Heather
Sjoberg is making her debut as a writer with a book about her family – James
Neilson and Isabella Gibson: Gippsland Pioneers. The family's heritage listed
home in Gippsland was the subject of an episode of the ABC production
Restoration Australia in September 2015. The Neilson family came from Scotland to
Gippsland in 1841 and were one of the first white families to settle there. The
tale is one of optimism, tenacity, courage, and, at times, horror.
The Yarram & District Historical Society is hosting the launch of Heather's book in Gippsland. Monday 14th December at 2.00pm. The Society is situated in the old South Gippsland Creamery lab, Carpenter Street, Yarram.
