Karen Potter I remember him but didn't realise who he was.

Paul Agnes Smith 1st arrow for the scenic tour drive is on the south side of Revingtons......(or was...).

Les Lindbom The man with the dog is Ian ( think Wilson) who boarded with Fred & Sis.
Not Fred's father. Lived next door to them for many years in Cobden.

Doug Sail Les Lindbom pretty sure that you correct

Sandra Case so do i vern

Brian Beban The woman looks a lot like my Aunt Alice McGinley who lived in 45 Boundary St her whole life. The man on right looks a lot like Bill Connors who was the Manager of the Opera House owned by my grandfather, Artie Beban.

Bill Stephenson
You are right Barry. He was on the coal at Dobson mine until it closed. He was a good miner, really good to truck off. I remember him boarding at the shop.

That is not Freds father sorry. Please research your facts before posting. The bloke on the left of the image is Ian Wilson who boarded with the Holmes for many years.
