On the page at the stories en there is also printed."Halstead Printing company Limited, Arnold place, Sydney.
I don't know if you can still get it. Maybe Antiquated booksellers may be worth a try.
I'm still trying to find out things about Annandale too.
Take care, safe travels .

Hi Marilyn1,

Take care. Bye Ma.

Hi Marylyn- Run-seekers and settlers.
The first of these early run-seekers (on the Queensland side) was Patrick Drinan. He took up Annandale Station on the Mulligan River, in July, 1876. This holding he disposed of to R. M. and W. Collins in the following year, from whom it passed, in 1881, to Edward Wienholt, a well-known squatter, who at various times held Katandra, Warenda, and Saltern Creek, and other properties in Queensland.
Drinan was a native of Gladstone, Port Curtis, Queensland, in which district his family held an estate named "Annandale." The Mulligan River leasehold took its name from the Gladstone estate. It was John Costello, afterwards of Lake Nash, who purchased the Gladstone Annandale from the Drinans, and Robert Lyons, afterwards M.L.A. for Mount Morgan, acquired the property from Costello in 1884.
Kaliduwarry Station, also on the Mulligan, was taken up by John Duke Graham, in December, 1876. He subsequently sold to Urquhart Bros., and Angus Fraser in 1878 and they were still in possession in 1899.
Take care, safe travels.
Bye for now Ma.

Back again Mrt,
Yes, It would've been more like a river then,this year.
There was a time that it was on the Mulligan River according to some. It's now more widely known as the Eyre Creek.
What ever you call it the Cooper Creek runs into it and as we know the Coopers has been refilled several times this yr.
What is it that you want to find out, you may know more than I do. Is it the story about the Angels of Annandale?
Take care,safe travels.
Bye Ma.

Hi mrt.,I didn't even look at the computer yesterday, so sorry for the delay in reply.
I was speaking to a fairly reliable source who told me that this book was about Annandale.
When I went back through Nana's' things I found the book.
She has 2 other books bound in leather & autographed by the author. No roads go bye is also bound in leather so it too was very special to her.
I read it yrs. ago.
How did you find out that it was about this other station.?
I'm still trying to find out a lot about Annandale myself. My rellies in Birdsville don't keep in touch & I wouldn't know if I fell over all but one of them.
I have an Aunty in Adelaide who might know a bit more. We never see her & talking to her by phone is very difficult. She is 3/4 deaf & I'm half deaf.
What is it you would like to know, I could ring her & try to find out , she was a Morton from Birdsville.
With warmest wishes of the season and every good wish for the coming new Year. Pa & Ma.
Take care, safe travels.

Hi Mrt.
It appears that you're correct about the book I've spent ages chasing it up. I'm on to a new base of knowledge now, will see how I go with his information.
You still haven,t told me what it is about Annandale that you're wanting to know. My reasons are that it is supposed to be in my family history on the Morton side.
Take care, safe travels. Ma.

Hi Ma and Pa thanks for you response, any information at all would be helpfull, I,m studying history in western Queensland and Annandale was chosen by the teacher for me, as I said before I read the book no roads go by and it was about a station east of Lake Fromme thanks for your help so far, you can e/mail me direct at marlyn1@tpg.com.au

Hi Mrt.
Hi again. Now I know what you're wanting. I will send you via private Email. Too much detail for putting on here , mainly contacts.
Bye for now Ma.
