  • Cartwrights Hill was named after Thomas Cartwright and his family, the original owners of the land back in the late 1850s. Some controversy surrounds the family, for Thomas, a pardoned convict, ex-police constable and shepherd originally from Ireland was arrested and tried for the murder of his wife using a fire-shovel. The charge was later down-graded to manslaughter.
