Dan Bowman took this group photo of the Holt/Robinson’s and others at a picnic in Lady Barron 1916. Dan possibly took the photo of the people standing in front of the hut.

my name is David John Holt , my grandfather was Harold John Holt….. and my Dad , Walter Holt .
i visited Flinders approx 15 yrs ago……i am holding a small piece of paper you gave me and it says ”always a Robinson” and also ”knows the history”…..your writing…..paper almost transparent now!
i have just been reading a book called TRUGANINI Journey through the Apocalypse , it talks of a Aboriginal warrior called Mannalargenna and also a woman Woreternaterlargner , is this some strange coincidence as when i track the family tree it shows a man called Mannerlarenner Palawa whom ”passed” same date as the warrior mentioned in the ”Book” with sibling Woretenattelargenne and Emerenna (Bet Smith) , names can be misspelled and also i have notice some Original People can be called different names ….as can be Dave David etc.
…….also names can be common among different races.
Peter what is your knowledge on this.
regards
David Holt.
Deepest apologies to all if you are not still with us.
Hello David, good to hear from you both Peter and Joy going well. I will email you privately warm regards Deb
