What caught my eye in particular in this newspaper clipping was its reference to the tale of Yarralumla's Blackfellow ghost and to a hidden diamond which culminate in a tale of buried treasure. The ghost is reported to have with him a diamond, that itself has a history, concealed beneath an old deodar tree on the grounds.
The clipping also has a nice short history of Yarralumla the residence today of Australia's Governor General but once the grand Yarralumla homestead of the extensive sheep property, Yarralumla.
