All that remains of the mud bat homestead and outbuildings is a stone well. The land is currently used for pasture.
Ralph Dewar selected SL 292 of 189 acres in July 1860. This land was immediately south west of that owned by his brother, William Smart Dewar. Ralph married Frances Carson, daughter of Alfred Carson. They had two children but unfortunately Ralph was killed when a cart overturned in February of 1861. All that remains of the mud bat homestead and outbuildings is a stone well. A fine watercolour remains in his descendants' keeping.
