Hi all Does anyone have access to the book "Whispers from Ironbarks" Stuart Town Bicentennial Committee, 1988 I just want to know a bit of history/photos of the place and wether the name WALKER is mentioned. many thanks Sue Frape WEST & WALKER Wellington, NSW MCINTYRE & CLARE Coonamble, NSW

Hi Sue, I have submitted the Wellington article to the List-but understandably this has not been put out as yet (the List Ad Min has more important things to concentrate on at the moment). However I notice that in the 1875 Conditional Land Purchases in the area for July(in same newspaper as the article) - M.WALKER - Parish of Boduldura - 40 acres. Any relation?

Hi Rusheen I only have two Walker names at this stage Margaret and her fathers name William, so it would still be interesting (just in case) to have a copy of the article, also I am interested in the history of the area. many thanks Sue ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rusheen Craig" <recraig@optusnet.com.au> To: <AUS-NSW-CENTRAL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 7:12 PM Subject: Re: [NSW-C] "Whispers from Ironbarks" > Hi Sue, > I have submitted the Wellington article to the List-but understandably this > has not been put out as yet (the List Ad Min has more important things to > concentrate on at the moment). > However I notice that in the 1875 Conditional Land Purchases in the area for > July(in same newspaper as the article) - > M.WALKER - Parish of Boduldura - 40 acres. > Any relation? > Regards ...............Rusheen. > > > > From: "steven frape" <frapessa@adam.com.au> > > Reply-To: AUS-NSW-CENTRAL-L@rootsweb.com > > Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2003 18:41:40 +1030 > > To: AUS-NSW-CENTRAL-L@rootsweb.com > > Subject: [NSW-C] "Whispers from Ironbarks" > > Resent-From: AUS-NSW-CENTRAL-L@rootsweb.com > > Resent-Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2003 01:20:41 -0700 > > > > Hi all > > > > Does anyone have access to the book "Whispers from Ironbarks" Stuart Town > > Bicentennial Committee, 1988 I just want to know a bit of history/photos of > > the place and wether the name WALKER is mentioned. > > > > many thanks > > Sue Frape > > WEST & WALKER Wellington, NSW > > MCINTYRE & CLARE Coonamble, NSW > > > >

Sue, I don't have that pubn but I have another one, IRONBARK CHIPS by George ALTHOFER pub in 1980 by Macquarie Publications Dubbo. It is a combination of old yarns about locals and places in the area and has a few pencil drawings of old buildings and a couple of group shots. Unfortunately (and typically) it is not indexed and there are not too many names under the photos. I had a quick scan but couldn't see the WALKER name mentioned. Do you have a first name or specific business or property name etc. and I'll have another look.
