Notes

  • Epigraph: Spoken in the person of Thomas Boyd, the first white man who crossed the Murray River, and last surviving member of Hume and Hovell's expedition. Referring to his death, an Albury paper of April, 1885, contained the following : 'He died in a wretched bark hut, attended by a sickly daughter, and but scantly furnished with the bare necessities of life. He was a brave and honourable man and a good specimen of the old Australian pioneer'.
