Greetings! I saw the message and was going to say that when I worked in the Kempsey District (PMG) we had a telephonist at Taree who came from Jones Island. But as I couldn't remember her name that wasn't a lot of help. Intended to look up the Geographical Names site and I have at last got round to that. It's at: Geographical Names Board of NSW http://www.lic.gov.au/gnb/search.htm But in the meantime, my neighbour Gwen Dundon, who is having computer trouble, called over with the following message: >From "A Geographical Dictionary or Gazetteer of the Australian Colonies" 1848 by William Henry Wells. "Jones. An island of NSW situated in the Manning River, in the County of Macquarie". >Hi Jenny >I used to live on Jones Island! >Leith > >-----Original Message----- >From: Jenny Blyth [mailto:[email protected]] > >Hello there > >Please can anybody tell me where Jones Island New South Wales might be > >thank you >[email protected] >_________________________________________________________________________ Frank Cardiff East Gosford NSW 2250 Australia
