Ah, Family History. Ack. My gran’s into it, and I’ve heard a fair few interesting stories about how one of the family was a Ships Captain, and Whaler (out of Hobart?), and how a bunch of them worked the Gold fields up at Hill End.

Also: “Iron Knob” … sounds like a character in Shaolin Soccer.

(I know, it’s a place, not a name… yah yah)

Hey Nick! Isn’t it interesting catching up on family history. I wonder if it is easier to do this in South Australia where there is a very strong colonial history present even today (‘My mother was a XXX’ was a line commonly repeated to me by the old dears in the Mallee!)

My father’s mother researched the Christian tree and discovered dear Fletcher there on one branch. Mutiny I say! Oh and my grandfather’s cousin won the first Brownlow Medal in Aussie Rules football, and I know what an absolute fan you are of Aussie Rules :p
