• Notes

  John GOODE was born about 1836 in Cambridgeshire, England, the son ofRichard Goode and Mary, neé Skinner. When John first came toAustralia as a young man he resided in the Maitland area for a coupleof years, but was later attracted to the oldRocky River diggings bythe stories of fabulous wealth which trickled through the country inthe 1850s. John later selected the property "Spring Creek" at Ardingduring the 1870s and had resided thereon until his death on December4, 1915, aged 79 years. The property is still held in the Goodefamily. He was buried in the new cemetery at Uralla on December 6,1915. John Goode came to Rocky River, now a small settlement nearUralla inNorthern New South Wales during the gold rushes. From Nundlein thesouth to Tenterfield in the north there were a series ofgolddiscoveries. At their peak, they were of sufficient importance tohavetheir own seat (the Northern goldfields seat) in the NSWParliament. Rocky River was an alluvial field with a populationthat reached around 5,000. Following the gold period, John Goodefree selected land at Arding nextdoor to Rocky River. The property,Spring Creek, is still in the Goodefamily. John became a respectedcitizen and his signature is included inthe Citizens' remonsterance(spelling?) congratulating Constable Walkeron shooting Thunderbolt.Thunderbolt was a major local bushranger.
