Debra, My grandparents also came from Majorca - Gibbs and Franklin. Can I suggest that you look at purchasing 'Majorca the Last Eldorado' by Daryl McLeish. It is available from the Visitor Information Centre at Maryborough for $25. It gives a good overview of Majorca but unfortunately contains a few errors - still worth the money though.

I went through Majorca yesterday - took photos of three ruins - oops two, the best was down the road at Red Lion. Also a house that was possibly still lived in but of an older style. There were also two old houses up the road, closer to being Craigie than Majorca It hink. Anyone wanting such a photo sent to them, let me know and I will send them on - can't do it to the list. I got two old shops, in effect, in Majorca. Also a magnificent bluestone building, no roof and only half still has rafters, that though small, could have been something like a town hall, at Red Lion. Does anyone know what it really was? And then on the Red Lion to Talbot road, almost at Talbot, there is a magnificent roofless and backless two storey country home. Thanks John for your advice re the book - I may well buy it.

Hi all, The building you are referring to at Red Lion was originally a hotel, some years ago someone was going to restore it and while they did some work nothing has happened for some years. If you want to know more about these buildings you took photos of let me know and I will fill you in when I have more time.
