Investigating the Past
From time to time, Blayney Shire Local & Family History Group carries out in depth research either due to a request, or to further understand the stories that make up the Blayney Shire's collective history.
The group has contributed to studies organised by the Orange Regional Museum, notably on the Wiradjuri aboriginal history of Blayney shire and also the stories if Chinese immigration into Blayney and surrounding villages. It also has other projects of its own instigation. current projects feature on the following pages. A study of the Blayney lime kilns was completed after a request from the Blayney Tourist Information centre. more recently an invitation to speak to Blayney Garden Club revealed the history of Blayney's Carrington Park.
All contributions are appreciated to add personal perspectives to the group's endeavours.
