And Murmungee is approx halfway between Beechworth and Myrtleford. Omeo has an Historian working with their Historical Society. Think her name was Diana but I might be making that up. If you can find her she may be able to help with the footy team. I was born in Omeo - and burned out in the Black Friday fires of 1939. (Of course, I was VERY young then <g>) Cheers, Nandina nandina@alphalink.com.au ---------- > Dear List, > I have recently been blessed with two old photos, one of > the Omeo Football Team dated 1890, and the other the Benambra Football Team > dated 1900.
