He visited the small township of Drayton, settled by Thomas Alford in 1842, on 6 and 7 January, and probably stayed at the Royal Bull's Head Inn. A later Bull's Head Inn, erected nearby in 1859, still stands and is a historical landmark for the town.

Mount Tabletop was then known as One-tree Hill or ‘Wantry’ as the Indigenous people of the district called it. Here, in 1843, they waged a fierce battle against the squatters, retreating to the safety of an adjacent mountain and rolling stones down upon the settlers. This incident was later called the Battle of One-tree Hill. Print friendly version
