A wonderful online resource

I have just discovered  Trove. It is an online resource that is done by the National Library of Australia.   Have a look at all it's got.  I've spent hours going through the online newspapers and have found heaps of family related information. Google trove and you will find it.

Wonderful Day

I went down to Goulburn, last Wednesday and from there went out to Mummell. Mummell is where my Grandma, Louisa Abberton nee Nichol taught school. The building is still standing and I have been trying to contact the owner. Well he was there and showed us around and gave us some more history of the area. I didn't realise that it was such a big community, in the 1880's. Now to do some more research on it!
