 A number of these families' names are cemented into the island's history by having buildings, farms or sites that still have their name.These include the Adkins' house (burnt down in recent years), French's Farm, Robey's Farm, Hunt's Cottage, Howell's Farm and Haigh's Farm (site only).Farming ended when the Tasmanian Government began purchasing properties from their owners in preparation for declaring the island a national park.
