North Coastal - 1833

Mrs Felton Mathew, on a visit to Marramarra Creek with her surveyor husband on 3^rd August writes “then appeared a miserable hut of rough logs covered with bark, from whence issued a number of dogs barking … and then the inhabitants; two old men and a woman with child in her arms … These dreary solitudes might serve for the abode of a misanthrope so utterly are they secluded from all approach and so entirely destitute of all comfort”. (Richmond 2003)

Location:

Biddy Lewis’ farm, Marramarra Creek
