  Wednesday 9 April H - HAY (Co. Waradgery) 34°30’S 144°51’E Situated on the  Murrumbidgee River, it was established in 1858 and known as Lang's Crossing Place until 1861. I loved Hay, from the very flat planes, of farmland as you drive into it, to the beautiful Silo Art and the emus. There is a lookout just out of town, where you can watch the sunset. This link give you more information on  Hay                                                                                                          Silo Art Mrs McGrath and her sheep. Sunset

Before we went to Melbourne, last week, I was given a book and another mystery to try and solve. The book is, " The Road From Coorain, An Australian memoir" by Jill Ker Conway. Coorain is a sheep station in New South Wales, near the town of Mossgiel, which is between Ivanhoe and Hay. That isn't a mystery but the note inside is. H Findlay had penned a note detailing when the author's parents settled on the station. Who the local doctor at Mossgeil was. What the settlement was like and other bits of information, all on a slip of paper no bigger than a 6" x 4" photo. My search is to try and find any descendants of either Jill Ker Conway or H Findlay and to offer them the book and note. Watch this space for updates. Bye for now, Lilian
