The "Hobart Town Courier" 26 June 1854 p.2 col.6 (reporting English news) noted: On Saturday morning, April 1, a very destructive fire occurred at Smelmore Farm, in the occupation of Mr. Lovelock, at Chively, near Newbury, which consumed the entire homestead, five valuable horses, and other live stock. The loss of farm produce is very considerable. It is supposed to be the work of some incendiary. with best wishes Dianne Snowden Richmond Tasmania (Aus).
