G'day List, While there is no 'Whitestone' there is a 'Mount Whitestone' in Queensland. (Near Brisbane). It is not however near Tenham. But I should point out that I have not been able to find Tenham itself in our postcode directory. So it could be possible that there is a small town or outback station somewhere called Whitestone. (Maybe!)
