The Dabee shearers quarters and kitchen were part of the shearing complex at Dabee Station which was taken up by Richard Fitzgerald in the 1820's.

I remember around 1946/7 my Grandmother being Shearer's cook at "Dabee".
I spent the school holidays working in the kitchen with her, peeling
vegetables and taking the morning and afternoon smoko to the Shearing
shed.

My Great Great Grandparents Reuben Leader and Martha Leader (nee Robins)
arrived from Ilford in England on the "Castle Eden" in 1849 with 4
children and went to work at "Dabee". Two more children were born at
"Carwell" and my Great Grandfather Alfred Leader was born at "Woodlawn"
in 1854 and at 6 months of age came to Ilford to live at "The Retreat"
on Cunningham's Creek.
