Abstract
This collection contains a significant number of letters and miscellaneous items relating to the Collins Family who took up the pastoral station of Mundoolun in 1847. The bulk of the letters are from Jane Collins (1841-1927) to her brothers John 'George', William and Robert 'Bob', in their absence from 'Mundoolun Station' necessitated by the scarcity of labour to work on the 'Waterton' (Taroom) and 'Westgrove' (Mt Hutton) Stations, acquired respectively in 1861 and 1863.
