Anne From Violet Town 1836-1908 Pge 101 Upotipotpon started the gold era as a link in the chain of stations owned by Joseph Docker of the Ovens River, being run in conjunction with Emu Plains on the Broken River during 1853. The combined runs of Emu Plains - Upotipotpon were rated at 78,464 acres. In 1856 it was taken over by Thomas Bond to be run in conjunction with Stony Creek and Bungamero farther off. In 1874 both Stony Creek and Upotipotpon were taken over by the Turnbulls of the Broken River, James, George and Thomas Turnbull jun. were the licensees............ Page 105 Though divided for administrative purposes by 1858, the station appeared under the undivided "Honeysuckle" label in official lists until 1860, when George Turnbull's name appears as the licensee of the northern section. In 1861 Thomas Turnbull was shown as the licensee of Honeysuckle North and George Turnbull as the "superintendent" ................ page 117 Mrs Hoskins carefully listed inhabitants of the tiny township in 1857 .... All the other inhabitants of High Street as the SydneyRoad became, were on the south-east or hills side of the thoroughfare........... Coming from Melbourne along High Street, one passed the family house of William Harris, carrier. Do not know if this is of any help!
