General Notes
Queensland Times (Ipswich) (Qld.) - Tuesday 8 August 1950
"Early History of Fassifern...
- The Fletcher and Young families took up land at The White Swamp area of South Queensland, about 1870, when this still was the only road to Ipswich, from New South Wales.
ON FOOT TO IPSWICH The late Edward Young (Senior), at that period had no horse handy, and as it was necessary for him to reach Ipswich on a certain day, he ran and walked the whole way. Leaving The White Swamp just before daylight he was in Ipswich before sundown. The late George Fletcher, then a lad of 15 years took a bullock dray loaded with potatoes along this route, to Ipswich. Moorgerah Homestead was the first dwelling at that time from The White Swamp. This was no mean feat for a lad alone."
