Transcript
She just made it on form; Good on you Evonne. Remember when you just made it on another form back in '66...the Census form! We counted you in because you had the privilege of having some white blood in you. This year we were very generous...we counted your full-blooded relatives as legal inhabitants of Australia for the very first time. You're lucky Evonne. You're a world class tennis player. So we guess you're good enough to be one of us - our stock of good tennis players is getting low. But don't go bringing any of your black cobbers into the neighbourhood just because fame and fortune's come your way. Leave them where they belong... in their shanty towns and old tin huts. Good on you Evonne. We're proud you're Australian.

We put to Sea on the 5th of February, with a fine breeze, which in a short time brought us in sight of Portsmouth, where a sudden shift of wind blowing violently, obliged us, after struggling against it for three days to bear away for Plymouth; at this time the Captn had his Family on board, whose sickness and fear added to the noise of the unhappy wretches below, who naturally supposed from the confusion on deck, that every moment was their last, presented an awful scene; The ship was ill prepared for so sudden an attack of weather and I am certain had it not been for the great exertions of the few Sailors we had on board, who through ne-cessity were obliged to remain upon deck, both day and night, she must have been dismasted; happily however we reached -

Our stay here was but short; weighing again at day light, we stood down Channel with the Ocean, and soon came in sight of Scilly, from which place we took our final departure, with little hopes of seeing it again in less than two years:- if the keen affliction of leaving friends, brought tears in the eyes of the oldest seaman, what must have been the feelings of the unhappy Convicts, banished for ever from their homes, and many from relations most sincerely attached to them, who from pure affection, remained on board the Ship, to take their last farewell; until out of harbour. -

Man naturally is free Absolutely so, and is endowed by nature with strong innate perceptions of good and evil, but not according to the Code of the so called, British Laws, Nature never ordained nor does true civil liberty require, either the game laws, or than a Human life should be sacrificed for a piece of the Flesh of a Sheep, Yet at Launceston under the Judgeship of One Wylde, Two men were actually put to death by Hanging for one Shoulder of Mutton, supposed to have been the property of Thomas Archer, Such Laws we mutually pledge ourself to prevent in this our infant settlement
The Natural liberty of Man consists, in each individual acting as to him may seem just and conductive to his interest, Comfort or Whim, This natural liberty as also freewill was the Gift of God to man at the Creation. But Man being by nature both cowardly and sociable, consequently longs to associate with his species for mutual comfort and support, This was the origin of Society, not for the Sole benefit of Princes & Rulers / But man in order to enjoy the benefits of this state is compelled to concede a portion of his natural liberty in order to cement the bonds of Fellowship, I will give one Instance, each man in a state of Free natural liberty has a right to make a fire for his use & convenience where he likes, But in society it would be of infinite injury if any man could light his fire at his neighbours hay or Corn Stack or field, this is the Kind of Concession which each man is called upon to make, to enjoy the benefits of mutual cooperation and support, and when he is not called upon for more than this, he enjoys the real and true blessings of Civil liberty, when laws are made at variance with this one principle they are unjust or Tyrannical and are made for the benefit of the few & not for the real good of Society

\\ A replica of the 7 kilogram 'Pride of Australia' gold nugget
\\ The ‘Pride of Australia', unearthed in Wedderburn in 1981, is one nugget that will probably never be seen again. Weighing eight kilograms, it was bought by the State Bank of Victoria and donated to the state for Victoria's 150th anniversary. Held at the Melbourne Museum, it was stolen in a smash and grab raid in 1991. The thieves were never caught and the $250,000 nugget was probably melted down and sold.

This image shows a miner in long, over-the-knee, Blucher boots stirring up the muddy washdirt with a spade to encourage the heavy particles of gold to sink to the bottom of the puddler. Following this process, the majority of the washdirt can be discarded, leaving the gold-bearing mix to be carefully panned to reveal the small nuggets and gold dust.

\\ Cradles, similar in design to a baby's cradle, rely on gravity to separate and trap the heavier gold particles from the lighter washdirt. Cradling was more efficient than panning with a tin dish, and allowed miners to process greater quantities of gold-bearing dirt in a shorter period of time.
\\ Where water was plentiful, sluice mining or a ‘long tom’ (a stretched version of the cradle) could be used. Set over a few metres, a channel was made in the earth with a gentle slope using wood with riffles nailed to it. As long as there was a convenient water supply, two men could wash ten times as much dirt as miners using the puddling and rocker method.

My dear Grandmamma,
\
Since I last wrote we have performed a journey of one hundred miles a full account of which is in the journal that accompany's this. I like the diggings very well I have washed myself about a pennyweight of gold besides a match box full of specimens The other day I went with Mamma and Papa over to the quarry reef. There we saw a gentleman of the name of B Farrell he has one of the richest claims in the reef He has made thousands of pounds While we were talking he said if we would go down to his tent he would give us some specimens little items of what he had He gave Mamma some beauties and me three two of which I send home one to you and the other for dear Aunt Eliza. They are the nicest I have ever had You will laugh when I tell you what I have been doing today, making a kennel for a puppy I have not yet got it is a very nice one made of latice. Mr Sundy is going to give me the puppy this week We began school today. We were delighted to hear that Aunt Mary has a little boy We did not forget little Anna Maria's birthday Haree is delighted with her doll it amuses her for many an hour Good bye with dear love to and from all I remain your very affectionate granddaughter

The numerous mine shafts on the diggings posed a dangerous hazard not only to children, but also to adults - particularly those walking at night. Injuries and deaths from falling down a hole were common. Today, bushwalkers need to exercise caution in this terrain for the same reason.

\\ The children on the goldfields has plenty of time to pick amongst the gold tailings, or pan for gold themselves. Others earnt pocket money by retrieving lost horses and guarding tents. George Rowe, an artist and store owner in Bendigo, remarked in letters home:
\\ Children in England think themselves rich with a penny to spend. Here, a child, however young, brings never less than sixpence, and often a shilling. Little fellows of 10 years sport their half-crowns [5 shillings- 60p], [older children] will have their little leather bag as a purse with gold and silver coins and spend liberally on anything that suits their fancy. It is extraordinary to see how money is spent here.

Newspapers record that corroborees were performed on the goldfields in exchange for money and goods. Many ceremonial dances are sacred and people from outside a community are not not permitted to watch. It is thought that the Indigenous dancers invented much of these performances to protect their genuine cultural practice from Europeans.

\
\
To the Chinese Storekeepers, miners and residents of Bendigo.
\
\
I beg most heartily to thank you all for your most flattering address and also for the handsome testimonial that accompanies it.
\
\
I am rejoiced to learn that my official administration has met with the approval of the Chinese residents on this Gold Field. I gladly avail myself of this opportunity to compilment them on the manner in which they have conducted themselves since their arrival here, readily and willingly subscribing to the laws and customs they found in force, and in every way endeavouring to carry out directions and instructions given to them from time to time by the constituted authorities.
\
\
I need hardly say that such conduct reflects most creditably not only on themselves but on the nations to which they belong. I beg you will receive the assurance of the gratification I feel at this unexpected demonstration of your good feeling towards me. Accept my parting prayer for your prosperity and success and be assured of the friendship of your obedient servant,
\

The diary of Jong Ah Siug leaves us with a unique, and puzzling account of life on the goldfields from the perspective of a Chinese miner. The barriers to communication and acceptance made things very difficult for him. He did the only thing he could in trying to learn as much English as he could as he documented his life in Australia.

Translation
\
"That hatchet was my hatchet. It was an old blunt hatchet. I bought the hatchet about 5 months earlier. I bought it on the day in January 1867 when the Chinamen went away and sold it to me. That was the time I went to their tent and left, and went to Cochrane's township and Mr Sharp's shop. I bought it. That night when I smoked opium I took the hatchet and sharpened it a little.
\
\
That knife was my knife, an old knife with a shart point and a sharp edge which I had bought 3 years earlier. I went to Mount Misery in June 1864 and bought that knife to set up a store and butcher's shop. I went to Ballarat to buy stock. I found the money to buy from the store-master one 10 pound box of opium. Very dear. I and the master had an argument over the money. I did not buy the stock, or set up a store or butcher's shop. At Mount Misery I and my mate used that knife to cut bread. I went to live at Symott's diggings and then went to Anderson's Hill diggings. I used the knife sometimes to cut meat and too often to cut tin.
\
\
See the dam on the map; it is about a quarter mile from the Chinamen's tents. It is a quarter of a mile to the log over the river which was used as a bridge. The ground at the edge of the dam is where the 5 men from the tents came up and stabbed me with a knife. My route when I was going to Cochrane's came by the dam and I was hurt and fainted there. The stump by the dam is a dry stump about 3 or 4 perches from the dam. I threw a bag containing 10 ounces of gold on the ground near the stump."

\ La Trobe was first appointed as Superintendent of the Port Phillip District, then a part of New South Wales, in 1839. After separation, and the formation of the new colony of Victoria on the 1st of July 1851, La Trobe became the Lieutenant-Governor. Less than a week later Victoria was rocked by the news of the discovery of gold within a hundred miles of Melbourne.

\
\
The author of this satirical letter, the result of an imagined communication between La Trobe and the Colonial Office in England, expressed a commonly held sentiment about inadequate levels of government expenditure within the new state of Victoria. The discovery of gold had upturned the local economy and La Trobe showed a reluctance to raise the salaries of public servants or to dip into the golden proceeds of the new found wealth, which was destined for England.

The Falls once provided a natural rock barrier that separated the salty tidal water of Hobson's Bay from the fresh water which flows down from the Yarra Valley. The Yarra falls were blasted away with explosives in the 1880s to make way for Queensbridge.

This ticket afforded them a 1st class cabin, exclusively for their use. A large crowd of well wishers joined the owners and agents of the ship on the steamer tug boat which ferried the Ascutna down to Staten Island.
\\ "There was shouts of hurahs, cheers, waveing handkerchiefs, hats etc etc, firing of pistols, farewells, music etc whitch was continued both on our ship and the steamer until she faded from our sight. One person hid himself on board our ship hoping he would not be noticed and get on free, but he was found and put ashore."
\\ A slight breeze and heavy rolling seas made for a slow start to the voyage:
\\ "...ship pitched so much we could hardly walk, Frances and Mason sea sick, me well. Franny drank salt water and at middle of the afternoon a good deal better. Mason better also.

Mason and me have had the Dysentary & are not quite over it yet. Frances is not very well, none escape hardly. As to the climate I never suspisioned that there could be upon the face of the earth one so disagreeable some days so cold you cannot keep warm - next day so hot you cant hardly endure it. Some mornings cold enough for flannels & cloaks, middle of day hot enough to roast you - after 4 o'clock in the afternoon cold enough for cloaks etc. cold all night etc. some hours cold some hot - and dust so thick you are covered soon as you step out of the house you get white with the dust. Next hour it rains in torrents. Mason and me got covered with dust yesterday and coming home we got saturated with rain. We poured half a bason full of watter out of our boots when we came home.

It is most disgusting to see the Governor's emisarys comit themselves forth from their camp five days in the week to hunt down the diggers and others for their Lycense. In front is 16 Bullys on horseback with muskets loaded and a sword - and about fifty on foot each with a loaded club and soon as they find any one without a lycense he has either to follow those with the club - or the horsemen, whitchever happens to catch them. I have seen poor fellows who were unable to buy a Lycense compelled to follow after a horse half a day - wherever they went - exposed to all on the diggings. It is a criminal offence here to be poor, sutch a sample of liberty speaks for iteself - needs no comment, and yet they will tell you they are the freeest people in the world "Rule Britton, Rule the slave, Till Liberty points you out a grave".

Last night and today a hot wind lots of dust flying - Summer set in in earnest - last Friday the proprietor of the Eureka Hotel here, Mr "Bently" was tried by the Coroner's jury for the murder of the man found dead near the hotel. Part of the evidence went to show that the person killed was in the Hotel and by accident broke a window. Bently followed him out, struck him with a spade and killed him - his bar keeper and others swore he was "Bently" in bed at the time, the jury verdict whitch I heard delivered was that there was not a particle of evicence against him - it gave general dissatisfaction and is supposed Bently Bribed his servants and others - he is a ritch man and what they call here an old lag - he was sent out here some years ago for life, for some crime committed in England. The Inhabitants of Ballaratt call a General meeting tomorrow to consider the whole of the Circumstances and from symptoms whitch exhibit themselves I should not wonder if his whole house was raised to the ground tomorrow.

\ After the Eureka Stockade, and the Report from the commission into the state of the goldfields, the miners licence was replaced with a miner's right. It could be purchased at the very affordable, annual cost of £1 per annum. The cost fluctuated over the years. In 1881, Yooh Woon, a Chinese miner at Ballarat, purchased this right at a cost of 5 shillings.

In fact, few emigrants returned to England having made their fortune like the family shown here. Also, the goldfields were almost entirely populated by single men: family groups like this were rare.

This pistol was used by Peter Lalor, one of the Eureka rebels. For its time, it was an old-fashioned weapon, which had to be loaded down the barrel with loose gunpowder and a round bullet. Once fired, it would take some time to reload. Lalor was wounded in the fighting, and lost an arm. But he went on to be a prominent man in the colony, and was elected to Parliament.

\\ Despite being besieged and shelled by the Germans, the troops in Tobruk managed to produce their own newsletter. This issue celebrates their successful repulse of a major German attack days earlier on 11 April. Even here, the censors were at work, and it can be seen that a word indicating the identity of a brigade has been cut out, a third of the way down the page.

\\ Some of the German prisoners of war interned in Tatura remained loyal to the Nazi regime, and they secretly published this magazine for their own use. The title "Brennessel" is the German name for nettle, a plant which stings if touched. The sting of the nettle is meant to refer to the 'sting' of the magazine's satirical humour. The term 'Hinter stacheldraht' means 'behind barbed wire'. 'Eigenverlag' means 'self-published', and 'internierungslager' means 'internment camp'. The illustration shows a prisoner waking to the New Year behind barbed wire as lazy Australian guards doze and fish.

Excerpt from diary
\
\
Sunday January 30th 1916
\
School has recommenced. The children are setting to work with earnest - and zeal that is good to behold. It is hard to part with these children. The work of teaching them seems all the more beautiful because of its approaching close. I am about to make the greatest sacrifice of my life. I feel like Abraham about to relinquish his son. My loss however shall not overwhelm me since I know that i but obey God's will. Strange to say the parting from school seems foremost, before home and friends and comfort - sometimes I think before parents. I shall proceed with the work as if I were to remain here, though I cannot restrain at times a terrible sinking feeling.
\ Since I am shortly to go to this war, should I continue with this prejudice against martial ardor which I now feel? I hate martial ardor for the sake of the "glory" which is supposed to be obtained in fighting. Times demand that we should be warlike; yet I feel that if I become warlike I am going back to the dark ages. Still, our patriotic ardor for the repression of our calumnious foe besides being legitimate, necessitates this ancient spirit.
\\ No. I will go, in my heart hating all the time the military spirit, rousing though it is. Still, I will not a whit lack determination and firmness of purpose; but this shall arise from love of Empire, and for the good of civilisation. I will train myself well in the use of militaryimplements, and forms which are necessary for our purpose, without being carried away by the blind, ignorant, heroic spirit which inspires warlike men who fight for fighting's sake along.

What will you lack, sonny, what will you lack When the girls line up the street,
\
Shouting their love to the lads come back From the foe they rushed to beat?
\
Will you send a strangled cheer to the sky And grin till your cheeks are red?
\
But what will you lack when your mate goes by With a girl who cuts you dead?
\
\
Why do they call, sonny, why do they call For men who are brave and strong?
\
Is it naught to you if your country fall, And Right is smashed by Wrong?
\
Is it football still and the picture show, The pub and the betting odds,
\
When your brothers stand to the tyrant’s blow And Britain’s call is God’s?
\
\
Where will you look, sonny, where will you look When you children yet to be
\
Clamour to learn of the part you took In the War that kept men free?
\
Will you say it was naught to you if France Stood up to her foe or bunked?
\
But where will you look when they give the glance That tells you they know you funked?
\
\
How will you fare, sonny, how will you fare In the far-off winter night,
\
When you sit by the fire in an old man’s chair And your neighbours talk of the fight?
\
Will you slink away, as it were from a blow, Your old head shamed and bent?

Or say I was not with the first to go But I went thank God, I went?

Riddell was a sapper (military engineer) in a highly mechanized war. But there was still much scope for soldiers in the trenches to come up with inventions and homemade weapons such as this. The other diagram shows how engineers from both sides tunnelled into each other's territory, and tried to undermine and blow up each other's tunnels.

I sketch rather badly some diagrams to show first a trench mortar made out of a water pipe and second a mine and countermine.
\
\
The projectile consists of the shell casing of an enemy’s shell into which is fastened a stick fitting into pipe and with a simple arrangement causing it to explode. I have sent you this to convince you that a trench mortar is hardly ’artillery’, the powder is generally measured in teaspoonfuls like cough mixture.

...The feeling between the Australians and English is very bad. I think there is no doubt that the English on two or three occasions at the Peninsula showed the white feather and ran away. From all accounts they were very raw troops and should never have been sent. There are several other incidents which have served to increase the bad feeling, and there is no love lost I can assure you. It is a very unfortunate state of affairs. On the other hand the best feeling possible reigns between the Navy and the Australians.
\
The war is in a very bad way for the Allies, could not be worse in fact and it is hard to forsee the finish and result when one comes here to the front and sees the blunders that are made, and the terrible lack of organization, and the utter ineptitude of the officers to foresee events which might happen, then no longer does one marvel that Germany can do all she has done...

\
James Dredge, Assistant Protector of Aborigines on the Goulburn River, 1839-1840.
\
\
In 1837 Lord Glenelg, in England, appointed a Protector of Aborigines and four Assistant Protectors to maintain constant contact with the Aboriginal tribes and to help impose a system of law and order upon both the indigenous and settler communities. The idea was not well received by the Port Phillip authorities, and the squatters were hostile to it.

Extract:
\
...The prospects of the Protectorate are anything but encouraging, at present the duties imposed upon its agents are very onerous while the means necessary for their efficient performance are withheld, or afforded in such pitiful parsimony as completely to embarass them and render nugatory their most strenuous exertions.
\ To me it appears plain that such is its unpopularity that this Government intends its failure so soon as the blame and disgrace of such failure can be thrown upon the Protectors. If there was any chance of success for the sake of the injured Aborigines I could strive to endure the disgraceful privations to which myself and family are subjected. With regard to pecuniary emolument the most petty storekeeper in Melbourne is far beyond us.
\\ Had I been told in England that the situation would have involved my wife and family in such disgraceful slavery I would have disdained the offer. Or had I undertaken it in the services of some charitable society whose funds would admit of no better provisions, but in which the sanctions of piety, philanthropy, and christian hopes would supply their holy aid, I might, for a while, submit.
\\ But as it is, I cannot conceive that any obligations, civil or sacred reasonably demand such sacrifice of personal comfort, conveniance, health, and I fear, the life of my wife through constant and unaccustomed toil, not to mention also personal risk, religious privations, want of education for the children, and a thousand others, and that too in the service of a Government who spares no expense in the promotion of a favourite scheme...

Many young men returned from the war seeking jobs and trades. For some of them, the Government's answer was to settle them on small blocks of agricultural land. However, many of the blocks were too small, or the land was too poor to be profitable. Not all the men who settled were cut out to be farmers.

Together with a business partner located in Scotland, he held the licence to many sheep runs in the western districts of Victoria. Under the free selection legislation of the 1860s Black was required to purchase much of the land that he and his business partners were already using, if they wished to continue to graze their sheep in the area.

\
Sir,
\
\
I lately had occasion to drive 48 head of Horses from Melbourne to my Station near Port Fairy, and on going to the Public House on the Little River, requested of Connor the Land lord to inform me where I could best depasture them for the night, remarking civilly at same time that there was not for miles a blade of grass.
\
\
He savagely replied that if I wished food for my horses he had plenty of Oat Hay and that the public had nothing to do with the grass which he paid a squatting License for and therefore had a right to conserve with his own stock – this assertion he accompanied with a torrent of Oaths and abusive language in which he was assisted by his wife, and in short their conduct altogether was so outrageous and disgusting that I would consider myself a wonting in public duty did I allow the matter to rest. I therefore beg to call your attention not only to the latter but to the injustice of allowing any publican to depasture a flock of sheep around his house thereby consuming the food which settlers and Bullock drivers trust to find at the usual stopping places, and which in this case compelled me to walk round my horses the whole night on the bare plain and with nothing for them to eat. Next morning I was informed that Connor could have shown me an excellent bend of the River where I could have placed them with safety.
\
\
I would be sorry to make a complaint against any publican whose general conduct was good, but from all I can learn, Connor and his wife are very unfit persons for the business.
\
\
Will you therefore have the kindness to inform me what steps I can take to prevent their License being granted which I will spare no trouble in effecting,
\
\
My address is Kangatong, Port Fairy
\
I am Sir,
\
Yours respectfully
\
James Dawson.

Blacks, about 50 miles N.E. of Port Fairy, by what is termed the Scrubby Creek, before settlers came among them had a regular Village. My informant who drew this states that there were between 20-30 evidently some of them big enough to hold a dozen people, their shape as under an aperture at top to let out smoke, which in rainy weather they covered with large sod, The form like a Bee Hive about 6 feet high + or - and about 10 feet in diameter. An opening about 3 feet for a door way which they could close at night with piece of bark. There, blacks made regular dams in creeks to catch fish. They could make straw nets and their baskets were different. About 1839 settlers first began to settle in this area. About May 1842 a station was formed on the opposite side of the creek to this Aboriginal settlement...

Today, the winter rains only seasonally inundate the aquaculture systems. The Gunditjmara are working towards reinstating a more permanent water supply for the Tyrendarra IPA wetlands to farm and harvest kooyang at the site.

\\ Richard Bamblett from the Gunditjmara people awaits kooyang (short finned eel) to pass through the woven basket that has been placed at the inflowing neck of a traditionally engineered stone channel at the Tyrendarra Indigenous Protected Area. The channels provide connective pathways between larger ponds where Gunditjmara people farm and harvest their kooyang.
\\ Ancestors of the Gunditjmara engineered these channels and maintained an extensive aquaculture system through the stones and wetlands of the Mt Eccles lava flow, to manage water resources and exploit the kooyang, freshwater crays and other fish indigenous to the area.

\\ Prior to European settlement, indigenous people, in the well watered areas of Australia, constructed ingenious stone fish traps - the design of the trap varying according to the local environmental conditions. The system in use in this photograph takes advantage of the fluctuating levels of the Darling River. In flood, fish swam freely into the stone constructions only to be trapped as the waters receded again.

\\ James Liddell was the captain of the schooner Thistle, owned by the Henty Brothers. He ferried the land hungry members of the Henty family back and forth between the Swan River, Port Lincoln, Portland Bay and Launceston. The Thistle was then refitted in October 1834, and Liddell embarked on a historic journey back to Portland Bay with Mr Edward Henty, a number of labourers and a cargo of cattle, farming implements, building material, general stores, fruit trees, vines and seeds. They arrived at their destination on the 19th November 1834.
\\ For the next two years Lidell was busily engaged carrying stock, stores and people to the newly established settlement.

This photograph vividly communicates the ferocity of the Australia Day fires of 2003, which raged through north east Victoria and into Canberra. Omeo is under a pall of dense smoke, the hot wind whips through the trees, and there is a menacing orange glow of the approaching fire in the background. The scale of this event is evident as a resident runs from his property and flames begin to move over the top of the town.

William Strutt's Black Thursday depicts the terrible bushfire which engulfed Victoria only days before the discovery of gold. Many died and the city was filled with dust, smoke and a rain of cinders, the glow of which could be seen from far out at sea. In his journal, Strutt later wrote: I can never forget the morning of that scorching Thursday, ever after memorable in the annals of the Colony as "Black Thursday" --- the sun looked red all day, almost as blood, and the sky the colour of mahogany. We felt in town that something terrible (with the immense volumes of smoke) must be going on up country and sure enough messenger after messenger came flocking in with tales of distress and horror.

…water barrel and got a good blow out It was not long after when I heard the well known crackling and roar of the fiery demon approaching Mrs Dwyer and all the women folk were rushing about in great excitement fearing as they said of being burnt to death I said to Mrs Dwyer don’t be afraid ma’am, the fire can’t come here why? She inquired; because there is nothing for it to burn. God help us she said As it neared the station the roar of the flames died gradually down and passed down into longer grass. On the other side of the station was a swamp of 30 or 40 acres as level as level could make it covered with water 6 or 7 inches deep; where we obtained our drinking water by cutting drains into a deep hole sunk for the purpose. The swamp was covered all over with almost impenetrable reeds 6 or 7 feet high; as green as they could possibly be Noone ever dreamt it would burn but the heat of the atmosphere and the approaching fire and the wind behind it dried the reeds to such an extent that the conflagration scoffed the whole swamp down to the water’s edge, and dried up a considerable amount of the water
\
\
The fire passed on towards Robinson’s. I was thinking of John, but as Mr Dwyer remarked, there was not so much grass on Robinson’s run being more taken up with ferns and grass tree; besides I did not think that John would be caught napping; he knew his way about under such circumstances; at least to take care of himself
\
\
Owing to the mass of burning timber left in the wake of the fire, the smoke was suffocating everyone was continuously sipping and swallowing water to moisten his parched lips and to keep the throat from drying up
\
\
A little after sundown William Nash made his appearance coming slowly up to the station with a wild distressed look on him he came up to us slid off his horse and staggered like a drunken man. Of course we were all at him for news. He put his fingers to his open mouth, as much as to say ‘give me a drink for God’s sake before I choque’. One of his sisters…

...Mr S is an excellent young man, very enthusiastic in his desire to be of use to the natives and very pious. We have no expectations of ever seeing them again. I forgot that capt Pollock returned with Miss N on Tuesday & on Wednesday morning Armstrong went with him to look at some rams he has for sale. They also took away 2 of the mares with their foals. Today Mr Robert Richardson spent with us, he is the son of Mr R of Edinburgh. A very find young man, he has a cattle station about 50 miles up the country. Armstrong has not yet come home so we sleep every night without a man in the house & no door or window is ever locked! We have now 5 irishmen who work & behave as well as possible. It is a happy life.

Saturday 27th [November 1841] Before breakfast in returning through the garden from feeding the chickens we saw a snake crawling along a bed. We called a man who killed it with a spade. It was only about 3 feet long but had a very venemous looking forked tongue. Miss N went off before dinner to Cardinia & Corio. When she was gone I found a chicken drowned in a pail of water, one of her precious ducks dead & for the 3rd misfortune, Armstrong arrived with 7 rams at ?5 each & in washing them in the river, one was drowned. He was much grieved & wished to pay for it but it was an accident & out of the question. The rams are pure merino and he intends to breed rams for sale. Mr Horsburgh came from Corio & drank tea with us, he is from Cupar, Fife. Miss N came before tea. We must endeavour to get a boat or we shall be liable to many accidents, the banks of the river are so steep the water gets deep quite at the edge.

\\ 'Coryule' at Drysdale, erected in 1849 for pioneer squatting partners, Anne Drysdale and Caroline Newcomb, is one of the finest and earliest of the picturesque Gothic Revival style homesteads in Victoria. It is undoubtedly the most distinctive work of the celebrated colonial architect, Charles Laing, prior to 1851.
\
\
This asymmetrical plan mansion with unusual entry hall and staircases has few counterparts in Australia. The partnership of zealous women squatters, Drysdale and Newcomb, is of paramount significance to the history of pastoral enterprise in Australia. The mansion is constructed of locally quarried sandstone with patent metal roofing and decorated loopy timber barges

\ Joseph Docker, Letterbook, 1845
\\ Joseph Docker's flocks, like those of many other pastoralists, suffered from scab mite - a common, yet financially devastating infestation. This letter from Docker to William (possibly his brother in Sydney), reveals the cost of treating his flocks - tobacco washes came to be accepted as the most effective treatment. The letter also illustrates the complicated juggling of finances that pastoralists had to engage in, to ensure creditors were paid, and bank accounts were not overdrawn during the depressed economy of the time. Remote pastoralists were wholly reliant on the slow, unreliable postal service, to communicate with their business associates such as agents, bank managers, and the Commissioner of Lands.

My dear William,
\
I have deferred writing to you so long that I have but just time enough to save the Post. I have engaged a sheep doctor to take all trouble from my own hands, and on this account I require different medicine from that which I at first intended to use. Among other things I want (2,000) two thousand pounds of tobacco stems, i.e., the fibres of the tobacco leaf, not the stalks, & as I think you will get them cheaper in Sydney than I could in Melbourne I should wish you to purchase that quantity, & forward it to Mr Gregory by the very first opportunity, as I have already begun to shear & no time must be lost. As to payment I will forward you an early cheque for the amount, or if you could get it on three months credit I should thus have time to send a load or two of wool to Melbourne to enable me to meet this and other contingent payments. I am told there are plenty of stems to be got in bags for the purpose of sheep dressings but if you cannot get them, perhaps you could get sound colonial tobacco, but I should not wish for this kind to exceed 6d per pound. Write to me without fail next week. I have not time to say more,
\
I am my dear William
\
Yours truly, Joseph Docker

\\ Melbourne : The League, 1925 (Melbourne : Farrow Falcon Press)
\\ In the first half of the 20th century, Victorian government policy actively encouraged regional settlement with the goal of creating a densely populated state of family run farms. These government efforts were known as closer settlement schemes and they focused on enticing British, European and America migrants to Victoria.
\\ This 112 page pamphlet is an attempt, by the New Settlers' League, to communicate the important information that would be wanted by an immigrant who is contemplating an agricultural life in regional Victoria. It contains useful information such as the existence of concession fares on trains for those who can prove that they are taking up land direct from the Government, as well as how to rig up a bush shower from a kerosene tin, a jam tin and hog wire.

\\ Large scale irrigation projects began in the late 19th century in the North West of Victoria. Irrigation schemes, which utilise a system of dams, weirs and locks to regulate an unpredictable water supply (i.e. the Murray River) allowed farmers to plant a wider variety of food crops such as citrus and stone fruits in an area that would otherwise not support such endeavours.
