Passing this on from another list, Euroa is in Victoria and anyone researching the North East of Victoria may find this interesting. Incase anybody is interested to see the Euroa Butter Factory, it is going to be on 'Hot Auctions', Wed 19th & 26th March. 8.00pm. Channel 7 / Prime. It was sold last October for about $385,000. When the Butter Factory was built in 1901, a managers residence was incoporated, the residence has been renovated but the factory part is still much the same as in 1901, except the machinery is not there anymore. It is a very imposing building. Hopefully we are going to see some of the inside on the show. There has been no butter made there for a long time, more than 50 years. Cheers, Robynne

I am so glad that I am a social drinker, about a month ago I called into my local bottle shop for a tube or 2 of the good stuff for medicinal purposes of course and at the check out the girl noticed my name on my credit card and said " We have the same name but mine has 2 T's" I said "That doesn't mean much, some of my rellies spell Paterson with 2 T's". One thing led to another and it turns out that she has a sister on a working holiday in Perth and we exchanged info and lo and behold the 2 girls Great Grandfather is my Grandfathers brother, I have been trying to get in touch with any of my mob still living for about 3 years now and now this. My drive is restored and I am off again. Banj, banjo1@bigpond.net.au

This is a LONG shot, but is there anyone researching the life of Freeman King Cobb of Cobb & Co. I know there are several books on the subject of King and his company, but I am hoping to get in touch with someone who may be able to assist me with the life of King before his arrival in Australia. No, I am not writing a book about him. regards Denise
