Dan Hayes originally intended to go to America, but he wanted
to go to Australia. In any case, they landed at Brisbane,
Queensland on August 17, 1888 and were married on Dec. 8,
1888 in St. Stephen's Cathedral in Brisbane.
They left Brisbane on April 27, 1889 and went to the
town of Nanango which was a small farming area 200 km from
Brisbane. Dan was employed as a bookkeeper in the local
cheese factory.
Their first child, Margaret Veronica was born on Oct.
12, 1889. On April 25, 1890, Dan left the cheese factory and
went to Nanango Station to work. He left there on Jan. 31,
1891 having bought some farm land on Barkers Creek about 11
km from Nanango. They called the property the "Golden Vale."
This is probably named after the area of the same name near

worked very hard to make a success of farming.
