Another Family Gathering was held at Shepparton November 2004
Our Last Family  Gathering was held in April 2000
All those relatives that turned up had a great time!
The sun was out and the picnic area at the Goulburn  Weir well set up for sun or rain with good BBQs. After lunch we went to see where Henry farmed. We entered from the Goulburn Valley Highway,  about 3 k North of  Nagambie, walked up the avenue of seven very old oak trees - see photos to find the cement foundations and a few red bricks that remained of Henry Furze's farm house "Burra Murra"  which overlooked the river - now a lake -see map.!
