'Ecrivain' writes: - The widow of Henry Jones, who with his brother Derwas, founded Binnum Binnum Station, near Karracoorte, in the early forties of last century, long before his marriage, resides in England in her ninety-fifth year. This will be a pleasant surprise to many South Australians, especially of the older generation of south-easterners, some of whom may remember the lady who shared with her husband the high reputation in respect of the hospitality for which Binnum was famous. Harry Jones, known as 'the Squire of Binnum, was a great host, and fond of entertaining. He was a noted sport, bred stud sheep, and ran greyhounds. With his own bred dog Jason he won the first two Waterloo Cups run at Narracoorte. He died in England more than 40 years ago. Mrs. Jones, the widow, wrote an interesting volume, entitled, 'Broad Outlines of Long Years in Australia' (published in London in 1878), a fine story descriptive of station and bush life. Mr. Redmond Jones, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Jones, has been farming at Metung, Gippsland, for many years. He left Clifton College. England, at 17, ,and returned to Australia, where he spent some time gaining stock and station experience. Forty years ago Mr. (now Sir) John Grice commissioned him to take a big lot of horses from Albury to Manfred Downs, his station in Queensland; they were nearly a year on the road, such were the difficulties of travelling stock in a terrible drought year. For four years Mr. Redmond Jones was on the Western Australian goldfield. At the outbreak of the Boer war he went to Durban, and enlisted in the South African Light Horse, commanded by Col. the Hon. Julian Byrjg, now Lord Byng, of Vimy, Governor General of Canada. The Australian served as trooper for three months, and was on the staff with six others as scouts. He was twice wounded in the war. In 1908 he returned to his native land, and bought a farm on the Gippsland Lakes, which he left in 1914, and remained in England doing 'his bit' for his country until 1921. The second son. Col. Caton Jones, C.B., served with distinction in the Egyptian and Boer Wars, was shut in Ladysmith during the siege, later was P.M.O. with Walter Kitchener, commanding the 24th British Field Hospital in India. In the late war Col. Jones was in the retreat from Mons; he was invalided for a short time, then served as AJDJM.S. at Havre, until again invalided towards the close of hostilities, and on retirement from the active list was rewarded with a C.B. It is recorded of him that during a fight in the Boer war he was attending to the wounded in the shelter of a large rock, and noticing a comrade badly wounded, he left his shelter and carried him to safety amidst a storm of bullets - valour, indeed, worthy of the Victoria Cross! The youngest son of the aged widow, formerly of Binnum, was the late Goring Jones, C.M.G., D.S.O. His regiment was the 2nd Durhams. For many years he served in India, for a considerable time as Adjutant of the Irregular Forces at Berninah. In the Great War he rose from Major to Brigadier-General. He was then appointed to the important command of Quetta, India, was invalided to England, and died in 1919. Cremated at Woking, his ashes were in accordance with his wish, conveyed to India, and buried in the jungle. Mrs. Brewer, a daugter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Jones, resides in Sydney, and another daughter is the wife of the Rev. J. M. Chitty, of Yockleton Rectory, Shropshire, England. |

Reminiscing in 1926,
Mrs Kate Cumming said her father, Harry Jones came out from Shrewsbury, England, in 1842 in the Lightning, with his brother Derwas.
Harry held an important post in his father's privately owned Bank of Shrewsbury, but he tired of such a cut-and-dried business and pined for adventure. Having taken up land in Victoria, her father encounterd new climatic conditions, almost impenetrable forests, menacing Aborigines and primitive living facilities. To two "gentile" nurtured Englishmen such experiences must have been awful and they won through and eventually decided to widen their horizons by exploring the western district of Victoria.
This brought them across the border into South Australia. In Victoria they were absolutely the first white men to hew a clearing in the Kilmore district and founded a station there, successfully breeding stock. Mrs Cumming said that the expedition came out into territory now known as Frances, but in those times Cadnite, on account of its lake.. The present name of Frances was bestowed by the present owner, in honour of his fiancee, Frances Caton, in England.
In 1857* Mr Jones returned to his homeland and married her. They at once returned to Australia and landed at Melbourne where Mrs Cumming was born. When she was three months old they journeyed in stages to Binnum and she recalled that both of her parents were very fond of the natives and whenever they were ill they went to her mother for help. Kybybolite Station was founded by her uncle, Heighway Jones.
None but the grassy places were taken up by the first pastoralists, but even they were chosen with caution because there was no running water to be found and most of the swamps showed signs of drying up in one season of the year. Owing to these restrictions the actual amount of settlement was small because the good grassy lands bore a trifling proportion to the actual area of the district. These tracts were to be found on the Mosquito Plains, stretching in a width for ten miles from Penola to Lawson's at Padthaway, that is 64 miles, and along the banks of Reedy and Avenue Creeks for about a mile on each side, while south of Penola it was about five miles wide stretching down as far as the Mount Burr Ranges where the volcanic tract of Mount Gambier opened out.
