Also Katherine Gorge ... and probably a few others. A date may help ... months ... the amount of water would mean it is not the wet.

I don't think it's Katherine Gorge.

But it's been a while since I was last there.

There is a walk from Katherine Gorge to Edith Falls... There is lots of it.

Carnarvon Gorge ... don't recall anything like that. Nor Kings Canyon.

Blocks
Blocks were very large back in the 'old' days ..
My grandfathers' block is now 3 blocks... in fact it was built before most of the local roads .. and  when one such road was put in it had to do a dog leg around my grandfathers' block. Usually the householders grew fruit and vegetables, and had chickens. They usually had horses for transport too.

Names vs Numbers
Most old properties had names and they were in use before numbers became available. The local council may have a record relating names to numbers. It may also be a state government document too - lot numbers are used to identify land and there is a relationship form those to possibly names and numbers.
Names are still in use by large rural agricultural properties, thought  the mail tends to run on numbers, the locals will use the name.

Also as per earlier suggestion, instead of enquiring as to ''Historic'' plates, what term should I use please? Leanne

"I am looking for the history of my family (or?) member Mr John Doe regarding their use of a vehicle make xxx model yyyy between 1905 and 1930, the registration plate might be ERR 98. Would there be a record of this? If so could I obtain a copy of it?
My name is Mr Joe Doe NSW licence number 98787543, the above person is my GG uncle."

The plate would not have been regarded as "historic" at the time.

Thank you Merlin 

Condo I was trying to get more info from the OP, Merlins' link to the earlier posting has somewhat done that.

Kaysands ... Have you searched for Annes' death ? Not found in Tas, Vic, NSW etc? Trove?
It would be nice if you want to ask again to format the information you have so we don't redo it...

Ann WILSON
birth ~ 1832 ?England
transported ex Sir Robert Seppings ~?
marriage 1854 - housemaid spinster to William SANDS 30, Coachman, Widower. Oatlands Tas.
 
1855 separated? Or died? OR ? William takes up with another woman? And/or did she run off with someone else?

Looks like Ann was illiterate so the spelling may change from time to time. Thus Anne or Ann, Sands or Sanders are all possible.

===================
A search
http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/result?q&exactPhrase=Anne+Sanders&anyWords&notWords&requestHandler&dateFrom=1855-01-01&dateTo=1900-12-31&sortby&l-state=Tasmania


gets as one result from a few
http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/72197026


Which is the 1863 report above.

------------------
So looking for her 1855 onwards .. death would help ... did she go back to Wilson? The death date would limit the search date for information. It would also give a hint of the places to search. SO I'd think finding her death would be most usefull at this time?
