I'm from the States and don't have a real understanding of what areas of Australia are included in "New England". Would someone give me a short idea of what area is and is not include in New England. A rough "border" with main towns will suffice. Then I can reference my map to see what is included. I've got many families that came from Germany to Australia in the 1850's. Thank you!

Hi Nick News sure travels fast as this list is hardly a day old ! > Would someone give me a short idea of what area is and is not include in New England. I only added that to the welcome message a short time ago ! A rough "border" with main towns will suffice. Then I can reference my map >to see what is included. The inland highway to Brisbane , Queensland from Newcastle , NSW is called the New England Highway (Hway # 15 ). The main 2 centres of the New England region are the cities of Armidale and Tamworth which are approx 150ks apart Armidale is a university city as is the home of the University of ..... New England . Tamworth is the home of country music in Australia A www.google.com search will bring up a great many web sites For Tamworth inc NSW as there are a few Tamworths about in the world > I've got many families that came from Germany to Australia in the 1850's. Does this area fit where they settled ? bye Marg Morters New England Mailing List Admin
