I would like to find out how Peter got there! Hi Donna Am very tempted with my answer but must have some decorum about the place I suppose :-) There is a fairly large book a year or 2 back entitled the 'Hibbs Line' by Alan MAUNDER . Should think this should tell all you ever wanted to know + some ! The Central Coast FHS library has this tome BUT our library is closed til 15 Jan I thought I had Alans email address but cant find it. Several of the HIBBS very early settlers around Brisbane Water ( Gosford) bye Marg Morters Central Coast Family History Society GOSFORD NSW Australia .
