I have become adicted to Ancestry.com and am lucky enough that one side of my family can be researched way back into the dim times.
The other side has hit a brick wall and I have to wait until someone else in the world may have more information.
How is everyone else going?

I found this picture today.
It is of the Bush Inn in New Norfolk.
It is the oldest continuous licensed hotel................built in 1815.
This one is of St Davids Park.............it was the first cemetery in Hobart where the free settlers were buried.
SOme of the headstones are still there in a wall..................but I think read somewhere that families who could not afford that sadly had their headstones broken and removed.
This is my favourite church..............I have drawn this church many times over the years.
It needs lots of money spent on it..........it has sandstone cancer.
It is called Holy Trinity Church............and I think it was built in 1848.
It was recently de-consecrated..........and is now owned by the Greek Church...(I think).
The is the Campania Hotel..............it was built in 1877 as a stop for anyone using the railway.......and slowly the small town of Campania grew around it.
Sadly someone burnt it to the ground last week.
This is Cornelian Bay...............it used to be the Government Farm...........many convicts worked there.
But it was chosen as the new cemetery in 1874...........many were not happy as they felt it was too far out of town for them to visit their dead....................(it is only about a 15 minute walk from Hobart)
