Charles Johnston Knight arrived in South Australia from Scotland on the Arab in 1843. He settled at Mulgundawa in 1856 after marrying Sarah Donnon. By 1910 he had retired and his sons John and Joseph managed the property.[3] The property was described in 1910 as mostly low-lying grassland with few trees.[4]
