Janet
Dobson Diary (1902-1923)
Janet Dobson, nee Wicks (1871 –
1946), was the author of hand-written journals from which the
diary has been transcribed.
She was married to Robert
Lum Dobson, elder son of David and Mary Dobson, one of the first
settlers in The Basin.
I have permission from Peter Dobson,
a descendant of David Dobson to make the diary public. If you use
any information
in the diary, please
provide acknowledgement.
The following sections are missing
from the diary. Mid 1910-1915, 1916-1919 and 1922. It is unknown
if they are missing or the diary was not used in those periods.
