“Elizabeth Ann Pope (Aunty Carra) was born in Hobartown 1844 to bonded Cornish Immigrants and married a Greek fortune seeker Demetrious raising 15 children on various Victorian Goldfields before establishing an orchard at Armstrongs and selling produce at Stawell and Arrarat. Ann Hannah Vaux was a Midwife and dairy farmer at Yarragon where the Popes also farmed. She married Elizabeth's brother Thomas who became a shoemaker. Agnes McAllister nee McDougall (Grandma Sandy) was born on Crooks Station in 1856 where her father John McAllister managed stock at 100 pounds per annum before selecting at Tambo Crossing and eventually establishing a Dairy at Bruthen in Gippsland. William and Bertha went on to have 6 children and managed a number of bakeries in New South Wales. A reunion held at Great Western in 2004 for the decendants of Demetrious Carra a Dutch East Indies trader and decendant of “The feared Hydran Karass of the Agean” who figured prominantly in the liberation of Greece and are still important shipping and wine producers today. Related families still farming today including Snell, Schnieder, Painter and Colin Carra in the west.
