[edit] Info added

I've added a bit of info and added references. The Hansard pdf is especially good as a reference as it covers everything in the entire article except the last pargraph. The last paragraph regarding the archaelogical dig has no references as the newspaper reports are not online (but will be in newspaper archives) and because nothing was found there were no papers on it. In fact it is difficult to find anything regarding the old township at all. I live a few hundred mtrs from the reservoir and saw the dig for myself and remember the newspaper reports. I particularly remember that one of the few remaining foundations found was the post office as the mother of one of my friends was the last postmistress there in the 1890's. My own grandfather was a contractor involved in rebuilding the church for the relocated graveyard. Until a reference turns up it's local knowledge. Wayne 16:19, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
