Hi Pat and List, This school would probably be "The Farm" school, No. 3481, near Waterholes, north of Bairnsdale. It apparently opened in 1904, and in 1911, when Waterholes school closed, its furnoture was moved to The Farm. It closed in December 1919. Waterholes, No. 3529, opened in 1907, and operated for some time with Clifton Creek school. I have not seen records for either The Farm or Waterholes. However Clifton Creek is still open, and published a substantial history. I would suggest you contact them and see if they can assist.
