis (Frank), Jack, Aleck, George and Thomas, and daughters Effie and Isabel{ Stephenson: 242; `Voice of the Mountains' (VOM), #13, 1990: 6 adds Aleck and daughters to family; Carroll}. After Thomas died in 1889, the family moved to Tawonga from Melbourne. Jack and Frank purchased property there in 1913 and, in 1917, the Homestead at German Creek{ ibid.}. After dairying farming for a time, Frank Blair started grazing, introducing black Angus to the area in 1921{ ibid.}. A listing of alpine grazing runs taken out 1835-1935 shows Frank Blair leasing lot C14 1921-1931 and William F Blair leasing C18 1920-1960{ Cabena: 152}. C14 was then taken up by JW Edmondson 1931-9, the period when this hut is thought to have been built. Reputedly Frank also purchased a number of freeholds at Freeburg{ Stephenson: 242}. The old mining path, Dungey's Track, had been closed by fallen trees some 13 years prior to 1922 forcing Frank to take his cattle around Mt Hotham to the High Plains. In 1922 Frank Blair reopened the stock route, Dungey's Track, aided by government money given to establish it as tourist track{ Holth, COTHC: 133}. Frank took his cattle along the track for the first time in 1922 and is thought to have led tourist parties there in the mid 1920s{ Holth: 133; VOM: 6}. What is thought to the first overnight ski-touring party taken up to the High Plains was in 1925, led by Frank Blair to his hut near this site{ VOM} Tom & Frank Blair built the first Blair's Hut 1923-4, only to have the hut destroyed by fire in 1931{ Stephenson: 243f.}. It was rebuilt soon afterward by Frank and his son, Frank junior (or Frank's brother, Tom, with Tom Briggs), finishing after Christmas 1932{ ibid.; Holth: 136 citing Ross Blair, see SLV oral}. Since Frank's son, Ross and his grandson, Max, have continued to use the second hut for grazing. A photo of the hut taken in December 1931 shows it as a log hut, with a bark roof held in place by a sapling frame, with log-framed yards at the rear{ VOM: 7}. The hut is shown in other early photos as a gabled bark hut, constructed with tied sapling logs weighing down a shallow-pitched bark roof and wall cladding. Another part of the wall is built from logs{ Stephenson: 244}. The fire place is also shown as vertical bark slabs held in place with saplings. Cleve Cole described it in the 1930s: he noted it as at 3,650 feet altitude and sited on the `famous Dungey's Track'. It was built from `woollybutt log walls, bark roof, window, earth floor. Bunk accommodation for 8 people. Size 20x12. (6mx3.6m)' A plan shows bunks at one end and a fireplace at the other. A table and the door occupied the other walls{ ibid.: 271}. This hut now measures 6x3.8m and appears to be the same plan and basic log structure. Roy Weston's description from the same period placed it as 3.1/2 miles from Dibbin's and 6 miles from Lawler's Hut{ Stephenson (1982): 286}. The bark roof was maintained every 10 years but eventually was replaced with corrugated iron in 1968, along with some purlin saplings{ C Smith, DCNR, 1992 cites Holth: 136f}. Recent reconstruction work was carried out in 1993 but because original material was taken from the site, the intention to retain the existing wall logs and the door was thwarted and new logs were used{ DCNR file note from Ralph Whelan to Ted Stabb, 13.4.93}. The logs engraved with the names of the Blair children had gone{ ibid.}.
