In reply to Peter Hoare, Metro Farm management 1960-61.

Peter Hoare, I noticed your name in a book about Bill Parer. Do you or did you live at the You Yangs? I remember visiting in 1964 when I was a seminarian at Werribee Mansion. My grandmother said that we were somehow related. I’m from Tasmania and I’m a good friend of MICHAEL Parer, Bill Parer’s brother.
Regards
John Shaw

I was a student at Murtcaim PS [No 4575] from 1957 to 1962. Other local families were Gillets, Holders, McDonalds, Beards, Breguets? My father Reg was a stockman. The school building was a converted hall. .. no septic tank! Four miles to the nearest shop at Little River. Nearest telephone was at the BP service station at the intersection of Paradise Road and the Princes Highway.
