    1. Hi everyone
    2. Shirley Beales
    3. My name is Shirley and I live in Morayfield nr Caboolture.I have joined this list and the Gatton list as I am having lots of fun recreating a few months of the life of a travelling Parson in 1941.It is a most interesting piece of social history which I hope eventually to be able to share with others interested in local Australian hist. I began this project when i found an old diary in a box of rubbish,,just shows how some peoples rubbish is someone else's treasure. There are many names in the diary which may be of interest for list members looking for family connections . I will be glad to look for any that are of interest and pass on all the info available .For my part am hoping that some members may be members of the C/E as that is the most probable church to which the parson belonged going by the termanology used.There are many abbreviations as was common in 1941 words minus vowels ect but place and people names are fairly legible and I have been able to locate his sphere of action more or less on a present day map.Anyone belonging to a local history society would also be of great help too,some event are mentioned and dated specifically and may have pics who knows.I'm not expecting anyone to do in depth historical reasearch ect but just a name here and there ect may help to bring this man to life if he's dead of course!!! if not then I would love to meet him. Thankyou if you can help Shirley
