Nora:

Born at Goornong (halfway between Bendigo and Rochester) and lived at Diggora which is situated west of Rochester.  Nora was named after her grandmother - Hanorah Boyle.

Ballie saw the old original house there but it is now gone.  There was a big family of them.  The family was highly respected.

In its 'hey day' Goornong had 2 Hotels, a Blacksmith shop and a Railway Station. It is located 27 kilometres from Bendigo.

Rochester has population of 3113 The Campaspe River known locally as Yalooka home of the Pinpandoor the local Aboriginal people of that area. The town was flooded in Jan 2011 with 9.17metres - 80% of the area was inundated. The town was gazetted in 1855 and is the birthplace of Sir Hubert Opperman (Oppy). At 90 years of age he donated his Malvern Star bicycle to the museum in Moore St. on which he won the 24 hour race in Paris in 1928

Ballie: "Now unfortunately, and I think this is always one of the tragedies of life.  Dad and Bub – they never married till, Mum would have been about 39 and Dad would have been 38.  So that limited them because when you do the arithmetic, well when your Dad and Jack celebrated their 21^st birthday, well Dad and Mum were 59 and 60 respectively.  So that in itself, I would say denied them of a lot of enjoyment of sharing their lives with us."

• Nora used to compare mum's skinny legs with Ballies chubby legs. (Aunty Sheila)

• Mum was extremely shy Nora used to say to Dad to dance with Verna - use to dance in McKenrys house in their large lounge room - a guy used to play the piano accordian' (Aunty Sheila) Henry McKenry worked as a shearer. Dolly and Grandma Kane were cooking. Dolly had an argument with Grandma Kane and was sacked – Ballie was pleased because he said his mum was ‘now in the ruck'.
• Paddy Moyles would tell lots of lies about himself but did not run others down. Grandma Kane would get tired of his lies and at the crucial time of a story she would say ‘ how are the chooks laying Paddy?

I have two strong memories or my Grandma Kane.  When I was about 8 years old, Ballie often took me out to hunt rabbits in his old Model T truck.  Rabbiting was quite a money spinner at that time not only for the meat but also for the skins which were pegged out using fencing wire to dry.  We used to get over a hundred a day using the ferrets and we'd take them down to a large building down near the Bowling Club in Coleraine.  I remember Grandma Kane coming out to fix canvas on the open window of the truck so I wouldn't get cold.

 

On another occasion, Ballie summoned me to help look for Grandma's glasses.   I sighed and blurted out .......... "not again,'' which prompted Uncle Jack to pull me aside and said.  ''Don't you ever say that again because one day you'll be looking for your glasses.''   Well ................. I never forgot that lesson and yes it's true.  That time has come when I find myself searching for my glasses .......... and other stuff.

Grandma Kane died in 1958 when I had turned 9.

Grandma - Nora Kane (nee O'Gorman)

Grandma Kane (Hanora known as Nora) Grandparents in Ireland were Timothy O'Gorman (farmer) and Hanora Boyle.

Grandma Kane's parents were Daniel O'Gorman (born 1850) from Co Claire Ireland and Bridget Griffen (born 1856) Co Cork. Daniel came to Australia aged 17 as a student (unassissted passage) in May 1866 in the ship 'Arabian' and were married on 6/2/1877 at Echuca when Daniel was age 27 and Bridget was aged 20.

St. Mary's Echuca built 1875

Daniel farmed at Diggora after being married where he had a dairy herd. Subsequently, he decided the weather was too hot in Diggora so he moved to Sale on the southern coast of Victoria but Jack (son of Daniel) said it was so cold the cows even hunched up. The property down there was not fenced and the cows had bells attached because they used to wander into the forest and had to be found at milking time. During that period in Sale Jack got a boxthorn in his left eye when he was getting through a hedge. The local doctor took out the thorn but nothing could be done to restore sight in the eye so he could only distinguish light from dark with that eye for the rest of his life. Later Daniel, Bridget and the family moved to 137 Fenwick St. Carlton at the turn of the century.

Marriage Certificate of Hannora Kane stated 37 Fenwick St. (mistake - should have been 137 Fenwick St. Hannora signed her name Nora Gorman) Daniel died 3/10/26 and Bridget died 29/6/31 at age 75. (Her WILL )

(DEATH CERTICATE OF DANIEL O'GORMAN)

(TRANSCRIBED DEATH CERTIFICATE OF DANIEL O'GORMAN)

Daniel O'Gorman came out to Australia in 1866 with 3 brothers who also lived at Diggora. Patrick known as Pat (7/1/1865 - 10/4/1936 arrived in Australia aged 23 May 1866 on the ship 'Glee Maiden') then later moved to the tiny town of Corop where he married Agnes Mulcair who came from that area. His other two brothers were Eugene and Tom (arrived in Australia in July 1868 aged 30 on the ship 'Tararua') who were bachelors and continued farming at Diggora. Pat's eldest son was Sir Eugene Gorman born (10/4/1891) at Goornong south of Rochester (Barrister 1891-1973 affectionately known as 'Pat') and his sisters were Mollie (1895-1950) and Kathleen (1892-1977).

"One uncle, Dan,(Daniel Gorman born 1850 married to Bridget Griffen) was slightly deaf. In search of a cure he submitted himself to a charlatan and as a result lost the remainder of his hearing. I can still see him of a summer's night, trying to extract music from a violin. He had no skill but playing the violin was his way of escape from the crude realities of a poor farm." (Source: Eugene Gorman)

The original village of Diggora was situated about 2 kilometres west of Warragamba Railway Station (opened 9/11/1915) later named Diggora West in 1971. Also, the original village of Diggora was moved because of the Railway Line situated to the West. The Railway line was Elmore - Cohuna.

RESEARCH ON THE SITE OF DIGGORA

The old Railway line crossing the road just near the plaque.

The old Railway Line to the Silos - opened 1915 and closed 1986.

Location of old Diggora

To find the original site of the Butter factory, go East along Dingee Rd. from the railway plaque about 1 kilometre and turn south down Lockington Rd. at the cross road. Go down about a kilometre over the first road and look to your right for the sight of the Butter factory and the domed Well. If you go a bit further you'll see the old School at Hunter now converted into a house. The Wesley brick Church (1873) is located a couple of kilometres way on Brick Church Road which runs North/South and crosses Dingee Rd.

One of the buildings which was moved from Warragamba (Diggora West) was the Blacksmith's shop.

Old abandoned house at Diggora West near the site of the Railway Station

Diggora which has ceased to exist as a village, was in north-central Victoria, 14 km north-west of Elmore and 35 km south-west of Echuca.

The area was part of the Burnewang pastoral run (1841) which was subdivided into east and west portions in 1864. Burnewang West was acquired by William Degraves in 1867. It is reputed that the Aboriginal rendering of ‘Degraves' was rendered as ‘Diggora' and the named was adopted.

Degraves was a Tasmanian who came to Melbourne in 1849 with funds presumably drawn from his father who had established the Cascade Brewery. Among several interests Degraves had a flour store (and possibly a short lived mill) in Flinders Street. It is thought that Degraves Street was named after him.

Free selectors came to the area at the time of Degraves' acquisition of Burnewang West. A church was opened on Brick Church Road by a Bible Christian congregation in 1873, and the building served as the local school during 1874-79. Brick Church Rd crosses over Dingee Rd which goes to Warragamaba Station). A hotel was opened in 1875. There was a large creamery built in the 1890s, but both it and the hotel closed around the end of the decade. The brick church outlasted them all, its Wesleyan services ending in 1967.

In 1915 a railway line was opened, running north from Elmore to Cohuna. Diggora West was established as the railway siding, with a grain bunker and silos later being built.

The last school in the Diggora district closed in 1963 and the post office closed in 1967. The railway line closed in 1981 (Diggora West to Cohuna) and 1986 (Elmore to Diggora West).

Diggora West is a pastoral and cereal growing district and the rich loamy soil is regarded as good for crops.

The census populations have been:

At the 2011 census dairy farming accounted for 14% of employment and other farming accounted for 29.9%.

Below: Eugune Gorman's story:

"When my father (Patrick) left the farm he went to a little township named Gourmont, some eighteen miles from Bendigo. At Goornong the country store was run by an uncle of my mother's, and there my father commenced as an assistant and subsequently rose to the height of managership. It was also at Goornong that my father met and married my mother, Mary Agnes Mulcair, who had emigrated from Ballylyn near Croagh in County Limerick, reaching Australia after one of those interminable voyages which were inevitable in her day. She was an attractive woman of great common sense, by which I do not mean harshness. A sheet anchor of the family, she knew no actual poverty but she very often needed an extra pound.

When I was born in Goornong, on 10 April 1891, the hamlet was not yet in decline. It had three hotels, a blacksmith's shop and a railway station; two of the hotels were speedily closed. My father managed the general store for Pat Hayes, who was quite a figure in Bendigo and at one time Mayor. We were very much the poor relations from whom considerable respect was required by the members of the Hayes family. It's strange how life alters things. The Hayes' competency dwindled away very quickly after the old man's death and fortune favoured my family moderately, so that eventually my father did acquire a competency. He was able to provide for the family comfortably and to take his place as a figure on the plains country between Bendigo and Echuca.

My father's weekly wage of £4 at Goornong did not permit any excessive living. I and my two younger sisters, Mary and Kathleen, were well fed and clothed but there was no spare cash. A few miles away, at Fosterville, shallow gold was discovered when I was very young; and by some means my father managed to obtain a few hundred shares in one of the mines. These shares rose to substantial prices, and for a week or so the family fortunes hovered at a height undreamed of. My father did not sell the shares. Later they fell to nothing, and I have always felt an intense sorrow for the hopes which rose so quickly and were so speedily dissipated. (Source: Eugene Gorman)

June Epstein wrote the story of the Gorman family in the book titles 'No music by request' published 1980. Eugene Gorman led an extrordinary life was hightly decorated for his participation in both World Wars and his outstanding work as a barrister considered the best at the time in Melbourne. ''He had the gift of oratory and was one of the most dynamic and versatile characters on the Australian scene. People flocked to court to listen to him. He smoked a cigar and wrote 2 books on the famous 22nd Battalion who fought in France during World War 11. His wife was French and his son although deaf, learnt to lip read and be able to speak very well. He was the first profoundly deaf student to be be admitted to Melbourne University and he became highly educated making major contributions by studying at Cambridge in England. Eugene Gorman was an extremely generous man helping those who asked him for money. He ''played cards for high stakes'', loved betting on horses and in fact owned a couple of race horses. He loved practical jokes which became legendary.
