Distinguished and Famous people from Chapman Valley
🌾 Samuel Lockier Burges
Samuel Lockier Burges owned Narra Tarra in the Chapman Valley after buying it from the Mills family in 1899. His farming interests moved from sheep towards large wheat crops assisted by machinery, including a steam traction engine. Heritage records also associate him with an early motor car in the district. Financial difficulties eventually led to the property's sale to the government in 1909 and its subdivision for smaller farms. His local story captures a period when agricultural ambition, new machinery and the risks of substantial landholdings were closely intertwined.
