Could any of the members tell me if any Burnett ships went around the Aussie coast, mid to late 60's. I would be very grateful for any information.

[Bruce Thompson]

Asked around Newcastle info received it could have been Holmside.

Thanks for the info Bruce. Think i'll get in touch with Kew Gardens. Maybe they could give me a full list of my ships. I'll be in touch soon. Thanks again.
