Ann Hall was a close friend of the family and she passed away March last year in Townvill i think it was.

I would definitely recomend reading this book as it is a really interesting read. If anyone is after signed copies, let me know as i have about 40 or 50 at home. Retail is around $30 i think but will sell them for $15. Anyone interested can send me a pm on here.

I am only selling them at that price to get rid of them as i will not be at the centre anymore. $15 is below cost price.

Finished this one, it gives a great insight into the white history of the Cape and answered a question I had about how the name Seisia came to be.

Come on, buy a copy from geoffjy and have a read for yourselves!

Not too many visitors give it a second thought Loxsmith. Only ocasionally does the question get asked.

The mine shafts from Ginger Dick's mine are still there as well as a few remnants of machinery. A lot of people drive past this one without knowing its there. Doesnt help that you cant see the track from the main road.

You just can't beat local knowledge can you!

We need to meet up one day, sink a few cans and solve the problems of the world

Geeze, you would really have to twist my arm there. :D

I've given up drinking after my first race day on the weekend

OK, that's crap, but I might need another coupla days to come good, getting to old for this stuff!

[geoffjy]

Just to a quick one to say that i only have 9 copies of the Holland Family left so if you want one, be quick.

Ann Hall stayed with us for several days when we lived at Lockerbie Station in 1999. One of those days she autographed books for people at the Croc Tent who bought them.
