Wonderful Chris I shall pass this on to the lady descendant who is well and in her 80s. I think she will be delighted. If anyone can identify with the name, I'd be happy to pass your details along. Her husband is on email and very much into family history. He connects to my Crawford line.

Hi Denise Although I am not connected to the WOODLAND's, amongst the distant branches of my tree a Richard WOODLAND (son of Richard WOODLAND and Susannah BROWN) baptised 24 Nov 1839 Alverstoke, Hampshire ENG, married Caroline CHEESLEY in Melbourne in 1865. Richard and Caroline settled in the Indigo area and their children included: - Susannah b.1866 Barnawartha - James b.c.1868 Chiltern - Caroline b.1868 Barnawartha - Annie b.1871 Indigo Creek - Richard b.1873 Chiltern - Sarah b.1875 Barnawartha - Richard Henry b.1878 Barnawartha If this family is of interest I am in contact with a descendant who has done quite a bit of research on the family.
