FOREWORD THERE is one disadvantage in being a pioneer—the just appreciation, which is jour due, comes about one hundred years after your death. Governor Phillip when he explored the Hawkesbury in 1789 was moved to designate it 'so noble a river', and, in the years to come, his successors had reason to endorse this opinion, for the banks of the river were the granary of the infant settlement.

It is with the pioneers who opened the way, and with the men who followed and built and tended the pleasant town of Windsor on the noble river's bank that Mr. Steele's book deals. He has expended much time and labour in gathering his material and in disinterring from the somewhat dusty chambers of the past the names and deeds of men who 'deserve to live.' For these services Mr. Steele deserves the success which I am sure this book will command. BERTIE, Past-President, Australian Historical Society.

Sydney, November, 1915. PREFACE ALL who would know the early history of Australia must perforce know something of its first granary, the Green Hills, afterwards known as Windsor. The substance of this volume ran through the columns of the Windsor and Richmond Gazette between August, 1914, end February, 1915. The Articles have been the subject of considerable correspondence, both in the local paper and direct to the author. By this means valuable revisions and additions have been made. Errors there may be, but every effort has been made to verify the data.

The authorities consulted will be found at the end of the book, but I cannot close my studies of Old Windsor without again thanking the many correspondents who have assisted me, and especially Mr. John Tebbutt, F.R.A.S., the grand old man of Windsor, and Mr. Henry Selkirk, of the Lands Department, and for several years a kindly neighbour in Killara. The Manse, Windsor, 1st September, 1915 'I have read the articles on the 'Early Days of Windsor', by the Rev. James Steele. 'As a native of Windsor, with a clear recollection of the past seventy-five years, I may say that the author has spared no pains to make his statements accurate and reliable. 'His work will supply a felt want, in the literature of Windsor, and it should prove very acceptable to all lovers of the Hawkesbury districts.

'As years roll on it will certainly become an invaluable work of reference on all matters connected with the district.' JOHN TEBBUTT, F.R.A.S. Observatory, Peninsula, Windsor, N.S. 18 CONTENTS CHAPTER I. Thompson, Fitzgerald, Arndell, Mileham, Bell, Brabyn, Youl, Fulton, Cartwright, Cox, Dight.

[ILLUSTRATIONS] CHAPTER I. HAWKESBURY AND GREEN HILLS. T HE history of the Hawkesbury District between the years 1788 and 1794 consists of the discovery, exploration and naming of the river and its tributaries, among them the McDonald and the Colo Rivers, by Governor A.

Phillip and Captains Collins, Johnston, Watkin, and Tench. These and others made several successive visits to the Hawkesbury River, reaching as far as Richmond Hill. In the year 1794 Lieut.-Governor Major Grose placed the first twenty-two settlers along the banks of the Hawkesbury River and South Creek, railed then Ruse's Creek, as James Ruse, the man who first grew wheat at Parramatta, had a grant of land at the junction of that stream with the Hawkesbury. The following year many more families were settled, and as the natives were troublesome, some troops from the N.S.W.

Corps were sent up, and the settlement of Windsor, then called Green Hills, was fairly launched. It is of interest to note that Lieutenant Grose was the son of Captain Grose, concerning whose peregrinations through Scotland the poet Burns wrote: A chiel's amang you takin' notes, And faith he'll print it. The earliest Hawkesbury Crown grants included those to Samuel Wilcox, John Brindley, William Bond, John Ruffler, Alexander Wilson, and Whaelen.

These were on the Peninsula. Thomas Westmore and William Anderson, James Ruse, Ann Blady and Joseph Smallwood, in 1797. Thomas Riccaby, Robert Braithwaite and Dr.

William Balmain, in the years 1798-99. The Grants from the year 1800 to 1804 were as follows—Thomas Hobby, William Bates, Lydia Austen, Charles Marsden (900 acres), William Ezzy (130 acres), Henry Cox, and Andrew Thompson.

These may be easily located on the map of the Parish of St. Matthew, County of Cumberland. The grants for the same period made near Pitt Town were:—Messrs. Stogdell, Palmer, Hobbs, Diggers, Jones, Benn, Smallwood, Dr. Arndell (600 acres), McDaniel, and Wilbow. The present township of Pitt Town stands on portions of these grants, which had to be resumed for township purposes in 1810.

In 1796 Governor Hunter visited the district, and instructions were given to construct a road from Parramatta to the Hawkesbury, and soon after this road was placed under a Trust, Dr. Lord, and Andrew Thompson being appointed. A Government store was established in 1798, and placed in charge of William Baker, whose name is perpetuated in Baker Street, Windsor and Baker's Lagoon, near Richmond. This early store was situated somewhere near the present Thompson Square. Baker afterwards kept an hotel in Baker Street, known as the Royal Oak. The old Government House was also built about this time as a residence for Lieutenant Edward Abbott, commander of the troops for the N.S.W. Regular masters of all the settlers, both free and bond, were held from time to time, and separate records kept of men, women, and children belonging to each class—military, officers, civil officers, freemen, prisoners and settlers.

On account of distress caused by floods the Governor curtailed the sale of rum during the year 1798. About the year 1800 there appeared on the Hawkesbury a settler named Andrew Thompson, who played a leading part in the development of the district up to the time of his death in 1810. His history and numerous occupations are fully dealt with in another place. In the year 1802 the Gist bridge (a floating structure) was built over the South Creek. The same year efforts were made to grow rice, but with little success. Some good cedar trees were growing in the district, and settlers were prohibited from cutting them, as the Government claimed them all. Thomas Arndell and Charles Grimes, Deputy Surveyor, were appointed resident magistrates in 1802.

Grimes left the district in 1803, and was succeeded by Surveyor G.W. Evans, who remained here until 1815. During the years 1804-5 Governor King proclaimed the following Commons in the district:— Ham Common. Trustees: William Cox, John Bowman, Andrew Thompson, Edward Tutterill, William Minchin. Nelson Common. Trustees: Andrew Thompson, Thomas Biggars, Thomas Tyler. Richmond Hill Common.

Trustees: John Ryan, John Bowman, Andrew Thompson. Phillip Common. Trustees: Mathew Lock, Edward Robinson, Henry Baldwin. Later Trustees for Ham Common were: Abraham Cornwell, Robert Fitzgerald, George Bowman. As will be seen on reference to the articles on 'Schools and Churches' elsewhere, divine service was held at the Hawkesbury by Rev. Marsden, and others, at a very early date.

A school was also established at an early period, situated near South Creek, just behind the Court House. A covered waggon began to ply three times a week between Windsor and Sydney, starting on 9th February, 1805. To Parramatta, and 7s. The time occupied on the journey was sixteen hours, and William Roberts was the enterprising coachman. Ship and boat building was parried on at tins time along the banks of the Hawkesbury, to which reference is made in Chapter II.

The residents took an interest in the affairs of the colony in those early days. An address was presented by them to the Senior Chaplain, Rev. Marsden, on the occasion of his visiting England in 1807. Another address, signed by eight hundred and thirty-three residents, was presented to Governor Bligh, expressive of their confidence in his administration in the year 1808.

Governor Bligh, and his son-in-law, Captain Putland, had farms near Pitt Town, where Bligh's oaks may still be seen. The first Presbyterian Church was opened at Ebenezer in 1809. It is still used for Divine service, and is now the oldest church building in Australasia. For the first twenty-five or thirty years of the settlement of New South Wales, the Hawkesbury was looked upon as the granary of the colony.

When floods came the greatest anxiety was caused in Sydney and Parramatta, and floods were fairly frequent in those days. It was really the growth of grain, wheat and maize that led Governor Macquarie to lay out, among others, the town of Windsor, in order to preserve the produce being lost by inundations after it had been harvested.

We find, therefore, that several large granaries were built at the Green Hills, at first constructed of logs, and afterwards brick buildings of two and three stories. Here the grain was stored under Government supervision. The largest of these granaries stood on the present site of the School of Arts, and was used later as a military hospital. Another object of these grain depots was to better control the price of grain, as in times of scarcity the local farmers charged most exorbitant prices, and also tried to prevent importation.

The first era of the history of Green Hills ends here, and the second stage in its history as Windsor begins. Extract from Government and General Order, dated 15th December, 1810, issued on the return of his Excellency Governor Macquarie from an extensive tour of inspection through the various districts where agriculture and the breeding of cattle have occupied the attention of settlers.

Recognition of the importance of the middle years continues to grow as research consistently reveals the benefits young adolescents gain from programs designed especially for their needs.This third edition provides a systematic overview of the philosophy, principles and issues in middle schooling, but brings a new depth of focus to the emotional problems and behavioural challenges in working with middle years students. The editors, Donna Pendergast, Katherine Main and Nan Bahr, explore in detail two key areas in middle years pedagogy, differentiation and engagement and there are new chapters on achieving effective transition, an exploration of the importance of physical activity in adolescence, and an analysis of how to develop co-operative and collaborative learning.Featuring contributions from leading experts in the field and fully revised and updated to reflect the latest research, Teaching Middle Years will assist both pre- service and in-service teachers to bring out the very best in their students.'
