== History at Quat Quatta before the KellyGang ==
First taken up by [[Properties|David Reid]] in [[1824-1853 Events|1840]] but he abandoned it.
Thomas [[Properties|Hyland]] (Hyland of Borthers) took it up in 1841. Thomas Hyland passed it on to Matthew Hyland in 1847 who sold it 1858 to [[Properties|Greene]].
It was purchased by Messers George and [[Properties|James Day]] and D P [[Properties|Keogh]].
In 1860 litigation finally defined the boundaries of Quat Quatta and adjoining properties. In 1865 Donald [[Properties|Ferguson]] was the lessee.
In 1870 Samuel [[Properties|Bowler]] did not pay the lease fee and loss possession.
The run was sold to Mr [[Properties|Swift]] of Tumut but it seems that he sold it in short time to John Ettershank.
The place was then owned by the Bank of New South Wales in 1875 and sold to Hon J A [[Properties|Wallace]] (he was a gold buyer who often carrying as much as two thousand ounces on a led horse without any guards) ([[Recollections of a Victorian Police Officer Chapter XVI page 1|Chomley]]) ([[Recollections of a Victorian Police Officer Chapter VI page 1|Sadleir]])
