    1. Re: Exodus of men to WA
    2. Trevor
    3. I stumbled on an interesting way of finding missing men who, it turned out, had gone to the WA goldfields. I had an approximate time frame for the 'disappearance' of one of my LOGANs (of Logan, near St Arnaud) but could not find him in WA. Instead, I looked for news of him in the Dunolly and Betbetshire Express, as well as the Tarnagulla and St Arnaud papers of the time. A very time consuming business, indeed, but it paid off with the discovery of a very fulsome obituary giving the date, circumstances and place of his death and burial in Kalgoorlie. It also listed family members and other background information. It is worth considering! Trevor
