    Hi,
    I am a teacher in wagga wagga. I was wondering if there were members of the historical society who would be interested in speaking to students about the history of wagga wagga?

    Related to the John Fitzmaurice (of “Fitzmaurice Street).

    Interested to know the Irish – Australia connection behind the naming of the street.

    John Fitzmaurice was a Major General in the 95th rifles and fought in Wellingtons campaign including the Battle of Waterloo.

    Anyone with any info get in touch:davidfitzmaurice@yahoo.com

My Great Great grandfather was John Keane who came to Australia with his wife and daughter in 1836 he owned a station with John price at Cookardinia for ten years then went in partnership with John Cox and owned Pullitop t station wagga wagga then divided the property he took Clifton They had a 10 children I know very little about his life in Cookardinia they were the first settlers there I think
