[Gjest Mike Wilson]

Oddbjørn, tusen takk, but you are right it was not exactly on the topic of Langlo, but it was in regards to famous Australian Norwegians.Kari, I have written to Langlo Vale Station, its off the beaten track in FNQ, expect my letter to take 3 days at best to get there. Hopefully some one in the district will know the origins of the LangLo name. As for the missing L I had only 4-5 hours sleep before carrying on with the research for it was a hot night, not good for restfull sleeping after much xmas partying.mvh Mike

I just got a mail from Arne Hagen, who's grandfather is Jens Bastian Langlo, the gold digger who went home from Alaska. Arne has been listening to Jens Bastian, who built a house in Alaska called 'Jack Londons pension', because Jack London lived there for a period. And Jack London also went to Australia. So that might be is one connection ..

KariThere appears to be no direct reference of O/S travel (other than he went to sea once to Japan) to Australia in this:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Londonon the American writer John Griffith Chaney (nic named London).mvhMikePS: Have a happy New Year

From this page he seems to have been in Sydney from nov. 1908: LenkeHe wrote some articles for the Australian Newspaper Star, but I really don't know how long he stayed. Maybe this is not important at all, since he just seems to have stayed in Sidney.

Her: Lenke finnes info om at Frederick Langloh giftet seg med Susan Casbeard i London i 1803. Han dro senere til Tasmania, Australia (1820). Kan det tenkes at han opprinnelig kom fra Norge?
