Very interested in the article. Recently discovered that my 2xg-granfather served on the (apparently final) Yerilla Board of Health, in 1898 & 1899 (it wound up in early Dec 1899, and my 2xg-grandfather departed back to Melbourne at the end of the month). I’d be interested in any mention of him – Thomas Richard ETTERY – you may come across in your records. Ironically, when his granddaughter married she moved to nearby Kalgoorlie (from Geelong) and raised her family there.

Have you been on the Menzies page on my website – https://www.outbackfamilyhistory.com.au/records/town.php?town=Menzies
I would love to see a photo of the mug if you have it and to see a copy of the story of Tommy Lowe. You could email me if possible at moyasharp@outbackfamilyhistory.com.au.

such a joy to read these stories. i have a copy of an article in Australasian Post, August 21, 1993. it is about Tommy Lowe, an 89 year old, who has lived most of his life at Mount Remarkable Station. i also have a souvenir mug, which has ‘MENZIES Keller’ under the crest. maybe it came from Menzies? My late husband went through that area for work in 1963. he was related to Smith family of Wagga Wagga NSW, and knew Tommy.
i would like more information about the mug, or about Menzies.
