Hi My Great Grandfather George Jimmieson who was a farmer at Sherwood ( Sherwood was named after his farm) built or had a floating sugar mill on the Brisbane river. I n the 1893 floods he lost the sugar mill. The loss resulted in him having a breakdown and admission into the Goodna mental Hospital. My Grandmother was a nurse at Goodna my Grandfather was a attendent after the 1ww and in later years my father was a male nurse at goodna. I have researched the Jimmiesons for some seven years and created a cd with some 400 plus pages on it . Regards Anthony (Tony) Jimmieson
