Notes
a. Note:   Michael Daisey (of whom "Daisey's Crossing" over the Balonne River between Talavera and Newstead is named) was associated with Cogoon run in 1859, which he stocked with sheep and cattle, but faced with serious cattle stealing problems he sold Cogoon, and acquired Murilla above Surat also on the Balonne River. This run was eventually incorporated in Warkon holding.
  Michael Daisey was born in 1815 at Stanton Hill, County Cork, Eire, and reached Australia in 1834. He gained pastoral experience in the Maitland district before acquiring two runs in the New England area of New South Wales. His son, John William, was educated at the Ipswich Grammar School prior to taking up residence at Cogoon station on the "Mucca" Creek, where he remained until that run was sold in 1873, when he took up residence at Murilla and after his father's death he left the station and appointed John Nason as manager there.
  During Michael Daisey's reign at Murilla, John Nason was book-keeper, with W. T. Hodgson in charge of all the cattle thereon. and when Murilla was eventually sold, the Hodgson family took up residence at Retreat, 5,000 acres selected by their father while at Murilla. Retreat had been originally named by some surveyors who moved up the flooded river where the homestead is now situated, and occupied continuously by members of the Hodgson family since then.
