"Barrabool: Land of the Magpie"
A large percentage of the early settlers of the Barrabool Hills came from the south-west counties of England - Devon, Cornwall and Somerset. Alargepercentage of these came from three villages located within a few miles of each other in Devon - Bradworthy, Kilkhampton and Holsworthy. Sogreatwas the Devon influence that, when a new road linking Barrabool Hills Road with Colac Road was opened, it was named Devon Road because itwasentirely occupied by Devonians. The Devon influence is seen again in the names given to their properties, names that recalled places back intheirnative country - including "Newlands" (Piper).

James was the employer of David Ham when he came to Victoria in 1849. His residence was Barrabool Hills.

James built "Newlands" in 1853.
Map of Parish of Barrabool, 1861, shows James Piper's property "Newlands" near Ceres.
