A Tramp to the Blackalls

Ruth and Dorothea were always very close as sisters. In ca. 1910-1911, Ruth wrote a 14pp description of a walk they took from Caboolture Railway Station to [checvk]Palmwoods, staying with their stepbrother Egerton and his wife Gracie at their farm at Nambour overnight along the way. The first day they walked 18 miles along a disused road (leading to Gympie and once used by horse-drawn coaches), then caught the train to Landsborough where they stayed overnight. They then walked through beautiful country to reach Egerton and Gracie's farm at Nambour.
