Notes - Edward Roberts went to Yatheroo as a boy of 11 with Walter Padbury. At the age of 24, Mr Roberts was sent to De Grey Station to bring the whole of Mr Padbury's stock overland to Berkshire Valley (near Moora,) a distance of 1,200 miles. He left De Grey on April 11th 1868 and arrived at Berkshire Valley in November 1868. In 1869 he bought 700 acres now known as Kayanaba, and in 1892 he bought Yatheroo from Walter Padbury.
Edward Roberts won the first Governors Cup at the Royal Show in 1896 and also the following year: in all he won the Cup 4 times. He was a keen lover of horses (race) though he was opposed to betting. He twice won the W.A. Derby with horses of his own breeding and with "Carbineer" won the Perth Cup.
He was one of the most outstanding men of his day, and possessed a great force of character.
