Hi List,
I thought I might start by telling the list a little about what I have been
up to. The Lions Club of Lindenow commissioned me to research and write a
history last year, but I really only managed to start in June. So I have
been seeing a few people, and catching up on what has already been written.
There are already some good books on the area, and I think the Lindenow one
by Judy Richardson and Margaret Treasure is still available from the school
- I will check it out and let you know. Unfortunate

Hi List,
My name is Michael Downey and I believe family went to the Lindenow
district quite early, I'm seeking any information on Edward Saunders, his
brother Henry Saunders and their half sister Clara McGowen who married
Joseph Varney and settled in the Lindenow area in the 1840's I think. Any
help appreciated,
regards, Mike

Hi list - all 9 of you!
My name is Peter Robinson and I live, as you will see from my signature
line, in Bairnsdale. I am a ring-in from Melbourne - came here in 1958, met
and married a local girl, and then left again in 1963. We moved around a bit
in OZ and PNG until 1996 when we 'came home' again - in retirement.
While not strictly a local myself, my wife's family (Smiths and Mc Phersons)
have been in Bairnsdale for over 100 years. Her grandparents, Charles Smith
and Elizabeth (nee Anderson) produced 10
Hi Lindenowites,
Just have to tell everyone that today I picked up the specifications book
for William Stevenson, mainly from when he built Scott's Hotel at Lindenow
South (the two-storey version). He also appears to have built the Lindenow
South Railway Station (or, at least tendered for it), and did some work on
the Lindenow School. This was probably while he was living in Bairnsdale. He
later moved to sale, where he was Mayor for a time. I saw a lovely photo of
him greeting Kingsford-Smith. Pity that wa
Hi all,
It's great to see a list dedicated to the Lindenow district!
The recently posted personal introduction has prompted me to write in and introduce myself. I grew up in Walpa, and left the area in the late 1970's, moving to Melbourne, where I lived for many years. I married Hans in the 1980's, and we moved to QLD in the 1990's. While in Melbourne, we regularly visited family and friends in the area, but that's a little more difficult now.
Being a descendant of the Telfer and Evans lines, I hav
Hi Everyone,
Just a short message to let everyone know there are already nine subscribers
to a very new list, plus myself and The Deputy. So I thought I would give it
a day or so before I start posting. I will be mainly throwing in comments
about things I find as I am researching, but welcome all and any other
comments about history and the Lindenow area. But in the meantime, if anyone
wants to jump in and introduce themselves, they are most welcome to do so.
But again, welcome to the list. There are some

Hello Linda,
Let me be first to congratulate you on setting up the AUS-VIC-LINDENOW list.
I am sure that it will be a useful tool in connecting Lindenow and
ex-Lindenow families.
Regards
