Hey that's really something MJM. 

Just Googled up Norah Creek Road. Not much in any direction as the way that crow flies.

Well done, definite crack in a brick wall.

Well Well Well - can't say I didn't tell you green-girl that miracles happen on Rootschat  

JM - you can now have the rest of the week off - top of the class, first rate and all that    

It's over to green-girl now to follow up on her gt grandmother and we wish you all the very best of luck.

Cheers and many thanks

TROVE is the legend ... I am not one .. not even in my own lunch box .... I am just a Vegemite sandwich lass who  loves beetroot on my hamburgers followed by an old fashioned cream bun ... cream buns as used to be found in Eugowra ...  stale yeast buns with currants freshened up with real cream.....

BUT I will be at NSW SL and NSW SRO mid Feb this year so will add Norah Stn to the TO DO list if you gtive me some more detailed clues... 

Fingers crossed that Green Girl will be so very pleased with her family's reading of those Treasure Trove finds cause it sure puts the cream into the stale buns.

Cheers JM

Will be interesting to see if there's anything at the Library or Records office and thanks for adding it to your (probably very extensive) list

Cheers

Hi Di, and green girl     

Just now, while looking for another chap with surname commencing DU etc  for someone else at RChat, I came across this :

DUNNE J E, Wattle Flat
It is attributed to the NSW Govt Gazette 1873 pt 1, pg 190, unclaimed Colonial Letters....

Cheers,  JM

Thanks JM - I think green-girl is still waiting for the cert to arrive but hopefully she's seen your message and will follow up on this guy as well.

Much appreciated.

There was a station near Walgett   called  Colina or Colma or Colona or Colnia  which was owned by a man called Dunne in 1900.   I know this because my great-grandmother's first husband died there.    Every copy I have ever seen of the name of the place is illegible.

Cannonbar was close to Nyngan, quite a long way from Mungindi.  When the railway came to Nyngan,  the pub and the post office and whatever else was at Cannonbar was shut down and moved to Nyngan.

Just to add to this discussion regarding Mungindi.  My grandfather was born there, but interesting on his AIF papers he described his place of birth as Mungindi, County of Queensland in 1915. I know it is the same place because it was where his mother's family were from. She was also born there but I have never been able to find a birth record. Charlotte Worthington Lees. I know she was actually born in 1874.
