Hi from Sunny Australia

My name is Larry Davis and I live at Riddells Creek in Victoria Australia.

My Great Grandparents William & Emma Lingard emigrated from Enfield and Edmonton in 1866 on the "Netherby" and were shipwrecked on King Island in Bass Strait. Thankfully there was no loss of life. Also, my G.G.grandfather Edward Stearn who was born at Ipswich, was transported to Tasmania as a convict in 1839 for stealing Mrs Worthington's goose. I also have ties to Scotland. My wife Dawn's connections to the UK, come from Herefordshire in England & Glasgow in Scotland.

We try to get back at least every 4 or 5 years, with our next return trip planned for 2009.
