He accompanied them to various gold rushes with his parents and finally removed to his present station. He owns about 12,000 sheep and has considerable tracts of land and about 4000 acres purchased at Callawadda, some few miles distant.

He went to the Wimmera in June, 1865, took up his first selection there, and grew the first wheat in the district at Callawadda station, which is now held by his widow, Mr C Mcintosh's mother. Mr Macintosh was the first secretary of the first Selectors' and Farmers' Association in that part of the colony, formed about 1867, its headquarters being in Stawell.
