Hi List I am looking for information on Henry Thomas TISDALL who was the schoolteacher at Walhalla around 1875. Is the picture on page 37 of the Gippsland Heritage Journal no. 16 of him? Tisdall was also an expert naturalist who was the first to describe and illustrate, in 1885, the fruiting of a fungus known as Blackfellows' Bread, a still rare event. I have just had the privilege of witnessing such a fruiting. Tisdall's son, Henry Frederick (Fred), was the first teacher at Hillend school in 1891and taught my great uncle Alfred (Fred) BURGESS and probably my grandmother, Mary Ann, who was a teenager and soon to be married, but who had not previously been to school because there was no school till then at Russell's Creek or Hill End.
