Details: Many years ago two young men were employed at a colliery in the North of England where they worked as mates in tending the pit machinery. One of them, George Stephenson, was destined to become famous as the pioneer of the locomotive engine and railways while the second Mr. James Steele was to be associated with the development of the coal industry at Newcastle NSW. When the Australian Agricultural Company were looking for experienced men to control their coal getting operation the choice fell upon Mr. Steele who was selected as engineer and Mr. John Henderson who was appointed colliery viewer. These two gentlemen embarked on board the ship Australia owned by A.W. Scott of Ash Island and arrived in 1826. In the early days the whole of the work at the various collieries was performed by prison labour many hundreds being under the personal direction of Mr. Steele. He was a general favourite with them and never had a serious difficulty in managing them. Many a little concession received at his hands out of pure kindness made an impression on their minds and as a result his orders were cheerfully obeyed. Sometimes when work was finished, the men would be allowed to assemble on the green for an hour and play quoits. Nothing pleased the veteran manager better than to watch the men enjoying themselves and forgetting for a time at least the realities of their positions....In about 1836 Mr. Steele built a house n Brown street or what is Brown St now for at that time it was a beautiful green hill, sloping down towards the harbour. At that time there was no other dwelling westward of Wolfe street or southward of Church street. Around the house was a large garden and there as many as two hundred convicts have been working at a time. Frequently there would not be employement for all the companys assigned servants and as the order of the day was keep them employed, they were temporarily transformed into gardeners..
