About this blog: random thoughts, discoveries, ramblings. Much of this was originally composed as email to a local history mailing list, rather than being written specifically for publishing, so it's a little disjointed. I figured it was better to get it out to everyone else in rough form rather than not at all.

If you have a common interest in anything, or can add further to the information I've provided here, please contact me.

Here's some search results that pertain to Somerton (at least a couple are new, never seen them before)

Somerton, 'Somerton Inn'
1946
record located in Sydney
barcode 3532551

Suspension of Fawkner Somerton train
1955
record located in Melbourne
barcode 3249489

Somerton - Post Office and related history
c1901 - c1988
record located in Melbourne
barcode 1351972

Somerton Post Office
1866 - 1986
record located in Sydney
barcode 3259112

I suspect the Somerton Inn record may be for a Somerton in a different state, or at the least the year is bogus (the date range is a rough guide and sometimes when you look at the record it's completely off). It is currently closed so I have submitted an application for access.
