Walden Now

This photo shows the Walden family home in March 2017. In the photo are:

  • Alys Sturrock (nee Bunge – oldest child of Hermann and Ruby Bunge)
  • Rex Bunge (son of Hermann and Ruby Bunge)
  • Ruth Shaw (nee Schultz – Ruth’s mother was Clara, oldest child of Johannes and Anna Bunge)
  • John Bunge (son of Hermann and Ruby Bunge)

A close-up of the group this time.

John has lived at Walden, and worked the farm, from 1953 until just recently. He has now retired to live in Warracknabeal, and the farm has been sold.

One more group photo. This time it is Janet Robins, nee Sturrock (daughter of Alys), Alys, Rex and John.

 

The next photo shows the sign which marks where the private school once existed at Walden, just west of the family home – which you can see in the background. (More about this in ‘Photos of Walden’).

 

I am very grateful for the considerable help provided by Alys and Ruth in identifying many of the individuals/locations/occasions in the photos, as well as relating to me quite a bit of the Bunge family history.
