Farm and homestead

Havilah took its name after a visiting clergyman discovered specks of gold and, citing Genesis, named the area the "land of Havilah". The farm was first owned by Nicholas Paget Bayly (1814–1879) and was sold after his death to Henry Charles White (1837–1905). The farm is renowned for a history of producing high quality merino sheep and horses. [4] The homestead has major additions designed by architect John Horbury Hunt. [5]

Memorial church

Havilah Memorial Church was built in 1905 and gifted to the Anglican Church by Hunter White (1867–1947) in memory of his father, Henry Charles White. It lies on the Lue road and has an adjacent small cemetery. [6]

Literary connection

Havilah appears as 'Haviland' and H.C. White as 'Old Black' in Henry Lawson's story 'Joe Wilson's courtship'. [7]
