Police Station at Wambo - Result Notice 8 May 54/4622
Note PR - This is where I believe that 54/4622 should have been replaced with 54/6204
which would lead it back in progression with the Wombo letters. However it still does not
give any clue as to the location of the first mentioned letters on Wombo, Lower
Condamine or where the latter letters on Dalby may be located. I am particulary
interested in finding the original petitions sent in by Matthew Goggs and Jno. Ferrett
53/10040 and 52/511 respectively.
