Best Wishes to All Does anyone have connections or information concerning Green Hills or the Gilbert River Station [later known as Forest Home Station] via Georgetown, North Queensland. Green Hills Station was taken up by O'BRIEN and WILSON in 1876. The owners of the property in the period 1879 - 1887 were O'BRIEN, HUNT and STEELE. I am seeking any documents, eg. day books, journals, diaries, or newspaper reports, ANYTHING ... that may refer to this property or its employees. I have Jan Wegner's "The Etheridge". Reason: The elusive John MAHER may have been working as a "bushman" on Green Hills Station. I have a Death Certificate for a John MAHER, aged 41 years, on 17 June 1887, who died of congestion of the lungs. It states that he was "20 years in Queensland" and that he was born in West Maitland, NSW. [No information regarding parents etc.] The burial is noted as being at Cumberland, via Georgetown. The informant for the Death Certificate was "Henry C. Seckington, Storeman of Cumberland". Can anyone claim this John MAHER?
