DESCRIPTION

Title'Oakvale', 317 Calderwood Road, CalderwoodPhoto Number005449Datec.2003Description‘Oakvale’ was first occupied by William & Jane Thomas in 1875 (190 acres). The Thomas home was a place where visiting Ministers were made welcome for a meal or to stay overnight, a privilege shared for many years with their lifelong friends, the Armstrong’s.

Lucerne was grown on the farm with a great deal of success, as one paddock was cut with a scythe for over 30 years without having to be re-sown. The cattle were milking Shorthorns and were established first on Cole blood-lines and then for many years bulls from O’Gorman’s stud were used.

William Thomas died in 1912 and his wife Jane in 1924, and are both buried at Marshall Mount Cemetery.
