OOPS! In my posting today re the Eaton-Coull wedding report from Marg, I stated that Alexander Olsen had the first oil powered launch operating in Brisbane Water at Gosford. Well he did, but he bought it from a local storekeeper who had it built to deliver goods around the estuary and for some reason found it unsuitable for his needs. Olsen used it though, for public outings. Alex was licensee for a time of the Fern Tree Hotel in Mann Street, Gosford, and when he left to take up residence with his family at Stockton, Newcastle, he kept the Royal Hotel there. Regards, Gwen
