We used to buy pies and sausage rolls from this Baker, who's name was Kearins. We would all wait in the baking room and Mr Kearins would serve us straight out of the oven.
The Baker shop was just above the stone house in Dabee Street, just a driveway between the Bakers Shop and the fence around the house.

Dear Sir,
Dear Sir,
By the favour of the Almighty I am permitted at last to announce to you our safe arrival. . . . The day of our embarkation having been the 10th of November last, our passage, you so will amount to five months within two days.

Saw a few Blacks to day, also a Young man of a distant tribe, whose dialect seems to differ much from the neighbouring ones. He stays with a Settler. Rather late I reached Mr Cox’s farm, two miles beyond the intended Township of Mudgee. I was kindly received
by two Messes Coxes whose acquaintance I made for the first time (They only visit this their Estate or Estates at times.)

17 Louee Street, Rylstone
Date of Construction: c 1890
Building Description: Set back from Louee Street and across from the Dabee Street intersection, the house on the western side of Louee Street forms the northern end of the main street before the Cudgegong River. The house is single storey random stone construction. The house faces the unformed section of Dabee Street.
The house is a late Victorian/early Edwardian building which features a low pitched hip roof with a gable projecting to Dabee Street. The gable has a decorative barge-board. A single sash window with window hood over, opens from the end of the gable. The verandah has been truncated by the addition of a contemporary brick extension and car-port.
The flat roofed brick extension with aluminium windows on the north eastern corner of the house has altered the original character of the building.

Hickman, Jessie
Elizabeth Hickman stood nearly six foot
tall. She was a big brawny woman who could fight like a threshing
machine. She dressed like a man and carried a gun. Mrs Hickman arrived
in the Nullo Mountain area of NSW in the 1920s.
Mrs Hickman excelled in doffing stock and despite these activities, the people of Nullo Mountain respected and liked the newcomer which was most unusual because they normally did not take kindly to intruders.
Ref: STOCKMAN’S HALL OF FAME, MARCH 1993Mrs Hickman excelled in doffing stock and despite these activities, the people of Nullo Mountain respected and liked the newcomer which was most unusual because they normally did not take kindly to intruders.
I remember my Grandmother talking about Jessie Hickman when I was a child.
One
story was of Jessie & Andy Black holding up my Grandfather on
Nullo, hitting him behind the ear with a lump of wood. When he came to
all his cattle had disappeared. They were dairy cattle mix as he had a
dairy & milk run in Rylstone.
