Research into Barbiston and William Grant, and then a "Hopetoun,Tullamarine" search led me to the man who changed his name. As I have spent countless hours trying to rediscover articles previously read, I prefer to use material as soon as I find it.

PLANE DEALER REPORTS U.S. OFFER FOR A.N.A.
The general manager of A.N.A., Mr.F.F.Kaye, said in Melbourne last night that he wrote to Mr Howitt on August 2, acknowledging the offer. (P.1, Sydney Morning Herald, August 9, 1957.)

On 23-8-1857, Ansett-A.N.A.came into existence.

THE STORY.
When I saw "Kowarzic" (sic)in Broadmeadows rates replacing the Wrights on the northern half of Viewpoint, I idly thought that the name would be more likely to be found on the Triangular Estate (bounded by today's Melrose Dr.,Broadmeadows Rd and Sharps Rd/Caterpillar Dr.)where many migrants settled in the 1950's.Then I found the same person assessed on "Strathconan" across today's Mickleham Rd from Freight Rd to just north of the freeway.

The Fannings have lived on "Sunnyside" (south corner of Loemans and Bulla-Diggers Rest Rd) for over 150 years. You can find all about the Fannings on Kathleen Fanning's wonderful FANNING FAMILY website. Ed. Fanning told me much of the Fanning story and that of Tullamarine Island almost two decades ago. After his school days, Ed. worked at Essendon Aerodrome and out of the blue he mentioned a fellow called Kowarzik who lived on the way to the aerodrome, was general manager of A.N.A., was persuaded to change his name and was ditched by Reg. Ansett when Ansett A.N.A. was established. Oral history can lead to mistakes but without Ed's story, I would never have been able to trace Frederic's name change as illustrated above!

In about 1950 there were only four properties between the road to old Broadmeadows Township (Westmeadows) and the Moonee Ponds Creek from the Albion-Jacana railway bridge. They were Peter Cowan's dairy farm, "Gowanbrae", Palmer and Kowarzic on half each of "Viewpoint" and "Gladstone Park".

COWAN. - On August 30, at a private hospital, Moreland, Olive Beatrice, dearly beloved wife of Peter Cowan, of Gowan Brae, Tullamarine, late of Temora,N.S.W., and loving mother of Newell, Colin, Allan (deceased),
Jean (Mrs. Boon), and Olive (Mrs.Hayman), aged 68 years.(P.15,Argus,1-9-1955.)


The Cowan farm extended north to include Camp Hill Park opposite Green's corner (today's 711 garage.)

Charles Palmer's southern half of Viewpoint was formerly John Mansfield's "Grandview".

On Account of Mr. JOHN MANSFIELD,"Grandview," Junction of Bulla and Broadmeadows Road, TULLAMARINE.
(P.2, Argus,27-3-1917.)
Charles Palmer had bought 166 acres south of Gladstone Park in 1945 32 pounds 10 shillings per acre and in 1958 Stanley Korman bought his farm at 500 pounds per acre. Ansell and Cowen's(sic) dairy farm to the south was bought by a Korman company at an even more inflated price.(P.195 BROADMEADOWS;A FORGOTTEN HISTORY.)
Korman had the four properties mentioned previously but went broke so when I started the Kindergarten Association paper drive in about 1972, Charles' widow,living in the old timber homestead north of the Shawlands Dr. corner was a most friendly and hospitable supplier of papers. The Kowarzik half of Viewpoint included Scampton Drive and adjoined "Gladstone Park" at the Lackenheath Dr. corner.The boundaries of Strathconan have been described earlier.

THE STORY.
Extracts from my EARLY LANDOWNERS: PARISH OF TULLAMARINE.
ABRAHAM HODGKINSON.
Abraham Hodgkinson was the 3rd mate on the ?Royal Consort? which left for Australia on 9-11-1843 and arrived on 18-2-1844. He was paid L8/19/6 for his duties, which indicates that he did not jump ship as many sailors did a decade later during the gold rush. On board as passengers were Thomas Faithfull 37, his wife Mary Ann 39, and their children: Harriet Ruby 19, Sarah Amelia 17, Henry 14, Jane 11, Moses 8, William 4 and Thomas 2. The Faithfull family must have soon arrived in this area for when their eighth and last child, Anne, was born on 9-6-1846 the birth was registered at Bulla.
Now it seems that Abraham Hogkinson, about 31 during the voyage out, was using his time off duty for more than sleeping. A certain 19 year old lass had caught his eye and he was to marry Harriet on 10-2-1850. Abraham was to live only nine years after his marriage but fathered eight children because he started early! Did they elope? The registrations of his childrens? births indicate his whereabouts before buying land on Tullamarine Island:
Ester b. Moonee Ponds* & d. Melbourne 1845, Maria b. Gippsland 1848, William b. Keilor 1849, Marian b.1851 and Sarah b.1853 at Jordans Creek (up Castlemaine way), Thomas b.1855 Tullamarine, Harriet b.1857 Flemington (may have needed special medical care for the birth), Abraham b.1860 Tullamarine (d.1861.)
(*This meant anywhere along the Moonee Ponds Creek.)

Several of Thomas Faithfull?s children married people who were or became residents on or near Tullamarine Island. The first, Harriet Ruby, married Abraham Hodgkinson on 10-2-1850, probably as the result of a Love Boat romance. Abraham was 3rd mate on the Royal Escort, on which the Faithfulls sailed to Australia in 1853-4, and must have made an impression on the 19 year old Harriet. Sarah Amelia married Henry Mildenhall who bought land from Abe Hodgkinson. Ann married David Mansfield of Roseleigh (later Glenalice just north of the e-w runway) just west of Deep Creek. The third daughter, Jane, married George Nicholls .
Henry Mildenhall is called Harry in title documents so it is possible that George Nicholls was the R.G.Nichols who bought lot 6 on section 10 for 120 pounds on 23-8-1854 and sold it to William Sharp(Harriet?s second husband) for only 60 pounds on 29-6-1865.(16 196 and 159 339)
Ann McArthur, who married William Faithfull, may have been a daughter of Peter McArthur, the grantee of the 338 acre ?Glenarthur?, which is now covered by the western half of the Greenvale Reservoir. Two of Harriet?s children, Thomas and Harriet Hodgkinson married locals:Harriet Bedford (lots 1-3 section 10) and Alexander Robb (lots 49-51 on 13B, east bank of Deep Creek.)

SECTION 11.
11 A. BULLA PARK.
Allotment A of section 11 was known to Bob Blackwell as Bulla Park. Its southern boundary, along Loemans Rd, is given in documents as 80 chains (a mile) but Melway shows it as 85 chains. This could be because the original survey was wrong or because Loemans Rd was moved 5 chains to the east at a later time. Its western boundary was 62.25 chains and its eastern boundary extended 40 chains north along Loemans Rd to the bend.
Thomas Faithfull bought the 333 acres from the grantees (Cay, Chapman and Kaye) for 1665 pounds on 26-7-1852. (21 821) On 10-9-1854, Thomas conveyed the eastern half of the allotment to his son, Moses, for L832/10/-. Its southern boundary went west 45 chains from the south east corner to compensate for the eastern boundary being only half a mile. (21 822)
Thomas kept the western half, which had a southern boundary of only 35 chains but its western boundary extended 62.25 chains north to the Saltwater River. He mortgaged it to Catherine McKinnon for 200 pounds on 16-5-1855 (26 587) and to John Catto for 200 pounds on 23-5-1857. (49 256) Moses mortgaged his portion to McKinnon for 200 pounds on 20-5-1857. (49 258)

THE FACTS.

SECTION No. 1, Tullamarine, tho property of Donald Cameron, Esq. Purchasers at the late auction sale by Mr. Dalmahoy Campbell, are hereby informed that a surveyor from the office of the undersigned will be in
attendance on Friday morning next, at 9 o'clock, to show their respective lots, which are now being pegged out. CHARLES LAING," surveyor, No. 20 Swanston-street, 21st February, 1854. 2151 24
(P.7, Argus, 24-2-1854.)

THE STORY.
Most of the early story of section 1, Tullamarine is told in my journal HOW GLENGYLE BECAME ARUNDEL.

In his architectural thesis on Arundel (circa 1960), K.B.Keeley stated that Richard Hanmer Bunbury, the grantee of the 907 acre estate on 9-1-1843, had acted as a dummy for Cameron and soon sold it to him. It would seem to be Donald Cameron who called it the Glengyle Estate. With a whole shipload of Camerons arriving in early times,it is unwise to speculate too much but Donald may have been an early squatter whose sheep had scab and wandered off infecting other flocks in the parish of Bolinda,according to Isaac Batey. He also may have been the grantee of "Stoney Fields" near Somerton, later renamed Ruthvenfield by his family and later again, Roxborough Park by Brunton.

Title memorials show that, almost immediately after a property was bought,it was mortgaged in most cases and that when it was cleared another mortgage would be take place. This was most likely the reason that Donald Cameron had been forced to sell off portions of section 1 as mentioned above by the surveyor. That obviously did not help him much because mortgagees were advertising what would seem to be the remaining portion in 1855.

Sales by Auction.
MONDAY, 18th JUNE.
To Farmers, Graziers, Hotelkeepers, Speculators and Others.
A Valuable Farm on the Saltwater River, near Keilor, Parish of Tullamarine, containing 468A. IR. 36P.
Also,The Caledonian Hotel, situated at Prahran. By Order of the Mortgagees.
SYMONS and PERRY have received instructions from the mortgagees to sell by public auction, at the Commercial Sales Room, on Monday, 18th inst., at twelve o'clock sharp,Without tho slightest Reserve,
All that valuable farm well known as the Glengyle Farm, Containing 468A. lR .36P., more or less, situated on the Saltwater River, being portion of the estate the property of Donald Cameron.Esq., being part of portion No. 1, parish of Tullamarine. There are from 150 to 200 acres in cultivation on the above farm, which are chiefly under crop, and the land is well known that, for richness of soil is unsurpassed by any in the colony.
(P.2, Argus, 12-6-1855.)

It was K.B.Keeley's contention that Bunbury had named Arundel and that Edward Wilson had sold off parts of the estate but as the above shows, Cameron named it Glengyle and sold off the portions that became Turner's, Ellengowan and Arundel.

The Glengyle Estate later formed most of the Arundel Closer Settlement except the eastern 1987 links (397 metres) of lots 7 and 8 (later Joe (Butcher) Thomas's "Tullamar") the eastern 4050 links (810 metres) of Alf Cock's"Glenview" on lot 10, and lot 9,known as Geraghty's Paddock.
