William & Mary (Mn Murray) Hallam sailed from England in 1853 arriving in Adelaide on the Magdalena ship and settled in Coleraine -Casterton district.
Mary & William were married at Bruk Bruk Fernhaugh in 1875 with great rejoicing from both families. They settled at Turkey Bottom now called Carapark and had two sons Henry George (1877) and David Augustus 1879). Later in 1884 the Hallam family with all their possessions probably in a wagon travelled north crossing the Glenelg and arriving at Telangatuk where they took up land between Balmoral and Harrow.
They became well established and highly respected. they ran sheep and grew crops using horse drawn implements, planting fruit trees and produced their own meat, eggs and butter and some times potatoes.
Their place was open to many kinds, hawkers fro other localities , piano tuners skin buyers and stock agents.
