Letters from Mary Rineke nee Doyle to her daughter Carrie in Trunkey.
Rockley Jan 10th 1888
My Dear Carrie
Am just writing a few lines to you as I promised. Mrs Archer is better than she was but wants me to stay as long as possible. You can write and let me know how you all are and if your Father was home on Saturday or not. There was no school here today as the new teacher did not come. Jobson has got shifted at last and gone down Paramatta way; the one that was at Burraga is to come here. Lawson is butchering and got a great fruit shop, everything else is the same old style here. Remember me to Mrs Blane and family; there is nothing else I can write this time. Look after Mabel well it is very hot and dry this two days here. No more at present.
From your affectionate Mother
Mrs Rineke.

My Dear Carrie
I received your letter this morning. I was glad to hear you were all well and that you made a pie to please your father so well. But he can't mean what he says when he said he could not stop in the house without me, he does not forget to make it very uncomfortable for me when I am in it.
Mrs Archer is getting a little stronger by degrees.
I am sorry to disappoint you in my coming home on Thursday. I am going to help make some things for the children.
I am writing to your father today. I would have wrote sooner only I thought he may not get to the office before Thursday or Saturday.
Claude McLean has been very ill Jessie, lizie, lena and Kate. Mrs Mc just got better when the others are all down together. W hockey is very ill as well.
Mrs Turnbull's John their daughter is very bad as well. Look well after the children don't let them get too many cherries or fruit at once lock it up in the trunk. I have no more to say this time to conclude remain your
Loving Mother
Mrs Rineke
Remember me to Mrs Blane tell her it is no use fidgeting.

KERRY'S NOTES: Trunkey Creek - It is interesting to note that a major gold strike in 1868 by Jo Arthur on the hill opposite the existing village, resulted in the town moving from 4km's south to its present location. The Town was then known as 'Arthur Town' and was surveyed in 1869. In around 1816 the Trunkey area was known as is 'Mulgunnia'. Rumour has it that the name 'Trunkey' evolved from the nickname of a prospector who worked in the area adjacent to the creek, he was blessed with a rather large nose. The creek became known as 'Trunkey's Creek' and at some time later became known as 'Trunkey Creek'.
