Hi Jacquie I would be interested in more details on the Wills family - they owned Cullen-La-Ringo, near Emerald. The family and all but two people on the station were killed by the aboriginals - in turn, the whole tribe was killed. I have a book on Cullen-La-Ringo - one of the Wills boys who was away at University escaped the massacre - went on to introduce a sport for the cricketers to keep them fit in the off season. We Qlders may call it 'Aerial PingPong' but the Victorian's love their 'Aussie Rules'. Most of Cullen-La-Ringo now forms part of the Fairnbairn Dam, on the Nogoa River Lorrae Johnson (born and raised in Springsure - south of Emerald.) http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=helmrich We use and recommend NOD32 Anti-virus software -----Original Message----- From: Jacquie Christensen [mailto:christo1@austarnet.com.au] Sent: Wednesday, 21 July 2004 4:10 PM To: AUS-NQ-L@rootsweb.com Subject: 1857 - 1878 Reminiscenses of James Nisbet Index of Names Hello Listers The following are names of pioneers of Qld pastoral properties contained in a manuscript I have and if you see a name that might interest, I'd be happy to correspond with you off-list and send you excerpts concerning that person and/or property.
