When the Governor, Lord Belmore, returned to Britain in February 1872, he sold his equipages to a livery stable keeper in Sydney. The newly rich Holtermann bought the vice-regal carriage, complete with a pair of showy grey horses and silver-plated harness and took it to Hill End, where his band escorted him through town playing ‘See, the Conquering Hero Comes’.
