FOOTNOTES.
There was originally a dam behind the Post Office, along the south side of Darkie’s Terrace Road; but it was drained in a fairly early year and the site occupied by cottages.
From 1867 to early in 1869 a tramway ran from opposite Section 121 in Camp Street, to Darkie’s Terrace. It skirted the south side of this road.
