Prue, no.3 entry re Haynes:
http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/24845593
the above will take you to the article about Edward Haynes carving the walking stick for a member of the royal family.
My final reference for Mr Haynes is from 'Old New England' by R B Walker (1966) pp. 77-78 : in reference to shepherds' work: "He was ill-paid compared with urban workers and artisans but little was required of him except the capacity to endure infinite monotony. Some, such as Edward Haynes at Boorolong, took penknife in hand and became an expert in the infinite pains of carving whip handles, portrait frames out of wood, or even the great mantelpiece which adorned the hospitable hearth at Salisbury Court."
The above is referenced from the Armidale Express, 17 May, 7 June, 31 October 1879.
Finally, I forgot to give you the page numbers for the first article : 123-125.
All the best. Robyng
