The data contained within this Almanac has been collated from many scources, and although great care has been taken in recording and transcribing the information, Holsworthy Local History Centre can give no guarantee as to the accuracy of some items.
One of the main scources of information was the book 'Holsworthyh', written by the late Mr. W.I.Leeson-Day, a past resident and notary of Holsworthy, and tribute must be paid to his painstaking and comprehensive research.
Thanks are also expressed to the many past and present members of the community who have been so helpful in providing information, photographs and encouragement.
