Details: Record voyage 100 years ago.....Just a century ago, as an apprentice in the barque Sultan, then lying in London Docks and loading for New South Wales, Robert Breckenridge, whose name became associated with the timber industry at Newcastle, made his first outward voyage. It was one of the fastest passages on record. The vessel came to Sydney discharged and left for Manila and was back in London in 13 months. The young seafarer, gaining his master s ticket, had charge of vessels trading in various seas and had been 12 times around the world when he settled down at Newcastle. His last command before settling on shore was of the brig Diva. He joined James Breckenridge at the Port Stephens sawmill then the best bush mill in the colony. There and at Newcastle the partners built up a lucrative business. An old biographical sketch of his career states that he was married in 1858 by Dr. Dunmore Lang

Details: The timber mills of R. Breckenridge, Ltd., in King-street Newcastle, were gutted by fire early this morning. The fire spread rapidly and threatened to sweep the whole block, but firemen from city and district stations made a remarkable save. Masses of twisted iron, machinery and charred wood were all that remained of the timber yard, one of the biggest in Newcastle. Damage was estimated at about 14,000 pounds. When the brigades arrived, it was found that the fire had a strong hold and, with a westerly wind behind it, was spreading at express rate from the western corner of the premises towards the block of engineering works and markets in Darby-street. The fire had licked the rear portion of Varleys engineering works in Darby-street, a hardware storage shed, and a hardware showroom skirting King-street, which is part of Breckenridge s premises. In the mill were about a score of expensive wood working machines each of which was badly damaged by fire and water. Those which were on the first floor crashed down among the ruins beneath when the fire ate its way through the supporting girders. Timber workers who turned up for work at the mill this morning looked glum. We were out for weeks and we have come back to this, said one, who was looking towards another spell of unemployment

Details: Most of the inns upon the road are kept by Scotch people, and in the gardens of several, which I had occasion to enter, I found a grave at one corner. It forms a striking part of the simplicity of the Presbyterian religion, that they have neither funeral ceremonies, nor consecrated ground. This is a wonderful advantage in a country like New South Wales as you will recollect that the celebrated auctioneer, Mr Stubbs, stated as one of the advantages of the new township of Brecon, that a burial ground was to be attached to it, which would save the Church of England people the trouble of travelling to Maitland,—a distance of twenty-five miles,—for the pious purpose of depositing their dead in consecrated ground
