William Hundy
​1816-1899

Chapter 3 - The Emancipist: ‘On His Own Hands’
Picture
'A plan of the survey undertaken of the Meroo Creek tributaries in early 1843 shows the catchment of Campbell’s Creek, or Guigong Creek as it was also known, and reveals the limited extent of settlement in the area at the time. The only infrastructure identified on the plan consists of two sets of sheep yards, one at “Kellaris”, held by Timothy Kirwin, and the other on country at the top of the creek which would later be taken up by William Hundy. A track to “Suttor’s Sheep station” and Married Man’s Creek in the vicinity of “Warratra” is the only other note to identify European settlement of the valley.'
