Dianne How soon do you need this info, as I will be down in Victoria over chrissy, have to see Ian Stapleton at Harrietville, and I think Walter Mortimer will be accompanying myself and parents for another trip to Wonnangatta so maybe I can catch up with you at Omeo. I am really concerned about the Talbotville cemetery being looked after (not just huts) as there has been vandalism there, could be from the campers. But the cross was broken off my G Grandfathers grave, thanks to one of the cattlemen returning it to my family. This cemetery is not registered and is open to anything that the government wants to do with it. they last told me they wanted it for tourism, and if the families didn't like the idea we could have the remains removed. This was back several years ago when I was with the Cattlemen's association. To me this is an important place as it contains the remains of some of the first pioneer families in that area.

I am seeking any information on the current hut, which I believe replaced the original Culhane Homestead. I am trying to find out who lived there, when both (hut & homestead) were built. Dates that the property changed hands, and to who. Any snippets about the family of interest ....etc...etc... The more historical and cultural heritage I can get on these huts and their sites, the better it will be. My final report will become the research tool as part of the forthcoming management plan, so need to get as much as possible and as accurate as possible.
