Her memory was as sharp as ever up to the week before she died Apr 2015, just shy of her 100th. She recalled that she taught Garth to dance He was quite young at the time and shy. He never forgot that. Also gus davies was well known to the Jensens, mum said he was a wonderful cook and they often swapped recipies. As for the failure of post-World war 1...case studies, Dr Murray Johnson published quite a negative paper in The royal Historical Society of Queensland, Vol 20, No 9 February 2009 much was true, but there were more success stories than those he mentioned. I am pleased to say that my grandfather Charles Jensen did 'OK'. He was reared on the land at Attunga Springs, tamworth and having this vital knowledge would have been very helpful. After my grandmother died early in 1930 he continued farming and raising the children. My mum was his right hand woman, she loved the farm and admired both her father and brother. When he sold the Wyampa Road farm he bought a house in Attunga street Bald Hils from one, Mrs Lemon. He further built 2 or 3 houses and acquired a block of land that he left to my mother. So every child had a good start. His eldest son, Alan Jensen, became shire engineer of Mareeba NQ, the girls went on to marry and live long lives. My Aunt the last surviving child of Charles and Catherine is going to 'do a little' research in person soon i.e. she and her daughter are going to drive around to see if she can remember the block on which the farm stood. All of the aunts and uncle said many times, "...we walked the 1 and half miles to schooo and back...{or} we couldn't walk nearly 2 miles home from the dances unless there was a full moon.." cheerssonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13103540479730131789noreply@blogger.com
