Biographical / Historical:

Martinus Peter Hayward (1817-1904) was the son of Joakim Cooper Hayward (1782-1864) of Hayward's End, Stonehouse. A qualified doctor, he emigrated to South Australia on the Rajasthan in 1839-40. He was declared insolvent in the depression of 1843 and went back to England. He returned to Adelaide in 1846, serving as surgeon on the Phoebe. He combined a medical practice with property interests and became a notable member of South Australian society. He lived at McLaren Vale, served as a Justice of the Peace, presided at public meetings, and was an official at race meetings. In 1857 he and his family returned to England. Following the death of his father in 1864, Hayward became the owner of the Hayward's End estate.

Johnson Frederick Hayward (1822-1912) was the brother of Martinus Hayward. He emigrated to South Australia on the Phoebe in 1846 and immediately was engaged by the pastoralist Price Maurice to work on his sheep station at Pekina. In 1851 Hayward acquired a half share of 'Aroona', a property in the Flinders Ranges owned by Dr John Harris Browne and his brother. At the time, 'Aroona' was the most northerly property in South Australia and Hayward played a leading role in the development of the pastoral industry and in exploring the region. Mount Hayward and other landmarks in the Flinders Ranges are named after him. He sold his share in 'Aroona' in 1861 and purchased Canowie Station near Hallett, 20 miles north of Burra. He returned to England in 1864 and settled in Bath but retained an interest in Canowie until his death.
