Sorry Fae I have no information on Victoria Estate. Regards, Judy

Hi Judy I can't say that I am connected to the Scott family (although my son's name is Scott!!) but I was interested in the location of the photograph, Victoria Estate, Herbert River. I do have a 'Flood' family and in particular one great uncle, Herbert Stephen Flood, who were living there in 1933. I have not been able to find out what happened to him. I know he married Elizabeth Bookall in 1916 and had a daughter named Blanche (whom I have a photo of). Do you have any information on the Estate or can tell me anything about it? thank you Fae in sunny Sydney ----- Original Message ----- From: "The O'Donoghues" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, January 10, 2001 12:13 PM Subject: Scott Family > Hi List > > Is anyone out there related to the Scott Family? > I have a photocopy of a photograph published in Cummins and Campbell's > Monthly Magazine, Nov 1931. > The caption reads: > The Scott Family, Victoria Estate, Herbert River.

I can't do it personally, but I know a couple of Japanese linguists who might be willing to give it a go.

Is there anyone who could translate some Japanese 'symbols' which are handwritten on a Japanese flag circa 1940, please? If so, I could send it as a JPG attachment. There are 3 columns with a total of 17 'symbols' & when printed out it fits on half a page. It's possible that the 'symbols' are people's names. Thanks, Denyse Bonney

Hi List Is anyone out there related to the Scott Family? I have a photocopy of a photograph published in Cummins and Campbell's Monthly Magazine, Nov 1931. The caption reads: The Scott Family, Victoria Estate, Herbert River. Photo taken 35 years ago (which would make it 1896) There are 21 people in the photograph. If you are interested send your snail address to me and I will post it to you. Regards, Judy

Would any relatives of William McKENZIE, who was a sailmaker in Townsville around 1900, please contact me? Regards, Denyse Bonney < [email protected] >

Thank you to all who replied to my QLD port query - much appreciated. ********************************************************************** Karolyne Quinn Ph: 0418 830 662 Ensharla Art- http://www.geocities.com/ensharla/index.html

Elaine, Philip There was a North Star mine in the Argentine mining area west of Townsville but it was quite small. There was another North Star in the Fluorspar area near Chillagoe. D.W. de Havelland makes mention of it on page 383 of Gold and Ghosts Volume 4. There was yet another North Star near Georgetown it would seem and another in the Hodgkinson field. Seems to have been a fairly common name.... If you'd care to email me an image Elaine it might serve to pinpoint the location a bit easier ? Any dates or other info may also assist.

Researching the Brown family who lived in Babinda in the 1940's. Father Malcolm was a schoolteacher, wife Agnes nee Tompson. Two children that I am aware of - a daughter Teresa Agnes born 1919 listed in the electoral role as a clerk and son Ian Malcolm born 1915. Any assistance appreciated Megan Scott Toowoomba

Have you any idea of the location of the North Star or what was mined there?

Would appreciate information re Mr C Wade Browne who arrived at Mackay in 1868 and who leased Bolingbroke station until about 1880 when he left for England, returning to Mackay in 1886. He later retired to Medlow in New South Wales

Hi List Does anyone know who were the original partners in Day Dawn Mining Co. I note Pfeiffer house is a tourist attraction in Charters Towers. He is said to have made his money from Day Dawn Mining Co. My Paradies family owned a mining Lease with Pfeiffer which was sold to Day Dawn. I was wondering if PARADIES also had shares in Day Dawn. Any clues Derek

There were ports in North Qld as well - Bowen (Port Denison), Townsville, Mackay, and Cairns.
