The early pioneers of Mitchell's Island, in the Manning River, New South Wales, with great determination and perseverance, were committed to carve out a lifestyle on one of the most fertile areas of land on the lower Manning River - and they succeeded.

The establishment of two separate timber mills by George Scott and Henry Booth on the banks of Scott's Creek gave extra employment to the families on Mitchell's Island and nearby districts, and ship building soon followed.

The welfare of the children of the island was obviously a concern to Henry Booth, as he employed Mr. L'Estrange as a school teacher at the Summer Hill sawmill for the children on the island in 1865 - four years before the Government school was established.

It did not take long before the oyster industry took its first steps. This industry, in the first half of 1871 shipped over 1,800 bags of oysters to market, supplying the much prized bivalves to a voracious city market, where Manning River oysters were considered to be of the finest quality, outranking those sourced from all other rivers.

Isolated on an island, with all supplies and produce coming and going by water, the early settlers began pushing the Government for ferry services. After a long battle with officialdom the Government, in 1876, placed £1,000 on the government estimates to establish ferry services connecting Mitchell's Island with Oxley Island and Cundletown.

The residents of Mitchell's Island established other necessities of life such as a church, school of arts, post office and sporting venues. They conducted flower shows and horse racing, all of which gave these pioneers the lifestyle they required.

The farmers' main staple was maize, but they were not adverse to diversifying into other crops, such as wheat, which was soon abandoned - the result of rust affecting crops - and sugar cane, which was initially successful enough to erect a sugar mill, and which continued until the early 1880s.

The big change in lifestyle came in 1892, at the start of the worst depression since the 1840s, when the Lower Manning Dairy Company established a butter factory on Mitchell's Island at the confluence of Scott's Creek and the Manning River, opposite Croki. By 1910 this factory had 500 suppliers and the Sydney Morning Herald wrote -

"A few years ago who would have predicted life on the Manning as it is now ?  It is a case of before dairying and after dairying. Years ago farmers relied on maize, they put all their eggs in one basket. It was a lazy as well as a risky game, but they were content. And as disastrous floods came and swept everything bare, the farmers once more leaned on the local bank and the storekeeper. But in the fullness of time came dairying. At the outset, it was very unpopular, and, unprofitable. The farmer is always a slow mover, and cows meant hard, persistent work, with method in it. But the more adaptable of the old hands saw in the new industry a sure road to solvency, and despite drawbacks, which even this admirable centre has, its hosts of dairy farmers have now substantial, well improved properties, attractive homes, and ready money wherewith to purchase a few luxuries. The majority, too, live well, and the remainder could if they so desired. This is how life on the Manning River has changed, and instead of the poor 'cocky' who tramped into Taree or Wingham with an empty purse, we see him today, in a stylish sulky turnout, and a cheque book bulging out of his pockets."

These articles are an interesting insight into the pioneers and later generations who settled on Mitchell's Island, giving glimpses of the history of not just this island but also surrounding localities. They are written by early journalists who, in recording current affairs of the time, supply us with our much sought-after history and provide at the same time a fascinating account of everyday life as it once was on the Manning River.
