W. W. Buckland Esq
        Dear Sir,
                Referring to your
letter of the 28th ult - with reference
to the probality of Sofala being an
aboriginal name. I have to inform
that the residents around here are
inclined to think that through this
being a heavygold producing
district, it was named Sofala
after Sofala in Africa.The late
Mr John Sutton was about the
first pioneer in this district
consequently anyone of his family
most of which live about the Bathurst Plains
