Hullo list - I'm still enjoying the snippets from Annette - great stuff. Even if you don't have any names they give a snapshot of society of that time. The emphasis on horses runs parallel to the emphasis on stealing cars etc today. And drinking was a great problem then as now in the courts. And the opinion of the police??!! Does anyone know where Green Swamp was? I have a certificate with that address on it. TIA, Alice.
Hi Alice I found (in the Western Post 1861) a reference to Green Swamp Races. It was signed "A THOMPSON, Green Swamp Inn, Guntawang Road" which would be near to Mudgee. Does this help at all?

Hello Alice One of my ancestors (John Walls) was at Green Swamp for some time. I did find one site that said Green Swamp was now Inverell (? my spelling) Deanne Walls ----- Original Message ----- From: Alice Erickson <wondrlnd@tpg.com.au> To: <AUS-NSW-PILLIGA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, August 22, 2002 7:59 AM Subject: Green Swamp > Hullo list - I'm still enjoying the snippets from Annette - great stuff. > Even if you don't have any names they give a snapshot of society of that > time.
