Staying at Kandanga for the next few days. For those who don't recognise the name it is 25 kms south west of Gympie. My great grandparents are buried here, hence the cemetery photo. The sad fact is that their graves are the slight depressions in the bottom right of the photo.
The records did not have their names correct but we found some very helpful people here to help correct the mistakes. Also found school records of my mother's first school at Yabba Vale. She was one of the first pupils of the school when it opened in July 1928. Sir Earl Page was supposed to open the school but it was delayed by floods. Strange how the connection continued when Kate was at Earl Page College. Apparently he was the person that got the school established as he owned land here and my grandparents went to work for him here and at Grafton.
Had dinner at the bowls club just over the railway line from where we are parked. The locals are very friendly and this is a great community that bigger towns could learn a bit from.
Off to the coast tomorrow for a bit of scenery.
