James Albert Gegg at one time stood for election as an independent candidate for the New South Wales Parliament. He was unsuccesssful in this endeavour but above is a copy of the promotional Post Card he used as part of his campaign. The picture of him used in these pages came from the front of this post card.  The notation on the card about Grandfather Gegg, etc was written by Gladys Elizabeth Owen/King (nee Collins) among whose possessions the card was found.

The stumps in this photo are all that remain of the general store and wineshop operated by J A Gegg at Windellama (Photo 1993)

James' Aneroid Barometer used to measure atmospheric pressure and thus, indirectly, altitude.
It's believed he used this in association with his mining activities
