They moved there shortly before Timothy’s death in 1896.

Timothy's son, James Buckley built the original part of the farmhouse 'Seaview', at the site we know as Killalea State Park. The original house was a rough timber sawn home built of pitsaw and ironbark, and in 1912, the rest of the house was added. James also reputedly built some of the stone walls at the farm. James farmed 'Seaview' prior to the Fraser family. James served as Mayor of Shellharbour for many years.
