 The new Mount Gambier Library has a fantastic local history collection (in the Les Hill Room) including full set of  Border Watch, loads of catalogued photographs and books. Very helpful staff. You can also view many Kennedy photographs online (I found a photo of Tom Kennedy, in  Year 7 at Mt Gambier High!) http://mtgambier.spydus.com/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/MSGTRN/OPAC/RESEARCH .
 
 In the Les Hill Room there are several copies of Second to None, a story of the rural pioneers of Mount Gambier,  by Pam and Brian O’Connor, published by the District Council of Mt Gambier in 1988. Interesting and detailed  chapters include: “Part IV, 33. The Kennedys of Peweena, Cadzow and Sunnybrae” and “Part III, 11. The Suttons of Dismal Swamp”.
