    3. Follow are Edited bits only out of the advertisment on Page 2 Supplement to Maitland Mercury October 21 1854 A number of occupiers are mentioned and there are lots of details in the ad which can be found by downloading the page from http://www.nla.gov.au/ferg/ Does anyone have details on the two "mansions" mentioned in the advert for the sale of Louth Park in 1854. Could the Tannery house have been called Yarrabong & situated near the bridge over Wallis Creek or is the bridge area called Yarrabong Does the house still stand ???? Does anyone know of any drawings/pictures of it? Is this still rural area or built up?
