Hello
My father William Austin Edwards (6.10.1927) spent about a year with the Fish family in Yoongarillup. His mother, my grandmother Nellie Edwards was a bush cook for woodcutters and travelled around with them. He attended the local school with the two Fish brothers (sons of William Fish) and they used to walk to the school together. I think one of them was also called William but I could be wrong.
I am unable to find any school photos of the Fish boys and my Dad and hoping that there may be some clue with you. Also no photograph of the school.
Thank you for trying to help me. I now live in Busselton near Yoongarillup.
yours sincerely
