aquifers, windmills can draw the water to the surface to be stored in tanks. Well over a hundred years ago, windmills were being used by townspeople to access
Gilgandra's fresh, drinkable artesian water for their household needs, and by farmers for water for their stock. Windmills were being advertised in the first Gilgandra newspapers of 1905, with several local people selling and installing them including plumber Bill Hitchen, later famous for organising the 1915 Cooee march. Locals and others referred to Gilgandra as a "town of windmills" from the early 1900s and many references to this can be found. In 1948 it was reported that there were over 300 windmills in Gilgandra. Many can still be seen dotted around the town but few are now in use. The shire council built a reticulated water supply in 1966, reducing reliance on private windmills. The Gilgandra Shire Council draws on artesian water, operating a network of nine bores to supply water to Gilgandra. In 2016 Gilgandra had the largest single annual licensed entitlement to water from the Great Artesian Basin of any shire council in NSW, at 2,020 megalitres.

Committed to the Country Party, he led its Lawson and Castlereagh electorate councils for two decades before becoming chairman (1957) of the New South Wales division. In 1958 he was elected to the Senate. He was also Chairman of Committees including federal party's rural finance committee and Deputy President of the Senate from 1952–64 and Minister for Repatriation from 1964-70. The suburb McKellar in the ACT (2617) is named after him.
