Hi List, Margaret is still bouncing to me, so her e-mail is below, then my comments. Margaret's e-mail is fourems@i-o.net.au =========================================== Hi List 1. Can anyone tell me anything about 'Hawthorn Bank Estate' which as I understand it was subdivided I know not when. 2. Is it possible that some one may have the list of purchasers at sub division time? Hawthorne Bank is situated on the East Pound Road area south of Yarram as far as I can tell. I would be greatful for any information please. Margaret ============================================== I have been fortunate to go to this place, and photograph it, execept I handed the photos over to the Senior Land Use Planner at Council, it is so significant. I will TRY and find the negatives at reprint. The first house is a lovely small wattle and daub, with a previously unknown corrugated iron over shingles. Lovingly cared-for by owners who cannot work out who built or owned the original. It is well off the road, and not something that you can just drive past, unfortunately.

Hi List, The Deputy has been even busier! He has changed the photographs in the picture gallery at the AVG home page at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~surreal/AVG/ It now has three postcards that I keep seeing around that I don't know locations for. Can anyone help? And I let him out alone yesterday and he transcribed War Memorials at Sale (including the Boer War for the whole area) and the one at Rosedale. Check out "What's New" on the home page. Cheers Linda Barraclough Briagolong List Owner: AUS-VIC-GIPPSLAND email: kapana@netspace.net.au http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~surreal/AVG/

I would like to thank everyone of you who were so very willing to try and help me with the locating any burial records of my G-Aunt Catherine O'Rourke. This was my first break through with this part of my family and I was about to give up on her. I received many offers of help and I hope I replied to everyone privately. Thank you all. Your very kind. Best wishes, Ann USA

Hello Linda and List I have just been down to Vic and Gippsland area, visiting the Port Albert Museum and found Microfilms for the Rate Books for Alberton 1863-1888 which included my McInerney family. I was wondering if Rate Books exist for Sale in the 1880-1890 period? I loved the Gippsland area and will be returning to spend more time there as I only had three days, definately not enough time. The Port Albert Museum is very interesting and well worth a visit. Regards Sandra Balfour, Beacon Hill, Sydney

Forwarded on behalf of Lloyd, who is not on the List. His e-mail is: m0097i00@cwcom.net Linda ============================================================ Hi All, I heard from a friend in Leongatha over the weekend that a plaque has been placed in Fairbank to commemorate the former Mechanic's Institute, which lasted from the 1890s until its removal in 1981. I was very excited to hear that my gggrandfather, Robert MITCHELL, may have been one of the subscribers to the original establishment. I mean, *a* Robert Mitchell was, and my ancestor lived in the area during the period and afterwards and has an anomalously large memorial stone in Leongatha cemetery (he died in 1907), so ... I'm going to get my friend to send what she has, and I do have other family (not immediate) family members still in the 'Burra, but I thought I'd take this chance to ask if there is anyone else on the list who has connections to the Mitchells and Walkers of Korumburra? (I know we're also connected to the Wilkinsons of Warragul and the Whites of (I think) Neerim South. Furthermore, does anyone else have any info on Fairbank's early history or the aforementioned Institute? Best! Lloyd Enjoying the Autumn sun in Wells-Next-The-Sea, Norfolk, UK

what list covers beechworth or alternatively does anyone know anything about beechworth cemetery and the burial of still born children? Geoff coxon

Regarding McGiltons Funeral Parlour. This business was absorbed by "Handley Funeral Services" in Warragul, contact them and they may well still have the McGilton records. Address is South Road, Warragul, 3820, Principal is Mr. Robert Green. Regards, Bernie G.

Hi List This is forwarded on behalf of Margaret, who is having a little bouncing problem. Her e-mail is: fourems@i-o.net.au ============================================================ Hi list Can anyone tell me anything about Lily's Leaf and why it would have a doctor in residence there? Lily's Leaf is between the South Gippsland Highway and Tarraville. I know the doctor had a home there because I lived in it for the early part of my life. If anyone can help me I would appreciate Margaret ============================================================ I have seen reference to Elizabeth Ann Lawler (1858-1949) being born at Tarraville and living for some years at the Lillies Leaf Hotel, run by her stepbrother James Francis. She later trained as a nurse (going from Gippsland to Melbourne to train in her thirties) and coming back to Yarram to opne a hospital. Altogether, she assisted at the birth of 3,100 babies. So there is another medical connection to Lillies Leaf. Further details are in Gippsland Heritage Journal Vol3, no.1 p54.

Hello all, I am going to do a tour of the goldfieds starting on the 21st November. I will be visiting the following locations and their surrounds; Jericho Red Jacket Matlock Woods Point A1 Mine Settlement Gaffneys Creek Knockwood Ten Mile Jamieson My offer to fellow listers is if you want any photos taken of old buildings, houses, headstones or whatever, I will take a photo and put them up on a web page so you can have access to the pictures. All I require is that you give me as much information on your subject as possible so it will be easy for me to locate. Also I only have a Holden Commodore so off road tracks will be difficult for me to access. I know some of the locations are out of the Gippsland area but my family came into the region via that road and went out the same way, and I figure a lot of other families came in that way. Please give me a few weeks after the 20/11/99 to put up the pictures up as I will be on leave and away from my computer. I will let the list know when the webpage is ready. If you don't have web access we will have to come up with other arrangements. We can work that out later.
