• On Warburton, Skipper Partridge describes him as ‘one of Centralia’s exceptions.’ Skipper Partridge met him during his 27th years at Erldunda. ‘This is his twenty-seventh year of residency but from his bearing and conversation one would imagine him a visitor just up from the ‘toney’ circles of Melbourne. He can talk well on almost any subject, is a wide reader…In town he is a man of the clubs…dresses even at Erldunda in riding breeches and as a consequence is to most the laughing stock of the countryside – but I say more honour to him.’ Grant 103
