To Camille, Stephen, Peter, Kerry and Joy A cousin of mine attended the school during the years mentioned. She died sometime in the 60's. Thanks very much for the information you sent. Regards Lorraine FNQ

Yes, that's where I remember it too. I used to walk past it on my way to school but never paid it much attention I'm afraid. But I agree that at least part of it (probably the bit with the sign) was at the back of the PA Hospital sort of sandwiched between it and the Dutton Park railway station.

Hi Lorraine, I'd suggest that you contact the Queensland Society for the Deaf - they would probably be very happy to help. Here are some contacts: http://www.aceinfo.net.au/resources/ADD_FOLDER/ADD_listings/ ADDqlddeafsoc.html or just try Googling for them. They're likely to have historical records of institutions - or could put you onto someone who might know, or even remember such a place. Cheers ... -- Stephen, Wollongong.

On both ocassions, Mrs Mary Peters was the midwife. I cannot locate any relatives by this name, and was wondering if there was any other way to look up a name that would show me who else was in her household. Perhaps her husband was also a stockman, same as the father in my family.
