G'day List,

While there is no 'Whitestone' there is a 'Mount Whitestone' in Queensland.
(Near Brisbane). It is not however near Tenham. But I should point out that
I have not been able to find Tenham itself in our postcode directory. So it
could be possible that there is a small town or outback station somewhere
called Whitestone. (Maybe!)

Happy Town Hunting,
