Yes, my family gggrandfather, George Blackwell, went to Wynyard
around 1865 and the family was there through my grandfather connected
with Blackwell Timbers. My ggrandfather, Edwin Orlando (EO) Blackwell,
had something to do with Mt Bischoff, I believe, but I don't know any
details, Anything you can provide will be much appreciated as I am
slowly writing a narrative of the family. My family eventually finished
up in Victoria and me in the US.
