- Ref:Uralla Visitor Information Centre European arrival into the Anaiwan area which was once 8300 square kilometres began with John Oxley in 1818, Allen Cunningham 1825, Charles Sturt 1831 and Thomas Mitchel 1831. News of the productivity for wool spread and large sheep stations were established by Edward Cory and Henry Dangar at Gostwyck by 1835 with the Marsh/Croft and Taylor families settling at Terrible Vale to the east. Henry and William Dumersq settled at Saumerez Station located to the north and the Hudsons settled at Balala Station to the west by 1860. Super fine wool flourished and continues to flourish at the highest world class level. Beef cattle were introduced and continue as a strong industry and major source of income for the region.
