thomas buzza (c. 1833 – 25 april 1904) for some years owned sawmills at back creek (near sandhurst), then myers flat (where payable gold was found in 1882), then the wyuna steam sawmills near koondrook, victoria and the gannawarra steam sawmills. he built the "emily jane" (probably named for his wife) in 1875 (and skippered her 1877, 1880) and barge "goulburn" in 1876. in 1882 he built "white swan" and converted the "emily jane" to a log barge. but he continued to run a steamer "emily jane", perhaps "white swan" renamed, and was her skipper 1882 to 1887. in 1893 he sold up to run a business in eaglehawk, victoria, but returned to myers flat in 1898.
