541:. The territory of the Worimi was bounded by the Hawkesbury and Manning Rivers respectively on the south and north, the ocean on the east, and extended as far west as the junction of Glendon Brook and the Hunter River. The language was called Kattang. It was not as complex as that of the people further north on the coast. The name of the sept is derived from 'gal' or 'kal' meaning a division or clan, and 'Garewa,' the sea. The Hunter was the southern boundary, Port Stephens the north, the ocean the east, and they roamed inland as far as Glendon Junction. They were food gatherers, that is to say, they did not cultivate but gathered whatever was found in a state of nature, whether of vegetable or animal life, except such as were poisonous and in the latter class they did not consider snakes... Totemism was one of the most important features of his (sic) life. Each individual had a totem and there was also a totem for the female clan and another for the male clan, and the Karaji had also a totem. No individual would kill or gather what was his totem...For carrying food, bags of excellent quality were made of native twine as was also the scoop net used for fishing. Water was carried in a hollowed piece of wood or bark. Fishing hooks were made of shell."

Clarence Town, was found "lying on the road with throat cut so dreafdully that the head was nearly severed from the body". Benjamin
Stanley was eventually convicted of 'wilful murder' and sentenced to death. On 7 November of that year he was hung at Newcastle, ending his confession by saying: "Drink and bad company have brought me to this end". The murder had occurred only two months after a three year old child, Patrick Lawler, had fallen down a well and drowned in Seaham. Amidst all this, an economic depression had precipitated the first wave of bank failures seen in Australia. It seems fitting that the small burial ground at Seaham was first pressed into service about this time. James Warby, a 10 month old baby, is thought to be one of the first interments. He was buried at Seaham in either September or October 1847. By decade's end, however, the people of Seaham were anything but dispirited. At a public meeting of "between twenty and thirty heads of families" on 23 March 1849 it was unanimously resolved that "steps should be taken with the view of getting a national school established in the township".

Observing some smoke rising from the midst of the Wallalong bush, they armed themselves with muskets, and reached unobserved the camp, where a considerable number of men, women, and children were. They fired at once upon them, killing some and wounding others. The rest fled through the bush, pursued by the whites, and the whole of the natives took to the water intervening between the brush and the high land, towards which it gradually deepened, and some of the poor creatures were drowned. My informant, now a very old man, while expressing regret as to occurrence, said the worst part of the whole affray was, they afterwards discovered, that not one of those who were "wanted" was among them."

operated from the old pound in the 1850s. This later hotel, however, was without local comparison. Designed by the architect J. W. Scobie, who with fellow architect Arthur Lee had earlier designed the town hall at West
Maitland (1889), the Seaham Hotel was of brick and contained 14 rooms. Constructed "in the most up to date style for a hotel", it provided much improved facilities to Seaham's passing trade. This included the coroner. The cellars of hotels, especially those in remote villages such as Seaham, were the preferred location to store the remains of any deceased whose death might necessitate an inquest. Pulled from the river at nearby Glen Oak wharf, 22-year-old George Whitely was thus an early guest at the Seaham Hotel when he was laid out there in 1906. Mr E. Piper, the visiting coroner, made a finding of accidental drowning and the young man was buried at the Seaham Cemetery under a headstone that was "erected by a few of his friends".

cedar, only here and there amidst the lonely wilderness was there to be found a settler's farm or stockman's hut. The blacks were occasionally, but not often, troublesome. The stories they used to tell us about the brush thereabouts being haunted by a great tall animal like a man with his feet turned backwards, of much greater, however, than the human stature, and covered with hair, and perpetually making a frightful noise as he wandered about alone, made me sometimes doubt whether they were themselves really terrified, or were merely endeavouring to scare us away; but I very strongly incline to the latter opinion. Be it as it may, there was no such consequence. We were too well used to that lonely tree-guarded silence, broken only by the clink of the rising saw, and to the damp unsunned ground, with its thick brown covering of thousandfold rotting rustling leaves, to have any very important new sensations to acquire hereabouts.
1075:. The project was 'trouble-plagued' from the beginning and not without its critics. Farmers feared the weir would change the flood pattern at Seaham and ruin valuable land. Water turbulance gardually removed the fines from the rock face and water continued to seep upriver from Seaham. The water board eventually called world-wide tenders for the sealing of the weir and in 1974 the French firm S. I. F. Bachy Enterprise won the contract. Using a method that, at the time, was untried anywhere in the world, engineers drilled the rock and filled the holes with an impervous grout. In response to representations, the water board also built flood gates into the 360m weir to allow better control of the water. At a total cost of $ 10.5 million, and after the weir was eventually sealed, it was opened in March 1979 by the NSW Deputy Premier and Minister for Public Work,

It was reported that "no expense has apparently been spared to make the premises as complete as possible" and it was swiftly decided that the new villa at "Brandon" afforded "the greatest credit on all concerned". Tragedy struck the Fisher family in 1901/2 when an outbreak of pneumonia claimed four members of the extended family, including two unmarried daughters living at "Brandon".

A "desperate battle" was fought at "Brandon", south of the town proper, where two homes were lost. A "good save was effected" at the c1884 homestead, built close to the site of Alexander Warren's original home, where the fire was extinguished at the backdoor.

The Seaham Quarry, as it came to be known, was also found to have arching layers that were created by the dragging force of glacier ice or ancient icebergs. In 1925 a Pan-Pacific
Geology Congress brought geologists from all over the world to Seaham to inspect its unique formation. At the time when Professor David observed them, the formations â known as varve shales â were not known to exist in Australia.

Terrace and Dungog were preferred for more substantial public buildings. Although Seaham, like other government towns, had been surveyed with streets running north-south and east-west, the early focus of the village became a bend on the
Williams River designated Crescent Street. This was a low-lying precinct adjacent to the swamp, prone to regular flooding and characterised by smaller, more irregular shaped town lots. Nevertheless, it was a convenient site for a public pound, and it was around this essential service that a semblance of village life eventually clustered.

Presbyterian Church was built on high ground near the present-day site of Seaham Public School. In 1893 a

An Anglican Church, St Andrewâs, had earlier been built in 1860/61 on the lowland behind the first schoolhouse and close to the first Seaham Hotel. Upriver, about midway between the punt crossing and Porphyry House, a Mutual Improvement Association Hall had been built (circa 1865) and a Mr Abel Pyres kept a butcher shop somewhere in proximity.

Macquarie hoped the adoption of blankets would encourage 'civilised' habits and cooperation with settlers. In time blankets were usually distributed by magistrates or police annually on 1 May, the Queen's
Birthday. From at least 1835, one of these distribution points was on Alexander Warren's "Brandon" estate, south of the Seaham village reserve. Surviving records show a diminishing number of blankets despatched between that year (40 blankets) and 1841 (25 blankets). By 1850, distribution of blankets within the wider Hunter region was almost non-existent.

Mitchell writes that "the cedar joinery is particularly elegant, panels with fine moulding beneath every window" and that the house plan "is the usual symmetrical Georgian type: a very wide hall leads from the flagged front verandah to the back verandah; two large rooms in front and four at the back. Twin chimneys at either end are of stone". The house was later occupied by the Lex McDonald and his family.

A third schoolhouse (counting West's cottage as first) was appropriated from a nearby general store kept by Alexander Cameron and this structure was used from the mid-1860s until a more substantial brick schoolhouse and teacherâs residence was erected on higher ground in 1885.
