First, yes, I haven't snipped, because I think it is a condensed version of the thread ;) My Uncle, and now his daughter live about 3 kms from the Township that used to be Paradise. It has been a Dam for about 5 - 10 years, (blamed for a lot of the flooding to Bundaberg in the 2011 - 12 horrific floods) and is actually "up" from Bundaberg, as in it is "up" the Burnett River, closer to the start of it. I used to live in Bundaberg, so know the area well. I have quite a few photos of the many plaques they have around the Dam, and also the closed Mine shaft. I think I have a photo of that, too.

KEMSLEY Sent: Thursday, 27 March 2014 11:07 AM To: aus-qld@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [AUS-QLD] Where is Paradise in Queensland? Good afternoon Debbie: Thinking of what you say; I've now a feeling that wherever it is; it cannot be to far up from Bundaberg area, as the "Chap" that was going to live with the family was mentioned as; " he is going to live with us up at paradise when we leave here but already is going to go up for short periods of time for a break away" I've the feeling now that Paradise could be the name of their property or farm inland from the Bundaberg area? It looks as if I shall never know until I can again make contact with the family, which just isn't happening. Many thanks to all. Regards; Robert I don't know if this "Paradise" town (see links) could be what the family was referring to? You said they said they were going "up" to Paradise from Bundaberg not down so I presume they didn't mean Surfers Paradise or Paradise Point both on the Gold Coast. One could assume then it was the old gold mining town; "Paradise" which is in the same area. I suppose the other thought if this doesn't help is that they were referring to a place further up that could be described as 'paradise' however you are using a capital "P" thus presume it is an actual place. Hope that's of some help - this is my first post; Hi everyone! Please remember to snip most of the earlier message before you post any reply......
