Noteworthy figures are scarce until the sixteenth century, when Father Dominic Collins (1533 - 1602) of Cork went to Spain, where, following service in the Spanish army, he entered the Society of Jesus as a lay brother. At the late age of 69, he returned to Ireland in time to take part in the siege of Dunboy Castle. He was captured by the Crown forces who tried to bribe him into giving information. When he refused he was hanged at Youghal, near to where he was born. Sean O Coileain (1754 - 1817) of Corca Laoidhe was a poet in the old Gaelic tradition, when poets commanded respect and were given the hospitality of the king's castle. Unhappily for Sean, the kings had all been deposed and the people who would have been his patrons were as poor as himself. He drank, but rather than making him happy, his drinking drove away his first wife and so enraged his second that she set fire to the house. Sean was a reluctant schoolteacher, but his poetry must have been appreciated, for he was known as the "Silver Tongue of Munster". There is some mystery surrounding a strangely melancholy poem of his which has been compared to Gray's Elegy. Whether O Coileain or an earlier poet wrote it continues to puzzle the folklorists.

    Joseph Furphy
    Joseph Furphy Tom Collins ) was a novelist, best known for his book Such is Life . This work is a fictional account of the life of rural dwellers, including bullock drivers, squatters and itinerant travellers, in southern New South Wales and Victoria , during the The book comprises a series of loosely interwoven stories of the various people encountered by the narrator as he travels about the countryside. At times the prose is difficult to understand because of the use of Australian vernacular and the author's attempt to convey the accents of Scottish and Chinese personalities. This novel nevertheless provides an insight into the character of rural dwellers in Australia in the latter half of the 19th century The title of Such is Life is said to be derived from Ned Kelly 's last words. A furphy is Australian slang for a rumour, or an erroneous or improbable story. It derives from Furphy carts , used to transport water during World War I , around which servicemen would gather and gossip, spreading tall stories and rumours.

    Furphy Place is one of 23 charming cul de sacs located in Garran, this one running off Brereton Street. The end houses back onto the Federal Gold Club, a magnificent golf course with spectacular views and scenery.
    Named after Joseph Furphy (1843-1912)
    J oseph Furphy was born at Yering in the upper valley, Victoria, the son of Protestant Irish bounty emigrants who arrived in Australia in 1841. It was Joseph's older brother, John, who invented the Furphy water-cart, which was the means the expression ‘furphy’ came into Australian English.) Joseph Furphy gained his education at a small school in Kyneton, and subsequently worked on his father’s farm before trying his luck on the goldfields. He was then employed as a threshing machine operator in the Daylesford district. Joseph married Leonie Germaine, a French girl, in 1867, and worked her mother’s vineyard and farm. In 1868 he acquired a selection in the Lake Cooper district, but was unsuccessful and after five years left the farm to find work on the goldfields and as a labourer. He then moved his family to the Riverina in NSW and became a bullocky with his own team in 1877.
