Hullo All, Three of my connections arrived in Townsville ion 23/5/1888 aboard the Quetta. They apparently 'went to' Mrs Norris - Strand Miss Goldring - Woodlands Lionel Fairley - German Gardens Who were these people? Would they have employed my three ladies? Did they run boarding houses/ Anyone got any thoughts on this? Thanks, Lorraine.
