This is where I share my family stories.
Grannie Learmonth told her family stories leafing through her photograph albums. Grandpa Baulch (and everyone else in the district it seemed) had their favourite story about Samuel Baulch. This spot is where I shall share some of those stories as well as other stories I have collected from family and friends who have shared, helped and encouraged me over the past 40 years or more.
My particular interest is in the history of Dunmore pastoral run. The Dunmore licence was originally taken out by Campbell, Macknight and Irvine in 1842. The Dunmore Diaries were mostly written by Charles Macknight from his arrival in Australia in 1840 to his death in 1873. Dunmore was purchased by my great grandfather Samuel Baulch in 1895 and there are still Baulchs farming part of Dunmore today.
There are many delightful stories hinted at in these diaries and many people mentioned who, for various reasons, had a connection to Dunmore. I shall also tell some of these stories here as well.
And perhaps there will be room to ask for assistance in finding other stories to tell but which stubbornly remain brick walls at the moment.
