— Traces

Uncover Australia’s past in the latest edition of Traces. In this edition, we recapture Port Arthur and dive into this historical site, learning of the history of convict labour on the Tasman Peninsula; we discover the chilling violent times of colonial Yass and the murders that shook the small country town; renowned author Hazel Edwards shares how to write a non-boring family history; Janeen O’Connell shares her family secrets crawling from the silence, and tells the tale of her ancestor William McBeath; and Karen Mather tells us of the comings and goings in her goldfields house.

These stories just touch the surface of what is included in this edition, as we bring you more on genealogy, wartime ancestors, vintage vernacular, and arts and culture, just to name a few topics.
