Penhillvale - Greathead home

I contacted Germaine the daughter of John and Julia Greathead who informs me that Penhillvale, the original Greathead home is in Elliott Heads Road (previously named Barolin Road) and is on the left hand side of the road, coming from the town, and about 1/4 mile before the Woongarra State School. It used to have an avenue of Bunya Pine trees but she is not sure if they are still there. The house was quite a distance back from the main road. She lived in a house that was about 1/4 mile closer to town but on the same side of the road. She think that it has been demolished and the whole area is now under sugar cane. The Hummock was always described as "the only hill in Bundaberg." The view from there is really beautiful. She remembers when the Hummock was bought by an Estate Agent, a Mr. Heathwood and people thought that he was crazy when he suggested building homes on it. It is now one of the most popular sites in the area. Thank your Germaine

Greathead Road - Bundaberg, Queensland

I am so grateful to Mary who has sent me four fabulous pictures of Greathead Road in Bundaberg in Queensland. I have placed them on my website. I was very excited when her Email arrived. This Road was named after the Greathead family who lived on Penhillvale Farm. I am attempting to locate the actual site of the farm as Mary has offered to take photographs of what the farm looks like now. Anyone any ideas to help us please?

Dr Mary Corydon Mott née Greathead

I received an Email today from Vivien who informs me that she is the wife of Mary's ex husband's son Peter, and she clears up some errors on my website. I am indebted to her for putting me straight. Mary was married to Mark Dobell Mott not William as I believed. Mark' husband was Sir Basil Mott. The corrections will appear on the next update on 31 March. Thank you very much Vivien

George Richard Greathead

Bob contacted me about his family and gave me some wonderful stories about his Dad playing the banjo in the pub and Bob being given lots of crisps and lemonade. I have added the information together with all the data from the many copy certificates that he so kindly sent to me. He also found some funeral cards and pictures. All will be reveiled onthe next website update. Fantastic Bob, thanks and do stay in touch

She has also sent me more up to date details about this family. Thanks Linda
