Striking account of three missing Harrow children found
A Melbourne library copy of the Hamilton Spectator dated 24 August 1864 reports the long search for four to nine year old children missing near Spring Hill Station between Harrow and Hamilton. Trackers followed sandal prints through heath and sand for miles, locating a sheltered sleep spot and finally the children alive late Friday night. The find triggered celebrations among white and black trackers and prompted fundraising appeals for Mrs Turnbull and a monument.
