Rocketts Overseas - Part 1

Hannah Rockett (1832-1908)

Hannah married John Cundall of Leeds in Brotherton in 1850 and by 1858 had arrived in the State of Victoria. Most of the family “events” are recorded in the towns of Inglewood, Eaglehawk and Tarnagulla - from the 1870s to the 1920s. And here are a few photos of Tarnagulla, Victoria taken in 2011 -

IMA20894w The Golden Way Heritage Trail points out the surviving features from the Gold Rush era.

IMA20900_Tarnagulla Lochcarron (1859), Tarnagulla Store and the Colonial Bank mentioned on the plaque above

IMA20892w The surfaced roads and TV masts seem to be all that has changed ..

IMA20909w “Glenferrie”

IMA20958w This plaque on a cairn not far from the main road states -

“This reef was discovered by New Zealanders from Poverty Bay and called Poverty Reef

1852-1853 13 1/2 tons or 324,000 oz. of gold was obtained

Erected by the Citizens of Tarnagulla”

The value of the gold extracted here now equates to some 548 million US dollars - according to today’s bullion quotation (4-Dec-2012)
