Hi Hugh, It's been a while since we communicated - hope all goes well with the search. I've not got anything new on the connections down in Carboor area - I simply haven't been working on that in the past few years, but hoping I will be back to it next year. I'm the one who found a Hurdle Creek in the Beechworth-Stanley region on a mining map I have here. Happy to copy that section for you if you would like it. regards Denise -----Original Message----- From: aus-vic-ne-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aus-vic-ne-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Anne Hanson Sent: Tuesday, 16 October 2007 9:21 PM To: aus-vic-ne@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [AVNE] Hurdle reek/Hurdle Flat Hi Hugh, I am familiar with the Carboor area as I was friends with one of the Bussell girls. Another lister checked a map she has at home and yes, it now seems there are two Hurdle Creeks - the one that rises in the Upper Carboor and one that and I quote: "Hurdle Creek starts at Chinaman's Flat and Deep Creek runs off it." Am hoping Denise will see this e-mail and will respond accordingly. By the way I love Carboor area - particularly between Carboor and Edi Upper - catching trout on the banks of the Hurdle Creek most definitely sounds idyllic.

However, the Hurdle Creek rises in Carboor Upper, passes down through Carboor, Bobinwarrah and enters the King River between Docker and Oxley, if my memory serves me correctly. I was raised in Carboor and spent many an idyllic hour on the banks of the Hurdle Creek catching trout and redfin, and in the fifties and sixties they very often made a tasty evening meal.
