Thomas WHYTE¹⁴⁰ was born about 1800 in IRELAND. He emigrated between 1829 and 1855 from AUSTRALIA. About 1860 he was a Drover in Wentworth DISTRICT / Rufus River.

Spouse: Unknown WHYTE (UNKNOWN NEE)-4543. Unknown WHYTE (UNKNOWN NEE) and Thomas WHYTE were married about 1820 in IRELAND - County Wexford. Children were: Ellen WHYTE (BYRNES)-4541.

Ellen WHYTE (BYRNES) was born about 1829 in IRELAND. Ellen's Father left Ireland before her.

Ellen's Father Thomas Whyte also emigrated. Thomas & Ellen only met again by accident again when he was droving near Rufus River, which is now the outflow to the Murray River from Lake Victoria between Wentworth NSW & Renmark SA. [ Rusheen Craig strongly disputes this fact - June 2009 ]
[ Harry Niemann - the Authors father, had some involvement as an engineer - probably road construction, in the construction of the Lake Victoria Water Storage project - about 1960. ]
The Murray River was part of the 'Overlanders' droving track from Sydney to Adelaide; it was also at a later date a Coach road. The 'Overlanders'
Towards Wentworth the remnants of the original Customs / Quarrantine buildings have been preserved.
The adjacent Lock 7 area is a personally favoured camping area. From about 1978 onwards I ( Trent Niemann) have camped and fished in the area many times. The scrubby salt infected banks of the Rufus River outlet from Lake Victoria once gave way to forests of Eucalypts along the Murray below lock 7. The river meanders towards Renmark and is 'dotted' with numerous sand bars which were excellent for camping and swimming ( after careful checking for deep holes on the downstream side). The fishing has at times been excellent but less so in latter years.
During my latest visit in 2007, large tracts of young River Gums behind those adjacent to the river itself are dead or dying because of the lack of flows over the river banks. Sand bars have become overgrown due to the lack of flood which once 'cleaned' them.
As with other parts of the Murray Darling Basin this location is in a sad stage of deterioration. It appears to be beyond restoration. Parents: Thomas WHYTE-4542 and Unknown WHYTE (UNKNOWN NEE)-4543.

Spouse: Daniel BYRNES-4540. Ellen WHYTE (BYRNES) and Daniel BYRNES were married on 26 February 1855 in IRELAND - County Wexford. The following is attributed to: Sharyn Dowdy Asset Officer Mildura Rural City Council

Daniel BYRNES115 <file://sources.htm> was born on 22 Oct 1829 at Ireland County Wexford Gorey Inch. Civil Parish in the Catholic Parish of Arklow, Wicklow. He emigrated on 1 Jun 1859 ( error - 1858) from Uk, England, Liverpool on the 'Frenchman'. They made their way from Ireland to Liverpool and departed on the 'Frenchman' on 1st June 1859 ( error 1858) . They arrived in Adelaide on 20/9/1859 ( error - 1858).
After a short time in Adelaide they trekked along the Murray River to 'McLeod's Crossing ' [ by now "The Junction" which was the original name for Wentworth ( Wentworth was named in 1859 ... in June 2009 we .. Aileen & Trent Niemann, attended the 150th celebration ) . They then trekked [ Rusheen Craig says .... The Junction - Arumpo Station - Menindie - Compadore Station - NOT Fort Bourke ] and made their early life in Australia around 'Fort' Bourke & Menindee.
Occupation - Grazier [ not true says Rusheen Craig ' Homestead Lessee at a later date. first he had a carting business in Wentworth ] . They purchased Compador Station which is about 80 miles (abt 120 Km) south of Bourke ( not true says Rusheen Craig June 2009 ... ' visited / stayed but never purchased ' ) .
Spouse: Ellen WHYTE (BYRNES) <file://b25.htm>. Daniel BYRNES and Ellen WHYTE (BYRNES) were married on 26 Feb 1855 in Ireland County Wexford Children were: Sylvester BYRNES <file://b3.htm>.
I believe that they had another child "Garratt Byrnes". Which would account for the usage of the name Garrett later (Sylvester Garrett Byrnes son of Sylvester & Sarah)
The article also mentions another brother "John Thomas"...
Daniel Byrnes held the licence to the "Lake Victoria Hotel" (Lake Victoria near Wentworth) in 1885. His son Garrett held the license to "Darling Hotel" (Letheo near Wentworth) 1892 - 1894
Sylvester Byrnes held the license to "Harp of Erin" (Netley Station, Darling River between Pooncarie & Menindee) in 1882 - 1885. Sylvester Byrnes held the licese to "Pooncarra Hotel" (Pooncarie) 1893 - 1896
Info from <http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~surreal/NSWW/Hotels/individual-hotels-D-M.html>
Garrett Byrnes - Publican Darling Hotel 1892-1896/7.
His daughter Cecelia recalled, "He was a great big figure of a man; ask anybody the length of the Darling and they'll be able to tell you all about him." Cecelia was 96 years old at the time - so we didn't try to follow her advice.

Garrett was the second son of Daniel and Ellen Byrnes (see Pine-tree Hotel). Soon after the Burke and Wills exploratory expedition had left their excess baggage with the Byrnes family, the Byrnes followed them into Menindie. [ Rusheen Craig June 2009 - raises doubts regarding the authenticity of this fact ]
It was in this tiny settlement that Garrett was born on 22nd December,1860.
He was to spend all his life close to or along the Darling River, as a Contractor, a Homestead Lessee, a Publican and a Grazier [ not a Grazier says Rusheen Craig ] . His first property in 1885 was a tiny 40 acres on the northern side of Lake Victoria, on the route to Adelaide. Here he met his wife-to-be Ellen O'Brien who was working with her uncle Thomas on the vast Lake Victoria Station.
The Lands Dept records show that Garrett held the Homestead Lease of Tarangara (Part of Para Run, present day Camborn) from 1886 to 1896. He built two houses there; Ellen and other family members had children there. Yet the Electoral records show Tarangara passing over to his father Daniel by 1893, while Garrett took out the Publican's License for the Darling Hotel in 1892.An additional complication was the location of the hotel. It was usually on the eastern side of the Darling River, on the Wentworth to Pooncarie road. Yet, according to the Gazette, when Garrett took out the license it appears to have been moved across the river to Tarangara on the western side. After three years, with Garrett still in charge, it resumed its original premises.
By 1896 Tarangara was sold, and Garrett had applied for the Homestead Lease on the back track Menindie to Wilcannia, 100 miles from Broken Hill and 30 miles from Menindie. He called it Erin, and his stock were branded with the shamrock.
Ten years later, he took over his brother John Thomas' 1897 HL Byrnesdale. In 1859 this area had been called Corega or Korkreiga and had been owned by the explorer John McKinley. It was Camp 36 on Burke and Wills' 1860 expedition, or Camp 37 on Becker's map; it includes the gorge in which Burke's Cave is situated.
Garrett's final property was the155,156 acre Glenariff, near Byrock, in the Bourke area. It carried 12,000 sheep, 60 head of cattle and 24 of Garret's much loved horses. Garret was returning from buying stock, when he took ill on board ship, was taken to Sydney Hospital, and died of enteric fever in February 1912, aged only 51 years. Having spent all his life in the outback, he is buried at Waverley cemetery, overlooking the ocean. ( Craig Rusheen, The History of the Byrnes Family, Unpublished.)
