あらすじ・解説
Pearl Biggs (Nee: Pheeney) was born in 1944 to parents Rita & Eric Pheeney. The Pheeney's are related to the Devitts by marriage and the Vaughan's. Her mother was a Rutledge. William Vaughan travelled up from Bega to secure land when released from the Berry Estate. he farmed at Bolong til death in 1932 and was Pearls Great Grandfather. Her grandparents Evelyn Vaughan and Fredrick Pheeney came up from Bega later and secured some land near Fletchers lane then bought Maylands, Meroo Rd in early 20th century. Evelyn by horse and sulky, pregnant with Pearl's father Eric. Fred drove cattle up on horesback.
Pearl covers alot of social and agricultural history in this episode and makes an invaluable contribution to Meroo villages podcast Season 1. I love the Travelling Circus coined by the locals as they all travelled up the highway on their 7 tractors to bale on farms in the district.
