These medals relate to the 'Danedite' property in Camperdown. Originally formed as a part of the Purrumbete Estate taken up by three brothers Thomas (1809-1875), John (1811-1877) and Peter (1817-1885) Manifold who emigrated from Bromborough, Cheshire, England. Thomas arrived in Van Diemen's Land on 23 January 1828 followed by John and Peter with the rest of the family on 8 July 1831. Initially obtaining land on the west bank of the Tamar River, by December 1838 they also acquired land at Lake Purrumbete in Victoria where they bred sheep and cattle. On the death of the pioneer proprietors the estate, comprising 48,000 acres was divided into four - Purrumbete, Talindert, Wiridgil and Danedite for the next generation.
