| - Notes: John Bowman had a selection of an extensive area at Currangorambla station (now Currango) in 1837. He is reputed to have discovered the arch of the Glory Cave at Yarrangobilly in 1834 whilst searching the valley of the Yarrangobilly River for cattle. It is also believed that in 1840 Stewart Mowle and Terence Aubrey Murray, whilst engaged defining the watershed of the Murrumbidgee River and the Dividing Range also came across the arch of the Glory Cave.
While John Bowman and his wife were residing at Currangorambla Station their daughter Catherine Bowman was born. Catherine afterwards married Tom Morris of Spring Flat near Talbingo on the Kiandra Road. Tom Morris was well known because of the stone fences constructed by him and the water race which irrigated the land, but this historical landmark is now submerged by the waters of the Blowering Dam. |
