Lorne Victoria Australia
Edward, was born in Port Fairy in 1863. He left school at the age of 14 and joined the bank in Port Fairy, thence to Winchelsea, as an auditor and manager, Kilmore and finally Euroa. Edward left the bank and started the family businesses, including Drysdale Sheep Station.
Edward Stribling had long established an interest in Lorne through his position as manager of the Winchelsea Branch of the Colonial Bank of Australia (now NAB). The bank had an agency in Lorne so Edward used to ride a horse to Lorne once a fortnight to pay the forestry workers and the workers on the pier, which was being built at the time.
