Hope this is of interest - Lillian M Noble, in The Glennies Creek Story, records the following - James Glennie came to NSW with Chief Justice Forbes in 1824. He received Grant No. 160 of 2080 acres of land on Falbrook, which he called Dulwich. Falbrook, today, is called Glennies Creek. Robert Dawson, Chief Agent of the Australian Agricultural Co. had on a visit to James Glennie, been intrigued by the beauty of the distant hill country from Dulwich. He borrowed a horse from Glennie and took a three day ride to the hills to explore them. A few years later he took up a large holding there and called it Goorangoola. It was a grant of 1180 acres given to him by the British House of Commons in 1828. In 1837, Dulwich was awarded a farm overseer from Ireland, Pierce Power, to improve farm conditions but after several years, battling drought conditions he left and took up a position at Goorangoola. He had received his pardon whilst at Dulwich as it was found he had been wrongly accused and was not guilty of the offences for which he had been deported. regards Malcolm Glennie Holmes Wagga Wagga Australia ----- Original Message ----- From: scott <sunchase@iprimus.com.au> To: <AUS-NSW-HILLS-HAWKESBURY-HUNTER-VALLEY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, 23 June 2002 11:57 Subject: [H,H,HV] "Goorangoola" > Could sks tell me where "GOORANGOOLA" is or was.

Hi Malcolm, Many thanks for that interesting information. Do you know if there would be a list of convicts and workers who were assigned to Goorangoola?

Hello Malcolm, I see you live in Wagga Wagga, have you heard of any members of the KISS family there? I have heard there is, or was, some of them there. I was a KISS before marriage, and of course am researching the family. Just a stab in the dark....

Hi Malcolm, Don't know if this is relevant, but I have an ancestor Harriet Ferguson (nee Forner) who was visited by a Rev Alfed Glennie at Mangrove Creek, after the death of her husband. I believe the Gosford Historical Society has a copy of his diary. He also baptised another relly. Is this man connected to you?
