Farina is located approximately half way between Leigh Creek and Maree The ABC carried this article in May 2010 see http://www.abc.net.au/news/2010-05-19/restoring-farina/833862 Restoring Farina - The Project Convenor of the Farina Restoration Group, Tom Harding, says students from the Leigh Creek Indigenous School have helped out as well as professional stone masons. Mr Harding explains to Kieran Weir what they've been up to." I have been told that another segment about Farina is scheduled for 14 July 2013 on Landline Another aspect is that Flt Lt John Napier BELL born North Adelaide having resided at Farina with his parents then became the first WWII RAAF casualty along with F/Sgt HARRIS of NSW when their aircraft was brought down in Brittany on a secret mission to rescue the family of Charles De Gaulle. I would like to get in contact with the descendants of the BELL family so if anyone can assist please contact me first. thanks Alan Melbourne
