	Walkabout - Wellington
		A plan for the township of Wellington was first drawn up in 1839 but objections from Reverend Watson, concerning the impact it would have on the Aboriginal mission, caused the village to be established at Neurah, about 20 km south of Wellington, on the highway.
		The mission closed down in 1842 and Wellington was finally gazetted in 1846 and grew slowly from a population of 29 in 1851 to 1340 in 1881.
		Wellington acquired a reputation as 'the slowest town in the western district'.
