There is a lot more history to this book than I have the time to write about at the moment.
Ms Marg Stone was related to my paternal grandmother. She was an advocate for archiving family history and celebrating our ancestors. Margaret (my wife) and I visited her at her home on 10 January 1998, my 48th birthday.
Our family already had a copy of this book we'd obtained when it first came out. She gave me a signed original copy and in it is many handwritten annotations and updates.
I will keep it safe for future generations.

Some background that I will remove in the coming weeks. My father Bill’s childhood homes or there-abouts:
The Long Gully/Ironbark home, known as Hill and Dale.
It's at 92 or 96 Eaglehawk Road Ironbark.
The house at 96 Eaglehawk Road Ironbark is subject to Greater Bendigo Heritage Overlay #490 (painting restrictions)
For #92 go to the street view and there should be a green coloured house behind a big gum tree. It’s about three properties from the British & American Hotel just there in Ironbark. The house at #96 is a little further down the hill (closer to Eaglehawk) and closer to the road. The house was still known as Hill & Dale when we stopped to look at it in the 80s with Bill one trip. It was where Lil moved the kids after they lost Vern as far as I know.

Then there’s the farm at Jarklin. Have a look at the Jarklin East Road, east of the Four Posts Hotel. With these coordinates you may see a small dam (ground tank) on the northern side of the road, a little to the west of the co-ords:
36°16'10.2"S 143°58'48.4"E

-36.269500, 143.980111
Google Maps: PXJJ+52 Jarklin, Victoria

That dam: I think that was the one Bill said was where he used to ride his billy cart. There was a house a little to the east of that I think, also on the northern side of the road. Maybe almost as far east as Wright’s Road. However, it could be the house/s to the west of the small dam (back toward the Four Posts Hotel). But not all the way back to Jarklin. It was tucked behind some trees. If it wasn’t the house he was brought up in, it was the nearest one still standing. Easier to tell if I was back on the ground there; and it doesn’t help that the street view is early or late in the day.

That Clinical Psychiatry book and others. Some of the books I’ve been reading are here: https://m0414533224.blogspot.com/2019/03/book-foundations-of-clinical-psychiatry.html There are many more to add; it’s just some of the more important ones are getting listed first. If you want any let me know. I got a lot uploaded in March 2019 because I’d been meaning to upload the info since January 2019. I add more links and background now. I read ‘em ‘cause if you’re on an exercise bike then you’re a captive audience. I could listen to music but I’d rather stimulate the neurons. Dementia course said 150 minutes of puffing aerobic exercise a week, please; that’s the best antidote they’ve found to ward off dementia. The above will be edited at a later time. 20200130
