MARIE at Whroo

I am searching for information on my gggrandfather, a Frenchman, called Ludovic Eugene MARIE. He arrived in Victoria in 1853 and proceeded to the Wangara District. I believe he ended up building a hotel at Whroo, after failing to strike it rich. Has anyone heard of this man, or are there any reference books or publications of this area I can research.
I live in WA, so they need to be resources I can access from the Perth Library.
Many Thanks,
Chris Hearne

Hello, Christine...I am in close contact with the Whroo Historian...Nicola Thomson. Please contact me, and I'll give you her email. I won't put it in here, in case she gets spammed.
I'm sure she will be delighted to hear from you, because piecing together a ghost town's history needs all the contributions one can get.
Think there were about 6 hotels in its boom period.
