== What was Wanganella like in the late 1870's ==

William Brodribb gave a wonderful account of his early day at Wanganella in his book 'Recollections of an Australian Squatter 1835 -1883'; of buying sheep around Bathurst, travelling overland via places like Yass and Tumit, of his family living in a tent while he built a house, of the high cost of accommodation on the roads and sleeping in a tent, of taking the family on a trip to Melbourne, of wanting to return to the safety of the Maneroo, of the death of children, and, of the financial stress of being a squatter on Wanganella.

At this time the quick way to get from Wanganella to [[Goulburn NSW|Goulburn]] (both in New South Wales ) was as follows, [[Deniliquin|Deniliquin]], [[Echuca|Echuca]], [[Melbourne|Melbourne]], by ship to [[Sydney|Sydney]] then to Goulburn.

While Wanganella was first stocked with cattle but by this time it was stocked with sheep

Wire fences and dams were starting to being constructed ([[Australian Town and Country Journal at KellyGang 2/11/1872|See also T&amp;C2/11/1872]])

The town of Wanganella included the Wanganella Inn, built by Mr Brodribb and carried on by Mr Dillon, another hotel, a store carried on by Mr Monash, a school conducted by Mr M'Quade.
