History

‘James Twine came to the colony as a labourer in 1833, buying a farm in Guildford, he traded it in 1852, for Dr Viveash’s location 32. He came to the Toodyay district in the early 1850s, and was one of the few settlers who established themselves through the 1860s, further property purchases resulted in a 1400 acre property known as ‘Newgain’. He and his sons also took large pastoral leases to the east, and developed the neighbouring farm, ‘Maisemore’. James Twine was as inaugural member of the Toodyay Road Board.’
