Hi Shirley I have just finished reading "The Secret River by Kate Grenville and apart from being an excellent read, from what I can tell it is very near the truth. Ms Grenville prides herself on historical accuracy and does extensive research on her subject matters. You will find an insightful interview with Kate here: http://www.abc.net.au/rn/arts/bwriting/stories/s1414510.htm Further to support the accuracy of her writing, you may be interested in reading "Searching for the Secret River" which is the companion book for the original novel. In this she goes into further detail about how she formed the idea for the novel and the research she did. Here is an overview of this book: http://www.dymocks.com.au/ProductDetails/ProductDetail.aspx?R=1921145390 I haven't read this book yet but having loved "The Secret River", being passionate about my family's ancestry in the Mangrove Mountain/Hawkesbury District and being a budding writer myself, I am keen to get my hands on it! Also, as suggested by Cathy, "The Ferry, the Branch and The Creek" is a wonderful book to start with for researching the history of this area. My copy is very well loved (read: dog eared!) as I often refer to it when confirming other research. If your family has any Everingham/Woodbury ancestry another good non-fiction series is the Everingham Trilogy by Valerie Ross. The first 2 books ("Matthew Everingham-A First Fleeter and his Times" & "A Hawkesbury Story") give a fantastic facts-based account of the first settlers in the Hawkesbury Region with the 3rd book, "Cornstalks" being a genealogy list of Everingham's descendants. Hope this information has been some help to you! Kind Regards Rebecca

Hi Elizabeth Thanks for your advice. I have seen the Convict Trail site and know it well. It is great and I have used it to teach my class at U3A about the Great Northern Road . I am looking more for human stories of the settlement and the families who settled there. I have been told that the Wiseman family are not very forthcoming with stories of their family but would like to know about other families in the area. I will email again after 20th. Enjoy your grandchildren.Thanks again Shirley Shirley, If you email me to remind me after the 20th Jan I can let you have a list of most of the current books published about the Lower Hawkesbury. Currently many of my book shelves are hidden behind grandchild barriers. Sheets thumb tacked to the shelves. If you want some instant history see the Convict Trail Project website. www.convicttrail.org The old standard is M.Hutton Neve's "The Forgotten Valley" It was written before ready access to BDM indexes and has some problems.

Hawkesbury Advocate, Friday, March 16, 1900 (page 7) RICHMOND. The sale of booths &c., in connection with the Kurrajong Races, were sold on the course on Saturday afternoon last, and realised the following prices : - Publicans Booth, Mrs. Edwards £5 ; Gates, H. Stevenson, £16/10/- ; Refreshment Stall, J. Ashton, 10/- ; Messrs. Guest and Skuthorp were the auctioneers. Local folks are anxiously waiting to hear further details of Lieutenant Holborow's injuries, as reported last week by cable. Colonel Holborow is of opinion that the wound is what the Medical Army Corps term a flesh or slight wound, but it is with others waiting anxiously for the next mail from South Africa, for details of "Racs" experiences. We regret very much to have to report that Miss Gertie Sly, daughter of Mrs. W. Sly of the Black Horse Hotel, was taken suddenly ill during the week. For some weeks past this estimable young lady has not been in her hitherto bright mood, and it is the sincere wish of the many friends of the family, that she soon be restored to health again. Dr. Helsham is at present in attendance. Mr. Frank Wood, of North Richmond, contemplates starting on a trip to England at the end of the month. The Military authorities have taken "Toxana" for the headquarters of the 3rd Infantry Regiment, and from April 1st the business of the office will be carried on at new quarters. "Toxana" should be found much more suitable than the present building, and all the equipment in connection with the Regiment will now be transferred to Richmond. Rumours are rife concerning the alleged unhappiness of a married couple well known in Richmond, and facts of a very painful nature are expected soon to be made public. It is hoped that rumour in this instance is a lying jade, and nothing will transpire to dim the sunshine of "loves young dream." The district is gaining a somewhat unenviable notoriety with regard to moral matters now-a-days. Mr. C. Ausburn, the college electrician, has just finished installing the new section of stables at the H. A. College, with electric light. The electric power house and laundry, at the Institution, is going up rapidly, under the supervision of Mr. Adam Brooks, the college carpenter, who is acting for the Government architect. When finished the Electrician will have more room for his work, whilst steam and light will be supplied all through the Institution. A local builder was one day in conversion with several friends, when he was accused of using inferior materials in the construction of some cottages he had recently built. A hot argument followed, in the midst of which a gentleman arrived who lived in one of the cottages and the matter was referred to him. "Well gentlemen," said he, "I can assure you they are the most convenient houses I ever lived in. Why, when I first moved in, I had to open the door to get into my bedroom, but now I can walk in through the cracks." The Municipal election, over which so much interest has been evinced, turned out to be a big disappointment on Tuesday last, when all the nominations were found to be informal. It appears that Messrs. C. Ausburn and Alfred Smith were the only two candidates, and their nominations were handed in too late. We understand Mr. Smith withdrew his nomination, leaving Mr. Ausburn as the only candidate. It now rests with the Government to appoint an Alderman. The Mayor has forwarded the facts to Sydney, and recommended that Mr. Ausburn be appointed, so at last aldermanic honors are in reach of Mr. Ausburn, and we feel sure that if elected he will be found doing his duty fearlessly and faithfully to the ratepayers. We understand that Dr. Watson's nomination was forgotten altogether.
