In the early 1950s, Michael Mullins subdivided a corner of his farm at Bandiana sold housing blocks for a peppercorn to 'new Australians' from the nearby Bonegilla reception centre who wanted to settle in the area.
This map was drawn by one of the residents and supplied by Bruce Pennay of Charles Sturt University. See also his brochure Rubbing Shoulders with Post-War Newcomers: Bonegilla Reception and Training Centre 1947-71
