Dear Friends, I have three photos of the WARRAWEENA homestead somewhere near Bourke. I guess they were taken around the time of WW1 or before because the only vehicles in the shed / stables are 5 large horse drawn carts. (The 5 visible carts have a single box fitted over a single axle which has huge wheels.) The photos were scanned and enhanced from tiny prints. I can send scanned copies to anyone who wants ....... but I hope you can give me more information about Warraweena ....... Some Warraweena Trivia......................... Cobb & Co fans, eat your heart out.......... : http://www.cobbandco.net.au/Bourke.htm The Dry Lake Hotel, also called Warraweena or The Wheelhouse, burnt down in the late 1950s. Its many remains are still visible, situated between two waterholes (once public, now privately owned) that would have been used by Cobb & Co. The KELPIE dog breed ..............and WARRAWEENA My APPS ancestors movements coincide with the early dog movements, (or vice-versa <<grin, grin>> ) http://www.wkc.org.au/Foundation.html Kelpie was mated again to Moss and her second litter was born either just before or just after Gleeson moved to COX's North Yalgogrin as superintendent. Steve APPS who was employed on Cox's 'Merringreen' station, which adjoined Yalgogrin, was given a female from this second litter which he named Lass often referred to later as Apps Old Lass. The TULLY's were keen sheepdog men, breeders and great admirers of the Rutherford bred collies both before and after the Rutherford and TULLY families migrated to Australia. The TULLY's became well known breeders in the Riverina/Murray/Darling River districts. Mark gave his friend "Moss" a black dog bred by the Rutherfords on Yarrawonga station sired by 'Yarrawonga Clyde' and out of 'Rutherfords Lassie'. Mark and his family moved onto Warraweena station in the Bourke district. Marks grandson Peter states that Mark always used "Barbs" whilst his father William used Kelpies on the Darling River property. Cheers, Tony Moore (Balgo, Western Australia)

Hi Tony Great to see you on the list again. You've been quiet lately. I think I sent you a couple of pages on River Notes which had a little hand drawn map and a few mentions of Warraweena. If not, let me know and I will send them to you. I am looking at another map from the History of Bourke. It has Warraweena as an overall property and within it, Artesia, Glengeera, Farlands, Warrella Plains, Kanimbla, the Lagoon, Prairie, Gumbooka, Warraweena, Lilfield, Marion Downs. I am presuming this is a map of the early run Warraweena and then broken up into holdings. Would this be right? Also found in 1 1997 edition of History of Bourke, reference toa Jack Joynes who was writing an autobiography of his experiences on Corella-Warraweena Stations from about 1939-1952. Probably too late for you, and no contact details, but an unusual name. In 1899 Henry MOXHAM, my ancestor had the Grass Hut Hotel at Dry Lake and from 1905-1921 the WARMOLLS my other ancestors had the Warraweena or Dry Lake Hotel. If I find any more trivia, I will let you know. Cheers Jill Subject: [NSW-W] Warraweena Stn near Bourke - APPS & TULLY
