AUSTRALIA HISTORY
Milton Ulladulla
Local and Family History Site
The Milton Ulladulla district is on the
NSW South Coast, being part of the city of Shoalhaven. Captain Cook first
saw Aboriginals on our beaches in 1770. The first white Settler was Rev
Thomas Kendall in 1828 who started cedar cutting at Narrawallee Creek near
Milton. Ulladulla was known as Nulladulla - meaning safe harbour.

Milton War Memorial - WWI
The Milton Ulladulla
District’s War memorial is found at Milton Memorial Park, on the corner of
Princes Highway and Thomas Street Milton, opposite Milton Primary School.
Transcription by Cathy Dunn, one distinguishing feature on the memorial is
that the names of the servicemen and women included their rank and are so
listed, with KIA over-ranking them all. PVT. is used to abbreviate Private
in WW1, whilst the correct abbreviation PTE is used for the WW2 servicemen.

I am having quite a bit of
luck with my ancestors in Australia because Victoria is so small. I have found a
wonderful book. It is called People and Places, Western Victoria 1854-1865, from
the diary of Augustus Bostock.
William Latta, c 1818, Donegal. (The man
who suicided in 1876 at Grassmere near Warrnambool) was Augustus Bostock
neighbor and had land next door. Augustus's diary has multiple references to our
ancestor, William Latta and strangely enough the family that his son, John
married into after his father died. John Latta married my Great Grandmother,
Grace. Her family was Parker and her mother's family were Lindsays. They are all
referred to quite frequently in the book.
The Diary eg
15/12/1854
Went to see Latta and Doy about building the bridge. (The bridge was required
for them all to access parts of the road to Warrnambool)
17/3/1855
Thrashing machine came to Lattas. (It seems Latta grew wheat and raised beef etc
and sent some of the food to the miners at the Goldfields. This was a very
significant period of gold mining in Australia.)
