Other Events:

• Residence: 1873, Natimuk VIC; Charles Mott's name, with that of his sister Mary Ann, first appears in the Wimmera Shire rate book in 1873 for land at Natimuk. On the application form for land their address was given as Hamilton, Victoria. In 1874, they are joined by the name of David Mott, a brother, all having land at Arapiles, a more specic area a few miles west of the township of Natimuk. In 1875 the names of William and Eliza Mott appear as farmers of Natimuk. The next year, 1876, gives the first details of their land.David Mott had 285 acres of pasture, 35 acres of cultivation and had erected fencing and a dwelling. Mary Ann Mott had 288 acres of pasture. 32 acres of cultivation and a dwelling and fencing. Charles Mott had 287 acres of pasture, 32 acres of cultivation and had erected a dwelling and fencing. William Thomas Mott had 316 acres 1 rood and 30 perches which had fencing but no cultivation or dwelling. Eliza Mott had 132 acres with fencing only but by the following year she had 12 acres cultivated and a dwelling erected. The year 1878 has the last listing of the five Motts in the shire rate book. The property was then bought by a Mr Fletcher and sold a year later to the Lange family which is still in possession. On this property in 1953, Lou Lange grew a crop of Pinnacle wheat which won the southern Wimmera championship and the Australian championship. The judged area of fifty acres yielded 76.8 bushels an acre, a national record beaten some years later by a crop at Murtoa in the eastern Wimmera. Mt Arapiles Natimuk VIC
• Residence: c1878, Rockwell NSW; About 1878 Charles & Margaret left Victoria with Charles's brothers, David and William, and the party had travelled to the Darling Downs in Queensland. Here William settled near Dalby, while David Mott pushed further north before finally choosing his land. Charles and Margaret left Queensland and settled on a property called Rockwell near Gunjerwarildi in the Warialda district of northern New South Wales. During a severe drought in 1898 Charles agisted sheep on a property called Springmount near Black Mountain, south of Guyra, high up in the New England tableland. He liked the place so well that he bought it and moved his family there, while still retaining Rockwell. His new property, Springmount, was their home until they retired to Armidale. Many of Charles and Maggie's friends had gloomily predicted that his sheep would die of footrot on Springmount with the thirty-inch rainfall. In later years he was heard to remark that it was just as well people had believed that, otherwise there would not have been standing room. Charles purchased two other properties, Ben Lomond and Glendon near Glen lnnes. Ben Lamond was later sold. Eventually Glendon became the property of Guy and his son Bill and was sold about 1980. Margaret and Charles sold Springmount in 1926 and retired to a house, Belmore, on the corner of Marsh and Brown streets, Armidale. The grandchildren have fond memories of Christmas and other family gatherings at Springmount and Belmore.
