Hi Rebs Good to see you back. Im not telling you which one it was but I have just sent you an email so you will have to go and have a look. Cheers Sue

Ooh Devly, that's wonderful!! Now don't go getting me all excited, or I'll have a relapse. Which one did you find? Hope it was Bridget, she's my favourite ancestor. Oooh, this is wonderful. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Rebs xxx : )))

Hi Wattlers Well I have been for my brick walk and had some success found 12 out of 34 names so I suppose it could be worse. I met with one of the people behind geting the walk together and they actually take the orders for the bricks, if you know you have an convict ancestor that has not got a brick you can pay for a brick, they call it sponsor a brick, you get a certificate with details of the brick. Anyway I made a new album on Aust surname list and added a pic of one of the bricks, which was one of my ancestors, so you can see what they are like. I think it was wine Trifle that mentioned about being lucky that the council do something like this, well it is not the council but a group of locals doing it. You can check out one of the bricks that the group have done, the walk goes from one end of town to nearly the other with bricks nearly side by side all the way embedded into the footpath. They are adding bricks all the time. The bricks are not actually the bricks that convict made but there are details of the convict on a brick. They used a brick as a symbol of what a lot of convicts made and were known for. Anyway I need email addys for these lucky people as I have a pic to send them of their ancestors brick. Tony, Jude in Melb 2, Jude 3(Joodles I Believe if I have the Jude's right) and Rebs. Sorry to Lara, Vonny and Anna could not find a brick for you :-(( Well must go as nearly bed time, landlord will be back in morning to do the rest of the painting :-)) cant wait to have a nice clean, fresh looking bathroom. Cheers Sue

Evenin' all, Another hot day here but cooler tomorrow. No more work until 10th March for me - yaaaaayyyyy. Jude2(Melb) birthday is 15 January Hi Rebs - glad to see you're back with us - hope you're feeling better. Have just had one of those 'can I view your tree' messages - at least I knew the person as we have made contact before, just wonder what she will think when she gets a message from me in some weird hieroglyphics (is that spelt ok?) The message I got from Genes didn't say Gwenda - it was a long list of nos - what a hoot!!! Hoping that the cleaning angels will visit while we are away but really doubt it and I know I will come back to a pile of washing as my kids have problems with washing machines, dishwashers, vacuums etc. If it don't have food or can't cook food it won't get used. Will look in again before we head off on Wednesday, so catch y'all later Gwenda

Afternoon all and a big thanks to Tony for his help with my research this arvo! Have heard from Hubby who is a little grumpy 'cause he had to travel 13 hours to get from Banff to Whistler (bl***dy whinger!). Went out to the property this arvo to water the olives and all looks good. Some more rain would be handy though. Having a nice little rack of lamb for one for dinner tonight. Sunday roasts, yum. I too have forgotten WT's real name Lara and we can't keep calling her Winey. Perhaps we should just call her Wineo. (lol) Lew Lew

lol Lara babe, you forgetful? never!!! By the way, Trifleys' name is Dianne. xxx Beat me to it Trifley!!! : )))
