1870s - [REMINISCENCE]
There were several hotels on the two roads from Mudgee to Gulgong, the one via Home Rule and the other by Canadian. One of these was at Wilbetree, and was known as Sheriff's, and was kept by the late Mr. Henry Hunt. A second, Peter Anderson's, was at the junction of the Home Rule and Canadian roads, and the third, Millard's, yet further on.

On 13th May 1869, Peter Anderson of Wilbetree purchased Portion 82 (above) - 60 acres for £60.
On 21st April 1870, Peter Anderson of Wilbetree purchased Portion 92 (above) - 40 acres for £40. In 1879 these were mortgaged to George Stott, farmer, from "near Gulgong".
Both portions were transferred to John Gottlieb Wurth, a farmer, in 1881.
We learn from the local journal that this national saint's day is not to be allowed to pass unnoticed. Messrs. Deen and King intend holding sports in Homer's Paddock, which we doubt not (says our contemporary) will be patronised as well as their sports were last year. At the Half-way House, on the Mudgee road, better known as Peter Anderson's, there will be a day's racing, which doubtless will attract many. There is some talk of a St. Patrick's dinner, a mode of celebrating the festival that was popular some years ago.

1874 - [MINING]
In O'Donohough's paddock, on the Mudgee road, between O'Donnell's Lane and Peter Anderson's, all the claims have been taken up, and according to report, matters are likely to flourish, as every confidence of a successful issue is based upon results in Williardt's and O'Donnell's paddocks, which are adjacent.
1874 - HOME RULE - THE WEATHER.
During the last eight days the weather has been very unsettled, and we have experienced some very heavy downpours. The roads are in a deplorable condition, especially that part of O'Donnell's lane near Peter Anderson's, where often the mail coach and horses got bogged, and have to be pulled out by a team of bullocks.
