| - Notes: George Mackay was born in 1837 and was a young man when he left the green hills of his birthplace for the attraction of making his fortune in the gold fields of Australia. In 1860 after his arrival on the ship Lady McDonald, George set forth to the booming Kiandra goldfields. He walked, carrying his worldly possessions on his back, from Kiama to Merimbula and on to Kiandra.
As a youth in Ireland George had learned the trade of shoemaking and during the day he delved and dug for the precious metal and at night worked till the small hours making boots for the miners. These were sold for the reasonable price of 20 shillings per pair (around $2.00). While at Kiandra George was joined by his brother Samuel who had sailed on the ship Peerless. After a successful time at Kiandra George proceeded to New Zealand and was later joined by Samuel on the goldfields of the West Coast of New Zealand. George then proceeded to Charters Towers in Queensland, however he contracted it fever and was compelled to return to Kiandra, where he was reunited with his brother Samuel. The brothers, after several years of fairly successful gold mining, joined in a store keeping business at Adaminaby (known in those days as Seymour). It was at this stage that George acquired the land on which he later built the Federal Hotel. After a term of business George selected 400acres of the Adaminaby plains on which he built his home Mountain View' and married Sarah Barrctt, the fourth daughter of George Barrctt of lnglewood'. Through perseverance, indomitable energy, and despite many setbacks, he gradually increased the size of Mountain View' to become quite a valuable property. George continued to selectland and acquired a portion of 'Rosedale' (now 'Bolaro'), which he later exchanged for a similar sized acreage on the Adaminaby plains. Frequently he l eft his family well before dawn to travel to Rosedale' (14 miles) to begin work at daybreak. George was delighted if his wool brought 6 pence per pound. All food for the homestead was bought in bulk, and the clothing made by the girls from large rolls of material. After many heated discussions with his bank manager concerning the intention to invest in land or build the Federal Hotel George won out and built the grand hotel in the heart of Adaminaby. It was burnt down after only a few years of operation and it was George's intention to rebuilt it but it is believed that his ill health did not allow this to happen. For many years George was an active member of the community, being a JP, a trustee for the School of Arts, showgrounds, racecourse, Church of England School and church lands. He took an active part promoting the success of these institutions and the district generally. George died at his homestead on November 17, 1917, in his 80th year. His five sons carried on the grazing tradition at 'Mountain View', which was divided between James with Homeleigh', George S. with Wyruna', David with Brick Villa', Samuel with Springwood', and Norman with the family home Contributor: Dr. J The Seeker (47214870) |
