A new group has been formed called Friends of Glenburn to
undertake activities in the Glenburn/Burbong precinct.
 For
those people not familiar with the area, it involves very early settlers (1831)
in the Queanbeyan area. It still contains relics of European settlement in the
area like the pise and slab huts of Glenburn Homestead and a small graveyard
that dates to 1837 where 5 members of the first settler family, Luke and Mary
Colverwell, are buried. For those interested in more detail, Colin McAlister has
done an excellent monograph on 12 historic sites in the Kowen area which is
available on the Nation Parks Association of the ACT website at
www.npaact.org.au/category.php?id=64.
