Grazing land on Adelong Creek was first taken up by Thomas Hill Bardwell, and his Adelong Station extended from Adelong Crossing (Tumbalong) to Reedy Creek (Ritchie 1987). - (Ref- http://www.heritagearchaeology.com.au/Adelong.htm).

The explorers Hume and Hovell described Adelong and surrounds as "rough and difficult country", and white settlement of the area proved a slow affair. By the 1830s, 12,000-13,000 sheep were grazed along the Murrumbidgee River. David Johnson established Adelong Creek station there in 1848. Likewise, Thomas Hill Bardwell's "Adelong Station" was founded in late 1825, shortly after the Hume and Hovell expedition passed though the region, and covered an area in those early days extending from Tumblong to Batlow. - (Ref- http://www.historyaustralia.org.au/ifhaa/towns/adelong.htm).

1884 - THE LATE MR. THOMAS HILL BARDWELL. - to the Editor of the Argus.

Sir,-Seeing a letter in your issue of yesterday it Captain Cudell and the establishment ot communication by water on the Darling River, 1 feel it but just to say that the name of the late Thomas Hill Bardwell should not be forgotten in that matter. Mr Bardwell was a colonial of 50 years' still bing a native ot Suffolk, in England When he first emigiated he engaged in squatting, both singly and in connexion with his brothel in law, Mr T. H Mate.

Having acquued a considerable fortune, he was induced to invest it in the purchase of stores established by Captain Cadell on the Darling River. It will be remembered that by keeping open the communication by water which Mr Bardwell did after Captain Cadell failed in it -facilite were greatly increased and inducements to occupy lund extended The afair, however, proved very disastrous to Mr. Bardwell, who lost all his fortune in the enterprise, and never afterwards being able to recover his position, he died with a broken heart. - SUSAN-MARIE BARDWELL.
