Aubrey

History

One of the earliest settlers in Aubrey was Mr. F. Rodda. He came from South Australia and purchased land in Aubrey in 1892. Water was a particular problem to the early farmers as they depended entirely on catchment by tanks. When that water ran out, it needed to be carted from a shire dam over eight kilometres away, and after the dam went dry, water needed to be sourced from 14 km away.
