Acollection of unlikely characters is standing around a fire in the middle of the California desert.

Linda, I would love to see an article on this village where my grandparents lived in the 30’s. It is near Fitzroy Harbour. My grandfather Walter Bootland was a mine superintendent or supervisor for the mill there. He left there to work in the gold fields in Noranda but died of leukaemia shortly after, likely a result of lead exposure at Kingdon. I have some photos if interested.
Thank you! Regards Sharon
