Thanks Eric, I've no idea where any of these places are relative to anywhere. I just threw that bit in 'cos it is in my most recent research. It seems that all my ancestors back to the first arrivals in Australia landed in Melbourne 1854 appear to have radiated out. As I am an expatriate Sandgroper now Banana bender, your area is not too familiar to me. Allabest Col

Hi.... Just a brief off-topic comment to Collin........being a true ex-patriot "Mexican" and sometime "Novacastrian", now in Oklahoma, USA, I can imagine how confused an ex Sandgropper now a Bananabender could be in trying to work out the geographics of Victorian place names..... Regards Karan......
