    Living at Howick east of Esperance from mid 60's til mid 90s when developing then farming we made camping trips seeing several of the historical homesteads. The region is the richer for Roger Robinson's dedicated restorations and now Karli Florrison & her colleagues for their wonderful research and productions. Ferdinand von Mueller is one of our families forbears. Uncle to my Grandad, he was renown for his work identifying so much of Australia's flora receiving numerous international honors. Formally trained in Germany before migrating with two sisters, as government botanist he established the Melbourne Herbarium and did original layout of Melbourne's Botanic Gardens.

    What an amazing story, I loved it! Thoroughly well researched and brought everything to life. I grew up on farm in WA and now live in Qld, so much admiration for the character and hard work of these early pioneers. Jennene and Karli, I am very impressed with how sensitively you explain the relationships between white Europeans and aboriginals in the area. They relied on each other and both benefited from those relationships, socially, financially, and culturally. Well done and very inspiring to see someone put so much passion and dedication into such a project.

    I'm a descendant of Henry Dimer, Catherine Taylor nee Dimer is my 2x great grand mother, I have shared this with the family and they love it. Catherine was sent to New Norcia mission as a child where she was educated and worked on surrounding farms, she married Thomas Taylor and had a family of 13. Unfortunately Catherine never returned home to her family, instead became well known in the New Norcia area, Catherine has a block at Yarrawindah, along the great Northern highway with a sign Granny Taylors Block.

    I'm the great-great-great grandson of heinrich dimer and a descendant of jacob dimer, my great grandmother edna was 1 of 3 daughters of jacob dimer and elizabeth lynch born on april 4th, 1929, elizabeth lynch soon remarried after the loss of jacob and later had children to william "billy" trott, my great grandmother would often tell me stories about her life growing up as a young girl and the struggle of living life as an aboriginal, she used to always tell me about the the origin of our family and tell me that her grandfather originated from Germany but it's honestly just great to see that it's all been documented and to know that the bloodline of our family is still going strong
