Hi Lyn,

My reply: The only thing I know about the pub is that it was the scene of a
hold up in recent years, don't know which year. It's in a relatively remote
spot, on the other side of Joyce's Creek from where Campbelltown was, at the
junction of the Creswick-Newstead road with that going up the creek valley
through Strathlea (WW1 soldier settler area, named by Ruby Lees,
postmistress and wife of Ike, one of the settlers, gassed in the war).

The original pastoral run was Glengower, 41,280 acres, 10,000 sheep. 1 mile
n.e. of Campbelltown, (which wouldn't be far from the pub) 1839, Dugald
McLachlan, March 1854, Hugh Glass, Feb. 1866. Don. Campbell, Nov. 1869,
cancelled.
