Outback Story

This historical account of outback Queensland is the story of my father's life, told in his own words. My grandfather, a horse-breaker for Cobb and Co., acquired (by ballot) a grazing property 45 miles from Cunnamulla. Dad's stories are about growing up in the bush during the 1920s (daily routines, games, education, special occasions, health and home remedies, social events, community attitudes etc), the Great Depression, the Second World War, changes in domestic technology, etc.

The Hodder Collection

The idea for the Hodder History blog came about after scouring many, many web sites that had the information I needed but at an enormous yearly subscription cost when tallied up together. A bit here a bit there anyway I decided that as I have 20 years of my own Hodder information, death certificates from Utah & Aust, marriage certificates from Australia, photos, stories etc, etc, and had saved all my bookmarks on any Hodder I found on the www that it would be a service to genealogists throughout the world to share this research information especially those searching for Hodder connections. Then I took it one step further and thought how neat it would be if the links took you directly to the Hodder surname. So much time is wasted sifting through the irrelevant stuff. Hence the hodderhistory.blogspot.com blog was born and a new world opened up!
