THOMAS SULLIVAN - & his sister Margaret upon their arrival in Sydney got a lift with a bullock team to Coolac, settled for a while then walked all the way to Tumut where the first people they met with were “The Ryans”.

Upon arrival records show that he apparently travelled straight to Tumut Plains, via Tumut.

Thomas tried his luck at the Kiadra Gold Diggings but did not stay long.

He first took up land at "Forest Camp," Tumut Plains and in 1861 purchased 40 acres from Mr W ILett (ILest) which formed his home and the nucleus of large productive holdings of later years, adding to it from time to time.

In about 1860 the next move was to purchase rich farming land on both sides of the Tumut River in the Blowering Valley. No doubt this would have been in the Robertson Land Act introduction period of time when the Blowering Valley was split up and the Station was to become much smaller. As it happened Thomas and his wife Ellen were to stay in the valley for about 70 years and became very prosperous and eventually sold out in about 1930.
