Visionary politician and civic leader Sir John Robertson and his family resided at ‘Yarrandi’. The Coxen brothers set up there previously and hosted a visit by their sister and brother-in-law ‘The Birdman’ John Gould. Very much later (1966) Crown Prince Charles played Polo there as a guest of the Scone Polo Club.
The Masonic Group was fundamental in early settlement. It appeared to present a platform for erudite professionals such as J A K Shaw (Solicitor) and Dr H J H Scott (Doctor)?
Dr John Goodwin served as ‘medico’ at the original Redbank Hospital.
