== History at Woorajay before the KellyGang ==
First settled by David [[Properties|Reid]], in 1847 from [[Curraramungie|Curraramugie]].
In 1852 [[Gold Mining|gold]] was discovered in the May Day Hills, and the Ovens gold rush settlements of Beechworth, El Dorado, Woolshed, Sebastopol and Reid's Creek developed on Reid family land, ruining its pastoral value. For a time David sold meat to the miners and ran the mill, a store and a gold-buying business, but in 1853 sold his runs
