Goolwa

Over the last week P6 students have been working on a topic called Goolwa.  Goolwa is a town in Australia and our primary school in Cockenzie has a connection with the town because of Captain Francis Cadell.   Captain  Cadell was born in Cockenzie House and travelled to Australia on a ship called ‘Minerva’ at the age of fourteen.  In  Australia he mapped and opened the Murray River for trade.
