The CSR lands remained in the Erskine family until 1853 when they passed to J. R. Darvall. In 1853 the land was mortgaged and later sold in 1865 to James Henry Thomas. In 1885 Edgar Cox purchased the land, selling it to David Dale in 1896. Andrew Thompson purchased the land in 1898. The land then became part of the Lenore farm estate of 500 acres. Adjoining Thompson farms were Rose Cottage and Lockwood. The federal government resumed the land for solder settlement (under the Returned Soldiers Settlement Act) in 1919. It was divided into seven small farms. Two farms were allocated to Charles Hely and Francis Roberts. Other owners were: Arthur Renwick Poolman, Percy Arthur Poolman, Horace Walter Chad, Herbert Hodges, Leslie James Oneil. A Mr German first proposed mining the land for blue metal. This began in the 1920s. In 1985 CSR purchased the land. During the twentieth century the Gyro Flying Club was established on the land.
