== History at Adjie before the KellyGang ==

<blockquote>First taken up by overlanders from New South Wales in [[1824-1853 Events|1839]]. The name can also be spelt Adgie. It was later called '''Colac Colac'''. First taken up by JJ [[Properties|Howell]] and the '''Hassall''' brothers. (12.800 acres) Later the property was owned by the '''[[Properties|Hervey]]''' brothers and '''[[Properties|Joseph Hanson]]''' and '''[[Properties|James Wheeler]]''',

(James Wheeler's father was Charles Wheeler (alias Walker) who was a convict transported for the theif of a heifer in 1812 (He was tried at the Old Bailey). He arrived in Sydney in 1813 aboard the Fortune (2) and resided in Cawdor and later Cobbitty NSW.

James Wheeler was born in 1831 (at Cobbitty NSW). In 1833 Charles married James' mother a widow named Mary Hanson (she had arrived in 1828 on the Borneo with a son - Joseph Hanson).

In the late 1830's Joseph Hanson travelled to the Upper Murray and was later followed by a 13 year old James. They took up the [[Nariel|Nariel Run]] on behalf of Charles Wheeler. Charles and Mary followed accompanied by the rest of their children (Sarah, Mary Ann, Charles, William, Alice and George). Alice married TB Waters another famous Corryong pioneer. James and Joseph later take up the Colac Colac run. Colac Colac was owned by the Wheeler family for many years.

In 1876 the license was held by Joseph Hanson and James Wheeler and the half yearly license fee was £93 15 00
