The diary of James Smelly, an early pioneer, shows that many properties were well established in 1872. Properties such as Harrison’s Marshmead ( now jack Buckland’s) Fairhaven ( Hansen’s), Bucknalls where the two pine trees are at Harrison’s channel, and Bucknall’s store at Gipsy Point were all mentioned in 1872 entries. Devlins were after land next to Captain Stevenson. Devlin’s house had loop holes cut in the timber to fight off the blacks.
