Ooops! In my last message I said I will transcribe the Western Post to December 1862 - sorry, I actually meant to December 1861 (thus the 'sixth months to go' statement,since we are up to July 1861). About 4 months or so ago I posted a lot of information - mainly lists of names (land leases, subscription lists, land purchases, etc) that were from the Western Post & Mudgee Newspaper from 1862 to 1864. These were posted mainly to the NSW list as were more statewide in nature. If you didn't receive them then a search of the NSW list archives could be worthwhile. Perhaps at a later date I will have time to transcribe 1862-4 more thoroughly but it won't be immediately. Sorry to disappoint you all. :-( Annette Piper Coolah NSW
