Mudgee: Community Technology Centres: About Our Area
One of Australia's most famous poets and shortstory writers, Henry Lawson (1867-1922),had very strong ties to Mudgee. His parents were married here in 1866.
http://mudgee.communitytechnology.net.au/about_ctc/

Extractions: About Our CTC CTC Services News What's On ... HOME History Interesting and important town with a number of historic buildings 'Mudgee' reputedly derives from the Wiradjuri Aboriginal term 'Moothi' meaning 'nest in the hills'. This is a suitable title as Mudgee is an attractive town of fine old buildings, located in the broad, picturesque and fertile Cudgegong River Valley. Surrounded by hills of green and blue, it is situated 265 km north-west of Sydney, 470 m above sea-level and has a current population of around 7500. The area is noted for its fine wool, beef, fat lambs, cereal crops, lucerne, vegetables, vineyards and honey. There is also a coal mine at Ulan, a large export abattoir, a livestock exchange and numerous horse, sheep and cattle studs. The first European in the immediate vicinity was James Blackman who headed north to the Mudgee area from what is now Wallerawang in 1821, becoming the first European to cross the Cudgegong River. It is known that he had a slab building on the townsite by 1837. Once Blackman proved the route passable William Lawson, who had failed in an earlier attempt, travelled north to Mudgee where he found some excellent grazing land. Lawson had been a member of the first European party to cross the Blue Mountains in 1813 and was then commandant of Bathurst. He later took up 6000 acres along the Cudgegong River.

http://www.blahdeblahdeblah.com/loaded_dog.htm

Extractions: Sally's Stuff! The Loaded Dog by Henry Lawson (1867-1922) From Joe Wilson and His Mates Henry Lawson is regarded as Australia's greatest poet. In the days when poetry recital was a popular pastime, his works were distributed far and wide. He was a brilliant, sad, lonely man whose biography would bring tears to the most hard-hearted soul. This story, however, will bring tears of a different nature. D ave Regan, Jim Bently, and Andy Page were sinking a shaft at Stony Creek in search of a rich gold quartz reef, which was supposed to exist in the vicinity. There is always a rich reef supposed to exist in the vicinity; the only questions are whether it is ten feet or hundreds beneath the surface, and in which direction. They had struck some pretty solid rock, also water, which kept them bailing. They used the old-fashioned blasting powder and time fuse. They'd make a sausage or cartridge of blasting-powder in a skin of strong calico or canvas, the mouth sewn and bound round the end of the fuse; they'd dip the cartridge in melted tallow to make it water-tight, get the drill hole as dry as possible, drop in the cartridge with some dry dust, and wad and ram with stiff clay and broken brick. Then they'd light the fuse and get out of the hole and wait. The result was usually an ugly pothole in the bottom of the shaft and half a barrow-load of broken rock. T D

Extractions: Details Images Historical References Cultural events Population External Links A - Z Index Australian Places Homepage Grenfell is a town (and separate municipality, 1883-1975) 270 km. west of Sydney, on the western edge of the Great Dividing Range. It is on Emu Creek. In 1866 a shepherd noticed gold in an outcrop of stone on a hill above Emu Creek. The discovery site became Grenfell, and the discoverer's name, O'Brien, is commemorated as O'Brien's Hill. The following year a town was surveyed and named in honour of T.C. Grenfell, a goldfield commissioner who had been murdered by bushrangers the year before. During 1867 prospecting extended southwards along Emu Creek and the track to Young. It was called the One Mile, and in that year and place Louisa Lawson gave birth to Henry Lawson (1867-1922), Australian poet and short-story writer. The place, Lawson Park, is marked with a monument and each year since 1958 Grenfell has had the annual Henry Lawson Arts Festival,. The Grenfell gold field reached its peak in a few years and by 1870 was running down. The population in 1873 was about 3,000. By 1875 many miners had departed to work more profitable sites and The Australian Handbook described Grenfell as - THIS ENTRY NOT YET AVAILABLE Wheat was first grown for sale in Grenfell in 1871, and by the 1880s it had become the district's most important product. Maize, oats, potatoes and hay were also grown. A hospital was built in 1880, a mechanics institute in 1882 and a municipality of just 360 acres proclaimed in 1883. It was the smallest in rural New South Wales.

Extractions: Henry Lawson Know Your Australia ~ Australian Writers Henry Lawson (1867-1922) Australian poet and writer Henry Lawson's difficulties in life shaped his writings and are what makes them an inspiration to many Australians. Henry Lawson was born in 1867, on a goldfield in rural New South Wales where his father was a miner. The family was very poor and although he didn't get a good education, his mother made sure he had books to read. Lawson's life was difficult from the beginning. At age 9 he went partially deaf as a result of an ear infection. That progressed until at age 14 he was totally deaf. As a shy, sensitive child growing up, he was tormented by children at school. As a result, Henry became a loner spending his time watching instead of being involved with those around him. This provided the pattern for his life and the reason his poems, many feel, capture the Australian way of life. Lawson's life was filled with disappointments and he became a bitter man. It was through his writing that he was able to express his feelings about the hardships of bush life, love won and lost, and living in a world that often confused him. Henry fell in love with Mary Gilmore, a fellow writer, but she refused his marriage proposal. Years later in 1896 he married Bertha Bredt and had two children. An unhappy marriage, they separated and he started drinking heavily. His sadness became a theme in many of his poems.

Food procurement was usually a matter for the nuclear family and was very demanding, since there was little large game and they had no agriculture. Australia may have been sighted by Portuguese sailors in 1601, and Captain Cook claimed it for the United Kingdom in 1770.

His first big success was 'Clancy of the Overflow' which appeared in 1889. Paterson was born 17 February 1864, at Narambla, New South Wales. He was the son of a Scottish immigrant and the eldest of seven children. His younger years were spent near Yass in NSW. He attended Sydney Grammar School, but left at the age of 16. Paterson sat unsuccessfully for a university scholarship and entered a lawyer's office as an articled clerk - later becoming managing clerk and then a partner in the firm, Street and Paterson. Banjo Paterson was commissioned by the Sydney Morning Herald and became a successful journalist and war correspondent during the Boer War in 1899, and the Boxer Rebellion in China, in 1901.

Henry Lawson (Courtesy National Library of Australia). Henry Lawson (18671922)Henry Lawson is one of Australia's best known writers.
http://www.curriculum.edu.au/democracy/biographies/hlawson.htm

Extractions: Henry Lawson is one of Australia's best known writers. He was the son of Louisa Lawson, who is famous for working for women's rights. Henry often wrote about the hard lives of poor country people in Australia. His own life was a hard one, starting with his birth in a bark hut with a dirt floor. The family had very little money and Lawson's father was often away. Lawson's stories were very popular and taught city people a lot about life in the country. Some people could not understand why he wrote about such ordinary Australians but most people enjoyed the mixture of humour and sadness in his stories. His life is honoured in street and park names in many places, including Sydney. The town of Lawson in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales is named after him. His picture has also appeared on stamps.
