History

Alexander Anderson's grant in 1832 in the Avon Valley was changed to Mt Anderson in 1836. Some members of his large family went to Tasmania while he stayed to organise his grants before leaving his neighbour J Drummond (jnr) as agent for the land in 1837.
James and later owner offered small areas of land free from rental to men who were prepared to clear and farm them.
In 1854 Mt Anderson was divided up and later Michael Clarkson leased portion U3. By 1892 Barnard Drummond Clarkson owned Mt Anderson but after his death it was divided between his sons and the portions were renamed Yandee, Foggarthorpe and The Range.
