Many thanks for taking the trouble to write so fully, Jeannie. I must track
down copies of these books.

You mention the name "Chapple". Could that be a spelling error? The reason
I ask is that I have a CHAPPELL born in Mitiamo in 1932, a descendant of
the Tarnagulla/Dunolly PETERS family I have been tracing (and still alive,
so won't make further public comment.)

I was also pleased to note the following comment in your post: -

| For those interested in this area, the other books on the history of
the
| local schools (lots of photo's in each!) are Memories of School Days at
| Pompapiel, Calivil South, Prairie West and Hayanmi; Memories of School
Days
| at Serpentine, Bears Lagoon, Jarklin and Hurstwood; Memories and School
Days
| Dingee, Tandarra Plains, Tang Tang, Mitiamo, Yalook, Prairie, Tandara,
"Old"
| Mitiamo.

You might recall I asked a question a few months ago about the location of
YALLOOK because I had it as a place of birth for one of the PETERS family.
Listers were of the opinion that the location was actually Yambrook and, in
the absence of any information about such a place as YALLOOK (or YALOOK) I
had to conclude that there was no such place.

Since you have mentioned it, above, I now have confirmation that such a
place does (or did) indeed exist! Thank you for that bit of information.
