Hi Ross,
Greetings from Halifax, Nova Scotia! In 1884 Elizabeth Munton Downie visited her sister Mathilda Munton Attwater in Grafton, NSW. She had been living at Poplar Cottage on Campbell Street, Moruya and then lived in Sydney for awhile. "Aunt Downie" did not enjoy the trip and was very seasick. Mathilda persuaded her to stay in Grafton and she ended up living there until her death in 1910.
For more information on the Muntons (and to find out how a Canadian school teacher came by it all) contact me at
