KWOBRUP FARMS 1913

There should be a considerable amount of wheat trucked from Kwobrup Siding after harvest, as there is a large area of new, as well as old ground, in crop this year.

On the north side of the line Mr. Woollett has over 500 acres in crop, Mr. Philp (Fairclough's farm), about 400 acres; Messrs. L and E. G. Mills, about 300 acres; Mr. H. Benson, 158 acres; and on the south, side Messrs. Gill Bros, 200 acres; Mr. Biltoft, 200 acres; Mr. A. Morrell, 128 acres; Messrs. Comford and Parker, 150 acres; Mr. Holm, 125 acres; Mr. Nagel, over 100 acres; Mr. Newman, 100 acres; Mr. Reeves, about 200 acres.

Then there are Messrs. Hill, O’Toole, Hettner, Sudlow, Hinckley and Stewart Bros., with considerable areas under crop.

(“Stewart Bros refers to Tom and Sam Stewart, the property first named ‘Clontarf’, later named ‘Wendouree’. Sam and Tom farmed together at Clontarf for around 10 years before Tom moved to the Soldier Settlement at Pallinup in 1924")
