Interesting to see Warraweena mentioned on the list as the property that my Dad owned, and I grew up on, BUNNAWANNA, was part of the old Warraweena station before it was broken up. Dad drew it as a Soldiers Settlers block just after WWII and we lived there 'till 1963. Bunnawanna is located on the eastern edge of the old original holding, our next door neighbors to the west were Lillyfield and Marion Downs. The address was actually Brewarrina as we were closer to it than to bourke. (Since Bunnawanna itself was 25,000 acres I imagine that the original Warraweena must have been huge.)

Dear Jim, I ventured out into the unknown last light and registered as a yahoo- geocities user. I have never done anything like that before. I couldn't stop myself. By 1am I had put 3 photos of Warraweena and 1 of my APPS family on my first ever web site: http://www.geocities.com/tonymoore51 Click on Warraweena homestead. Then, after it loads, click on the pictures for enlargements. The original photos that I scanned were so tiny, about 8cm x 5cm , and it was not until they came to life on a computer screen that their true wealth was revealed. I would think that the original huge station had many houses scattered about. It wouldn't surprise me if this wasn't the main homestead. Although I visited Bre, Bourke and Goodooga for the first time in 2000 I never looked for Warraweena. I was more interested to find "Mogila" at Goodooga, some of the bridges that great grandfather built in the 1870's and 1880's (which are still standing) plus the graves of himself and wife in the Goodooga cemetery. I took my Dad with me then. It was only the second time he had gone back there since 1930 when his parents moved to Sydney. Jim, if you find that the buildings in the photos are actually on "another" station and not the original Warraweena, please let me know. I won't be offended. Looking forward to hearing from you, Tony Moore @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ On 12 Aug 2004 at 17:58, JIM FISHER wrote: > Interesting to see Warraweena mentioned on the list as the property that my Dad owned, and I grew up on, BUNNAWANNA, was part of the old Warraweena station before it was broken up.
