Notes Married:
- While touring Australia in 1902, Paterson met Alice Emily Walker at Tenterfield Station in northern New South Wales. He married her at the station on April 8, 1903. They made their home in Woolahra, a suburb of Sydney after he was appointed editor of the Sydney Evening News. His two children were born during this period. Looking for a less stressful and confining life, he resigned as editor and bought "Coodra", a property in the Yass district. This decision ended in failure and Paterson turned for a short time to wheat farming at Grenfell.
