== History at Bontherambo Plains before the KellyGang ==

<blockquote>First taken up in 1838 by George and William [[Faithfull's Creek (2)|Faithfull]].

It was licensed to the '''Rev Joseph [[Properties|Docker]]''' later in 1838. The run was bounded in the west by the Ovens River district line of 12 1/2 miles river frontage from the Port Phillip Road to within half a mile of the station of Joseph [[Boorhaman at kellyGang|Bould]]; on the north by a 13 mile line drawn from that station to Black Dog Creek, one mile east of J Gullifer's station, thence on the north east by Black Dog Creek to the Port Phillip Road 8 miles adjoining the runs of WF Baker and Agnes Reid. The run was about 100,000 acres. [[!!FIXME \homeReference.html|!!MISSING]]

In 1876 the license was held by Charles James Read and the half yearly license fee was £287 10 00 , one of the largest fee
