Dear Perry Middlesmiss, I have just discovered I am a descendant to Emily and Robert BULCOCK (by marriage of a cousin). There are several copies of her published poetry books in the State Library of Queensland (John Oxley collection), which read so beautifully. Being a poet myself I was so excited to find this (vague) link. I am also a current lifesaver on Bulcock Beach, Caloundra, which was donated to the public by this couple. Paul Seto.
