Date Created8th November 2019CommentsNoelene Longley Wow. Just look at what we missed out on

Brian Longley I always thought it was called Darkies Terrace.

Glenn Johnston That was a bit further north again from Cobden & Flagstaff.

Garry Dunn And 11 of 14 businesses doing 'considerably' are hotels!

Heather Newby ha ha.. funny that!! Must have been thirsty work.

Trish Briggs Cushla Ellis Linda Griffin Cindy Briggs Who knew!!

Eric Martini Graham, no maps showing the settlement, but the 1875 map shows Flagstaff point on the left, so one can assume it was around Nelson Quay possibly Peel St area. The description above was written in 1866 Steven's & Bartholomew's NZ Directory.

Noeline McCaughan Eleven pubs and three stores, wow, how did they survive?

Anne Honey Joliffe publican any relation to the Blackball Joliffe. Does it talk about families at the diggings or was it just men and boys. 2 grocers not an easy life.

Used to be a big chicken farm on the sea side of the road across from where the lake is ,Graham Rae used to park alt of his stuff there ,was also an old man lived there that always said that as a kid he was on the titanic.

Our house at 89 Fox Street was on Flagstaff Hill, it was actually on the title. Unfortunately I think it is wrecked now because of the tornado earlier in the year.
