LOCKINGTON
& DISTRICT LIVING HERITAGE COMPLEX
Website: Heritage
Complex Web Site Hello
Everyone! It has been a relatively quiet fortnight at
the Heritage Complex. Attendance at the recent committee meeting was not
wonderful, but then it is winter and the weather is cold. Things will no doubt improve in the weeks
to come. With no current news to report, it seemed
that this would be a very good opportunity to share with you some more recollections of
early Lockington. Earlier this year, about seventy Weller
descendants gathered at the Lockington Recreation Reserve for a family reunion which
celebrated the 90th anniversary of the arrival in Lockington of John and
Clara (nee Kidd) Weller. This year also marked the 160th
anniversary of the arrival of the first of the Weller family
to immigrate to The following reminiscences are from
Gordon Weller’s memories of what he was told of the family’s story. He recorded these
especially for the reunion. They give us some idea of what Lockington was,
and how it developed. We thank Gordon and Joy for sharing them with us. Weller Reminiscences recalled by Gordon
Weller in 2009 The Weller family first owned land at Kangaroo Grounds in 1856, and built a pub
and a store. John Alexander Weller, born in 1867, was
one of ten children five girls and five boys. Their parents were Edward
Weller and his wife, Mary (nee Band). Edward died when John was sixteen. John trained as a blacksmith and had a
fondness for animals and an interest in farming. His first wife died prematurely,
leaving him with four young children, and he later married Clara Kidd. Together they moved from Kangaroo Grounds
to Thomastown, and from there on to a share dairy farm at Korumburra. John
and Clara had nine surviving children, when the family was advised to move north to drier country
for health reasons. Their daughter Ruby had T.B. At the time, farms were being advertised
as part of the Bamawm Closer Settlement Scheme. Land for this Scheme had been
resumed by the Australian government at a cost of two pounds per acre. The relevant purchase
lease (31 Years) with a one in one water right was ten pounds per acre. John
Weller submitted an application, and was one of the few Australian-born
applicants to be successful. He was allocated Section A, Allotment 17, Parish
of Bamawm. In 1918, John Weller arrived by train at
the Bamawm railway station. The town, at that time known only as
‘Bamawm Railway Station’, consisted of one house, Dycer`s, in
Barton Street and one tent, Cummin`s, in Burns Street,
though the streets at that stage were unnamed. In 1921, the town was named
Lockington. Mrs Dycer invited John in for a cup of tea. The Weller children
who subsequently moved to Lockington were Cora (later to become Mrs Raper),
Ruby, Harold, Mabel (who became Mrs Dumont), Cliff,
Arthur, Kevin, and Muriel (later Mrs Neale). Mervyn was born after their
arrival in the district. Unfortunately, relocation did not solve Ruby’s
health problem and she passed away about twelve months after the family moved. John Weller’s allotted farm had
been a part of Robert Archibald`s holding. The original house was of
weatherboard construction and it had a “huge kitchen and huge fire
place which could take a huge log”. The roof was timber shingles, covered by galvanised iron.
There was also a straw-thatched shed that acted as a stable, as well as
shelter for hundreds of sparrows. (Gordon Weller’s early memories of
the farm include a log fence, which indicated that a mass of timber had been
cleared along and around the major depression that runs through the property. When re-fencing the land in the
late 1950s, Gordon’s family found a one hundred and eight acres, of
which one hundred were registered
as suitable and commendable for irrigation. The soil types on the farm were
not appropriate for horticultural land, and were more suited to pasture than
lucerne. The exception was the sandpit paddock bump. In the 1920s, Harold and
Arthur laid this section out for irrigation, using a buckboard to grade and check-bank. It was watered once a
month and then cut the following week. The carrying capacity of the farm was
thirty milkers in a good year, and its size was increased in the 1920s, when
a further 20 acres was purchased from “Cobbetts” In 1928,
Gordon’s Grandmother Clara Weller had the had come to construct irrigation channel
extensions via Kotta, and west of the Weller’s new undertaking also
provided employment for her two daughters, Cora and Mabel. Fresh vegetables
for use in the Jimmy Goon, who in those days ran a
market garden on about three acres of the Weller farm at the site of the
present easterly town dam. At that time, other residents in Lockington also
obtained their fresh vegetables from this source. There is quite a bit more
of Gordon’s story, but we will leave some for next
time. ‘Bye for now, Marg O’Brien. REPORT

The Induction of three new members at District Governor Les Harrison and Lions Lady Robyn’s visit was a great start to our year. The introduction of Junior Debating at Long serving members Ian Palmer and Ray Mustey were presented with the Melvin Jones Fellowship Award and the Chris August Award in that order. The awards were well deserved. Visitation to surrounding Lions Clubs and the
Annual Combined Social with Elmore and Rochester Clubs was most enjoyable.
Lions also attended the 40th Charter Anniversary of Stanhope and Rochester Clubs.
Guest speakers were of great value to our dinner meetings and were well
received by members. I was indeed privileged to introduce my brother Maurice
to the members. He has spent the past 52 years in the mission field in The proposed “Men’s Shed’ was well supported by Lions. The V6 District Foundation site at the Elmore Field Days was staffed part time by Lockington Lions. The bush fire tragedy brought out the best in our community with local members of the Fire Brigade going to the front and the Lions Club making a substantial donation. Individual Lions also made generous contributions. A Lockington family lost their possessions in a house fire. Lions initiated an appeal and Lions V6 District Foundation donated $2 500.00 within 24 hours. The family was extremely grateful for the assistance. Lions celebrated their 35 Year Charter Anniversary by taking Lions Ladies to dinner. Without our Lions Ladies, Lions could not function. The continuing drought conditions and scarcity of irrigation water has caused much hardship throughout the district and beyond. Lions have helped where ever possible and we all look forward to better days. President Frank Dullard Lockington
