Hello ODK history lovers
The Harrigan Family have an important historical connection
to the Illawara area of New South Wales.

It’s worthwhile visiting that online archive [link below].
Have a squiz at these great images but pay particular attention
to ‘Early motor mower’ and ‘Home of Mr and Mrs H.E. Harrigan’.
There’s a story to tell there.

This may be a side-note to history, but E.H.’s son, H.E.,
did make an early electric side-wheel power mower.
