    3. Hello, Linda Yes, I have a copy of that book. Do you want me to scan the photo of Dr Arbuckle and send to you or to Lorraine? Noticed also various brief references to Dr Arbuckle in 'Caledonia Australis' [in 1841] including: "Arbuckle had his two-year-old daughter, Flora, with him. He was a widower and a very resourceful will o' the wisp." In actual fact Flora Arbuckle didn't arrive in Australia until 1856 when she was 18 years old! Wonder where Don Watson got his version from. This is not the only error I've picked up in Watson's book - he has my McDonalds coming from Skye when they were from Ulva & Gometra just off the coast of the Isle of Mull. Regards, Sandra. > Is there anyone out there who has both a copy of Richard Mackay's > "Recollections of Early Gippsland Goldfields" AND a scanner. -- Peter & Sandra Beckett PO Box 381 Hastings 3915 Victoria, Australia Home : 03 59791237 Mob : 0419 508585 Email: pbeckett@peninsula.starway.net.au
