Service establishments spread in a radial pattern around Wilcannia to<br />
intercept potential customers as they travelled between the town and the<br />
pastoral stations. Bank records indicate that within ten to fifteen years of<br />
Woore's 1868 surveys 'grog shanties', 'wayside inns' or 'hotels' became<br />
established. <strong>The</strong> records of the Commercial Banking Company of <strong>Sydney</strong><br />
(N.A.B.2) indicate the existence of these at locations west of the Darling<br />
River as follows:<br />
