  A TASMANIAN WILL & LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION for WILLIAM BOYER [1889], with the large Seal of the High Court of Australia still attached
  William Boyer arrived in Tasmania in 1868. He established his estate 6km from New Norfolk on the banks of the Derwent River, from which a town developed, named Boyer. In 1938 the paper manufacturers, Australian Newsprint Mills, opened on the Boyer estate. Boyer had worked in land settlement and development, with a letter in the Royal Society of Tasmania collection pertaining to this. A letter from Michael Maxwell Shaw to Boyer in July 1869 identifies his connection with developing “’a society of gentlemen at Castra (which) would do much to establish a sound tone of feeling and manners through the island”.
