From this I would say the correct spelling would be Beachmere,
and, situated between seven and eght miles from the township of
Caboolture, at the mouth of the Caboolture River, was the homestead

The above letter was forwarded to me as a reply to a letter
of inquiry addressed by me to Mr W. Smith of Caboolture.

Mr. Smith handed my letter to Mrs. Smith for reply evidently
for the reason of her life-long acquaintance of the locality in
question.

Yours faithfully,
