Henry Kendall sometimes wrote prose pieces for the Sydney newspaper, the Town & Country Journal. While he was staying with the Fagans, he had an article piece published titled "Arcadia at our Gates. In his own distinct lyrical and romantic style...he has given us a picture of the Brisbane Water of 1874, as seen through his eyes
"Here will be a refuge for aching heads and weary hearts. The kind wind of lakes, the gracious song of brooks, and the generous shelter of trees, will all play a restorative part. Limbs will receive new life, hearts new joy, minds new vigour."
From: The Fagans, the Cottage and Kendall (Historical Monograph No. 8) Joan Fenton : West Gosford : BWHS : 1996
