"Now we need a milkmaid" said Michael Brennan. Coming for adventure in the outback and on the goldfields and not intending to stay in Australia, Michael, from green Kilkenny, married in Victoria, settled and raised a family at Arthurs Creek. After leaving Ireland, he spent the first years droving sheep from the Darling Downs to the Victorian goldfields and seeking gold here and in New Zealand. In Melbourne, he witnessed Burke and Wills leave on the most famous exploratory expedition in the history of this new colony. His wife Eliza, was born "near the Plenty". Eliza’s family also came from Kilkenny. A gripping family history of the Brennans, Butlers and Powers of Ballyvalden, Arthurs Creek and Kilmore; by Lorna Burke, née Medwell. This is the third in the series of family stories, ‘Not the Bushranger’ and ‘Lincolnshire Poacher, Learmonth Pioneer.’
