Family history

About 5 years ago my Dad and I went to visit Nhill in north western Victoria. He was born there in 1917 and spent the first 4 years of his life there. His father and older brothers had helped to make the road that goes through there to Adelaide. His aunties had run the local post-office and his grandparents had lived there on a property. Their house is no longer there, but we went to the site and found some broken china-ware sticking out of the ground. I collected it and have placed it in a frame which is now in my home. The pieces remind me of the many meals the family would have shared in those early days - our own archeological dig!
