 Hetherington Brothers correspondence with 1843 part-entire from NSW to Richard Hetherington at the family seat in Scotland with
light 'PAID AT/MAITLAND' handstamp (sold at a Melbourne auction in 2013 for $420), 1854 & 1855 envelopes with enclosed letters from Richard at "Port Curtis" to William at "Bonshaw/ Frasers Creek" the first with very fine previously unrecorded 28mm
'GLADSTONE/N S W' backstamp & the other with Richard's postmaster's manuscript "Gladstone Febry 23rd 1855" & previously unrecorded 28mm 'BYRON/N S W' backstamp, 1855 entire also to William, 1854 1856 & 1857 covers from Scotland to William with
Embossed 1/- or 6d both cut-square or Stars 1d strip of 6, condition rather mixed but an important MBD-related group that were discovered only in 2011: sold at our auction of 19.11.2011 for $2345 (Sale 169 Lots 426 to 428).
The brothers, who claimed descent from Scottish King Duncan I ('Macbeth's' King Duncan), arrived in NSW in 1856, William becoming a grazier & Richard trying his luck in a newly-opened part of the MBD. Port Curtis was renamed Gladstone in 1857, with
Richard as the first postmaster. Bonshaw is on the south bank of the Dumaresq River that forms part of the NSW/Queensland border: a PO opened only in 1866. Byron was about 90km S of Bonshaw: the PO opened 1.1.1855 & was replaced by Inverell
15.9.1859. Frazers Creek PO 1.1.1853; renamed Ashford 1.12.1863.

 1849 small envelope to "Gara/Sydney" endorsed on the flap "favored By Mr Frederick Manger" & rated "7" in black, very fine 'SHIP
LETTER/[crown]/NO*23/1849/SYDNEY' and largely fine to very fine strike of the scarce oval 'BRISBANE/[crown]/DE*2/1849/NEW.S.WALES' datestamp, very minor blemishes. The Brisbane datestamp is 10 days later than the Sydney cds, indicating that the
letter arrived at Sydney by ship, probably from one of the Pacific Islands. "Gara" was a pastoral station in New England & it appears that the letter was missent via Brisbane, rather than overland from Sydney, Newcastle or Port Macquarie to Armidale.
This is the only cover we can recall that transited the Moreton Bay District. Sold at our auction of 15.8.2014 for $1205 (Sale 193 Lot 450).
