19.01.2022 History repeating... 100 years ago, Australia was facing a deadly virus which emerged at the end of the First World War. The Spanish flu appeared in Australi...a in early 1919 until hope arrived in the form of a vaccine. On February 3rd 1919, B Cannon sent a postcard to Perce Westaway. Referring to the war... Thank God it is all over. The flu or B.Plague as some doctors are saying, is raging terrible especially in Victoria. What an awful thing it is Perce. Image 1: Women wearing masks in Brisbane, 1919.

16.01.2022 I'm chasing some info if possible. I've been researching my family tree and Gottfried August Baumann and Rosina Friedericka Caroline Dilger are my direct 2nd Gr...eat Grandparents. I know they were married at a waterhole in the Caboolture district on the 20th July 1882. Gottfrieds parents were August Baumann & Marie Weber. Rosina Dilger parents were John Dilger & Friedericka Kustner. I would love to know of any stories, newspaper articles, photos that you may have. I would love to know of their history and how they lived and everything in between :) Picture is of Gottfried & Rosina Baumann. Cheers. Mel xo

12.01.2022 The "Palmwoods to Buderim Tramway Track Foundation and Formwork Remnants" is Queensland State Heritage listed. This movie talks of Palmwoods and the Shay that remains in the bank at Palmwoods Station. In the movie you will see the ES&A Bank & Bank Managers House that we would like to secure as a multi-purpose Community Centre and Museum.
