Relations?
There are not many Bloink's around, so most of them in Australia are related. Do you know how these fit into the tree?
- At Creswick cemetery, there is Franziska Margareta BLOINK buried with John Ferdinand BLOINK. Who is Franziska Margareta? John is Richard's brother, and she is not John's husnad as he only survived one year. Also in this cemetery is BLOINK John J, Ruby M. Is that John Joseph, Richard's brother?

- Des Bloink,
architect in the Public Works Department
- "Work on the multi-purpose hall seemed likely to be delayed due to the lack of funds. Des Bloink, the project architect, early one morning whilst travelling in the Western District came across Henry Bolte whose car had broken down on the Princes Highway. Bloink offered the Premier a lift, and whilst driving to Cobden, told him of the funding problem at Glenormiston. Sir Henry said 'leave it with me' and a few days later the necessary funds were provided."

- also from here: "On the motorcycles, there was a little girl going by the name of Kirrily Bloink who made a lasting impression on the crowd. The little devil is only nine years old and she was doing a burnout like an old salted pro. And fuuuck, she started to ride only two weeks before the show was on! What a talent. I can see that daddy is going to lose his Harley very soon. Good on you girl!"
