A beautiful lady! And the name Vandepeer is actually Dutch or Flemish, so your ancestors were a footlose lot, moving first to France, on to England and then to Australia. And I guess you inherited that wanderlust...

Don't you look something like your great grand mother? Ancestry search is such a exciting and elevating pastime.

Great photo - you can actually see where the whalebone corset
