Wyndham, Celia (1834 - c. 1925)

Celia arrived in Australia in January 1854 on the Samareng with her mother and siblings, her father, Dr Haylock, already having set up practice as a doctor in Port Macquarie, where they joined him. After a few years, the family moved to Walcha and subsequently to Penrith.

In 1862 Celia married Hugh Wyndham of Bukkulla Station near Inverell. The station was well-known for its fine quality horse-breeding, wool and cattle. Celia did not employ a governess but taught her children and did her own sewing. She was one of the early European pioneers of the district.
