Description
The inscription on a tombstone and a miniature of a 19th century officer of the 28th Regt. sent to serve in Australia, led the author to trace the history of this first owner of a cattle station in Queensland. She wishes to share the fascinating facts she discovered concerning the soldiers; convicts; settlers and aborigines, as well as present day life at Western Creek. Visits, letters, historical and geographical research create a kaleidoscope of people and places in the British Isles and the Antipodes. Amazing co-incidences made her feel "Yes! This is for me!" Kathleen Clarke, B.A. (English, French and Latin) has spent most of her life teaching in England, France and Australia and writing letters. On retirement she took up creative writing, bridge and travelling to far-flung, exotic destinations. She has won numerous prizes for investigations into local history and has self-published a book about her hometown of Eastleigh, Hampshire. Travel articles have been published. She is a long-standing member of the British Brick Society.
