To Mary & all other 'friends' that have complimented me on the production of the bio, THANKYOU, I'm so glad that the end result has been so pleasing. When I originally offered my assistance, I think we had 7 or 8 contributors, so I thought hey what's a bit of photocopying. Then after Denise's persistance we end up with 39! Although it has been a massive time consuming task, printing, collating etc. my family & friends (they don't come 'round anymore) have been very patient. Seriously, I would like to thank Denise for her past continued promptings, and to all bio contributors, the quality of the material is a credit, we have ended up with a very beneficial, invaluable document. Thankyou Denise for allowing me the opportunity to put something into the circus. Many thanks to all. Chris

I think this is the difference between this list and a lot of others Carmel. We are more relaxed about it and we enjoy the friendship. And on both north east lists we have a couple of great listowners Looking forward to meeting my email friends in a week or so. Chris sent an email out the other day regarding the Bios. Chris can you take over about this and give Carmel your email addy please. I don't like to do that without the owner knowing. If you get a Bio Carmel I hope you enjoy - you may even find some family - that is the idea of the Bio regards Denise ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carmel & Len

To all listers - FYI Elyne, a very well known & highly respected citizen, who easily could be dubbed one of the 'pioneering women of the Upper Murray' passed away, aged 88, on Monday at Corryong. This for me is certainly a 'library gone up in smoke'. Regrettably I didn't get to speak to her a couple of months ago - which proves you should grab the opportunity when it's there!!!! (I'm sure her obit will be fascinating reading, she was the wife of the late Tom Mitchell MLA.) Regards Chris
from the concise enclyclopedia of Australia and N.Z. p 589. Leuitenant John Ovens (1788-1825) in 73rd regiment , sent to nsw with gov. mcquarrrie in 1809. in 1823, discovered monaro plains.Promoted to major 1824.ands appointed gov.'s private secretary.

I've learned of a place called Red Hill which was near B/worth somewhere This was around the early 1900's. Does anyone know of this place and where it is/was? Thanks Denise
I am sure most of you will have read of Mick and his coach driving skills. IN fact someone of you who belong to the GSV may have read an article written by his g/granddaughter in the current issue. Two listers on here have mentioned this to me, I have contacted the lady concerned and we have been communicating. I have suggested that she may like to join our lists and see if she can find more rellies or more history on her gg. Is anyone on the list related to Mick who lived for years in the north east. HIs family was in the Everton area I believe. I would be only too happy to give her the connection and you can go from there. Please let me know, I'd like to help her. regards Denise
