Droving 15 December 1899 (aged 59 years)

Note: The Never Never land.

The Never Never land. Mr. James Underwood, the veteran drover, has just returned from a trip to Cooper's Creek. He describes the country as being in a terrible state. He passed through 600 dead bullocks, which had died of thirst, and stages of 60 and 70 miles from water to water were quite common. Few men have had a more varied experience than Mr. Underwood, but he tells us that this last trip of his into the Never Never Land was about the roughest time he ever had. Mudgee Guardian, Friday 15 December 1899, p. 10. James Underwood Droving

Droving 24 December 1903 (aged 63 years)

Note: Out Back.

Out Back. Mr. James Underwood recently returned from Bunda Bunda station, on the Flinders (Queensland), where he went to inspect 2000 bullocks. When he arrived at the station he found that portion of the country, for 300 miles round, had been suffering from a frightful drought, no rain having fallen for three years past. Owing to the difficulty in removing the cattle, Mr. Underwood declined to purchase. Mudgee Guardian, Thursday 24 December 1903, p. 11. James Underwood Droving

Note: DEATH OF PIONEER

DEATH OF PIONEER THOMAS UNDERWOOD PASSES An old identity of Mudgee, and one of its best liked men, Mr. Thomas Underwood, passed out on Tuesday, aged 76 years. Only about a week before his death he became ill, and was taken to the hospital suffering from pneumonia, which caused his death. Few people knew he was ill, and many had not heard of his death until the funeral procession passed through town yesterday. Mr. Underwood was a native of Burwood, Sydney, and had been a resident of this district for the past 50 years. He was a brother of James Underwood, the famous trans-Australian drover, and for years was engaged with his brother, droving cattle from the Gulf country, in Northern Queensland to the south of the continent. He was unmarried, and of a bright and lovable disposition. Wherever a kindly word or helping hand was wanted Tom Underwood had it to give. His demise will be deeply regretted by hosts of friends everywhere. Messrs. Tom Underwood (Mudgee) James (Home Rule), Claude (Sydney), Harry (Lue) Rolley and John (Budgee) are nephews. The deceased was interred in the Mudgee cemetery yesterday, The Rev. J. Parr (Church of England) read the burial service, and Mr. J. C. Swords had charge at the mortuary arrangements. Notwithstanding that many were not aware of the death, the funeral was a large one. It would have been much larger had the news been known. Mudgee Guardian, Thursday 24 August 1922, p. 12.
