Summary

Timber sawing, with bullock power at Langhorne's Creek on the Potts property. Frank Potts arrived from England on the Buffalo with Governor Hindmarsh in 1836 and was thus one of the original settlers. In 1849 he built a ferry to cross the Murray at Wellington. He bought land and established the 'Traveller's Rest' to aid travellers enroute to the gold diggings. He built a bullock powered sawmill and cleared land for a vineyard. He named his property Bleasdale. Later he returned to boat building. He had previouslt built more than fifteen vessels. He was a well known local identity.
