Notes: Wilhelm Robert was an electrician by trade who worked at the Everleigh Railway Workshops in Sydney. The story goes that Harriet got sick of soot falling on her newly washed laundry, so the family moved back down the south coast to Tanja where Robert got the job of running the punt back and forth across the Bega River. I know that the punt at this time had cog-wheels as Billie's brother, nine year old Alan Thaler, got his thumb caught in it and cut off.
Robert Thaler got a contract to go to the Fijian capital Suva (which was known as Latooka?) and put on the electricity.
The Thaler family moved from Tanja to Candelo and took up residence in a little earthen-floored house papered with newspapers, next to Harriet's mother Eliza Leplaw's house.
My mother Billie recalled new recruitments for World War I marching through Candelo so they were there in 1914.
