Hi Mel,
I would be interested in any information you have about Susan Hopgood, she was my father's Great Grandmother, Carrie was his Grandmother.

Hi Brian - my mother's grandmother was Susan Hopgood, whose first husband was Edward Hopgood, with whom she had five children - Carrie, May, Charlie, Bill (your grandfather?) and Harry. Susan ran the Railway Hotel in Colac Bay, as well as the local grocery store and post office. Let me know if you'd like any further information as I have some old records which might interest you.

Hi Brian, I have not been to Colac Bay but would like to at some time in future. Louisa Guise was my Great grandmother who came from this area. Heather Gibson

Just a contact as my father was born there, Fred Hopgood, in the early 1900s. His father was William Hopgood and married Louisa Guise from the region.
Did visit there in 2010 and found it to be a lovely place - would loved to have stayed longer there but time does not stop just for me.
