Hi Beryl

Try Billis & Kenyon's Pastoral Pioneers of Port Phillip.

BLACKWOOD STATION - Portland Bay district run no 238, 10,000 acres 5000
sheep.
Muston's Creek, 5 miles NE of Penshurst.
1842 Jas Sceales; Feb 1843 J Sceales and Jas Ritchie; Oct 1845 J Ritchie;

Dan & Simon Ritchie; Feb 1860 D Ritchie; 1866 cancelled.

I missed the original message - what name is being researched? I may be
able to help further.

I've seen a book at the State Library that gives information on all those
early properties, but I'm darned if I can remember the name of it. Can
anyone help Joy with a title?

> What can all you knowledgeable people tell me about the early days
of this station property? I believe it was in the direction of Dunkeld out
through Purdeet and may still exist.

printed information that is available especially about the time 1850 - 1900.
Suggestions as to where to go to start a search are also welcome.
> In the early days before Penshurst had a cemetery - 1850's on -
burials took place there. Does any one know, or have they seen, how big
this cemetery is and if the lists of burials have ever been published? - or
even if there is any evidence now that there were burials?
