Thank you for your kind words, Louise! There's so many stories out there, I love shining a light on those that aren't as well known.

I am finding my stories for the Family History society Wwstern Australia FHWA. We are doing a database of all the people in WA's ghost towns - there are over 500, and this will take years. Its fascinating - best wishes, Louise
