from Armidale Chronicle
Mr. Thomas Underwood, a pioneer of Australian stock routes, died from pneumonia, at Mudgee, at the age of 76 years. He was born at Burwood, but Mudgee was his home for half a century.
As a young man he was associated with his brother, the late James Underwood, in stock-droving from Queensland cattle stations as far north as the Gulf country to the south of the continent. Together they pioneered many routes, and for many years they were well-known figures along the wild bush ways that led from the Never-Never country to civilisation—and to the markets.
"Tom Underwood," as he was affectionately called, was a popular figure wherever he moved, and there are many still in far distant places who will remember him and regret his demise.
