A Young Teacher’s Experience on a Famous Cattle Station in the 1960s
By David Benson
Some Preliminary Information:
I was posted to my first school in 1964. It was on a cattle station called Cooplacurripa. Just recently, part of my memoirs about the station were published in the Manning Valley Historical Society’s Journal (Number 55 December 2016). The reason for their significance is explained in the following extract (Just click on this. My journal extract is Part 3) :journal-55-coopla
What about the AA Company?
There is an unintentional link between my first teaching posting and the AACo in that Cooplacurripa was part of the first properties taken up by the Company when they departed Tahlee.
The Old AAco Road 
Hi. I was just wondering whether this site is still live- whether there is some further information I may be able to obtain (including the walking notes) please.
Yes it is. Unfortunately, we aren’t able to do the Karuah to Tahlee Walk anymore. The road crosses private property and a creek. You may still be able to do the walk from Tahlee to Yalimbah Creek and back. Inquire at Tahlee.
Thank you. Do you have a copy of the map at all please?
