Hi Anne, Years ago I borrowed (and read) a book from my local library about Omeo Shire Sorry, I don't know if they still hold a copy. Latest advice from the net is: Pearson, Mervyn. Echoes from the Mountains, and History of the Omeo Shire Council. Omeo, Vic: Omeo Shire Council: reprinted 1994 with index. Enquiries to Omeo Business office of East Gippsland Shire Council, or Octagon Bookshop. From memory, it has good references to Hinnomunjie (spelling from PMG's , as it was then, 1969 list of Post and Telegraph Offices; spelling given as Hinnoomunjie in JRW Purves book: Victoria: The "Barred Numeral" cancellations 1856 - 1912 and the Post Offices which used them. You may be able to borrow it either through your local library, or on interlibrary loan. Drop me a line if any prob's and I'll check out whether its still available at Lilydale. Hope this helps, Mike Skurrie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anne Hollingshead" <hollies@melbpc.org.au> Date: Monday, February 18, 2002 9:14 am Subject: [AVNE] Hinomunjie, Omeo > Hinomunjie, Omeo > > Would anyone know where I could read about the history of this place. > Elizabeth Reid, Amie Stirlings mother, was a governess there > before she > married James Stirling for those who have read "Memories of an > AustralianChildhood" > > Anne > > ---------------- Powered by telstra.com
