This site is dedicated to Melissa Louise Steele nee Allery and Isla Rose Steele, the only child and grandchild of Stevin John & Linda  Ann Allery (nee Forbes), first generation Australians. 

It is also in memory of my  great grandma Rose Towler (nee Sharp) who would hold me spell bound with her broad  Lancashire accent doing what she had always known weaving and spinning, putting  together the family tales, singing the old songs or reminding us of the old sayings.   Unfortunately many of the stories were told when I was too young to know there  importance and I watch as my mother's grandchildren listen intently to her story  and realise the stories need to be told so as not to be forgotten with time.  - Linda Allery
