<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">After
European colonization, the area we now know as Beaconsfield was once called

The land which surrounds the Villa was once leased out as a pastoral run named
Panty Gurn Gurn. In the <i>Upper Beaconsfield Early History</i>, C.W Wilson
sites the first European owner of the land as C.F Jackson. The property then
passed to Thomas Jackson in the 1840s and to William Bowman in 1850 before
David Bowman was given preemptive right in 1853<a href="file:///C:/Users/Pak%20Library/Downloads/Villa%20Mar%20final.docx#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn2;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: DengXian; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[2]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

In the 1870s the O’Neil
siblings acquired lots of land surrounding Panty Gurn Gurn. From 1878, maps
indicate an E. O’Neil occupying Lot 53, M. O’Neil in Lot 34, and John O’Neil
holding lot 54.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

knit jumper and long painted fingernails to match. High heeled shoes and
stockings topped off her formidable appearance. She used flash cards to teach
us the alphabet and after lunch, we all had a nap on our woolen mats brought
from home. Her beautiful piano playing whilst we napped was a welcome delight
–she played a ‘brown bird singing’ with her long fingers rippling up and down
the keyboard. Our reader for the year was

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Grade 1, 1952</b> The second half of the year was a much noisier
affair in the junior school - an area dominated by the old Pakenham State
School which housed the junior mistress Miss Glew, a strict woman who ruled
assemblies with a wooden ruler applied to the backs of the legs for lapses in
attention. Our teacher, Miss Pearce sported a cherry red/maroon swing back
coat. In grade 1 and all other classes, we sat in wooden desks that seated
two- boys in one half of the room and girls in the other half. The general rule
was, a quiet classroom- hands up to ask or answer a question, 'Hands on
heads’ to regain some classroom order and<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>hands together fingers clasped and sit up straight to see which row
could go to lunch first. We read from the Grade 1 reader, played with plasticine
which had a particular pungent smell and was a marbled brown and streaked
composition of colours as it had been used by many classes before us. The
plasticine was rolled out on to wooden boards and stick figures made by rolling
pieces of plasticine to the required shapes, Finger painting was looked forward
to as a large dollop of blue/green coloured paste (like clag, the universal
sticking paste kept in glass jars and applied with a round quarter inch brush)
was applied to a sheet of cartridge paper. Our job was then to spread the paste
with our hands and draw wavy patterns with our index finger- a precursor to
writing possibly. We also had religious instruction by Mr Dyer who sang
heartily and told us to build our love on a strong foundation- as we did the
hand actions placing a closed fist on top of the other closed fist and repeating, demonstrating the strong
foundation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Grade
2, 1953</span></b><span lang="EN-US"> We
moved over to the long classroom wing and grade 2A was housed in the room nearest to
the road. Here Mrs Joyce Hosking taught us by allowing us to see on excursions,
how food was made- We visited the bakery in Pakenham to see the loaves go into
the multiple tins for baking, Handsford’s dairy farm to see the cows being
milked and Hosking’s apple orchard to see how apples grow. In the classroom we
made a model of an orchard in our sand tray at the back of the room using gum
twigs for trees and rolled up little balls of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>red crepe paper for the apples which we pasted on with clag.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Grade 2, 1953, saw the school perform a grand
scale concert over 2 nights at the Mechanics Institute and the Hall. The theme
‘around the world’ was apt, as we had more students arriving from Netherlands,
Poland and Germany. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
was also the year of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, so a walk to the
station was undertaken to see the Royal Train - our big challenge was then to
make the crown from coloured paper (kindergarten squares.) It was also a year
for rife coughs and colds and absenteeism as we slowly recovered from pleurisy,
glandular fever and tonsillitis. We read from the Grade 2 reader and a primer
with coloured drawings. For craft work we made a pom pom blue bird in sky blue
wool with a red felt beak on a twisted wool red and blue cord by which to hang
it up. In Grade 2 we wrote with blue pencil- largish hexagon shaped shaft.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Grade
3, 1954</span></b><span lang="EN-US">- We moved to the next room in the long
wing with Miss Kathleen Gibbs- who wore a 6 gored grey flannel skirt and a sky-blue hand knitted jumper with a Fair
Isle yoke. Miss Gibbs had very neat small sloping Copper Plate handwriting and
her black board was artistic and neat. She was able to decorate the top of the
board in Spring with pink blossoms and leaves drawn with coloured chalk- It was
a work of Art indeed. Miss Gibbs taught us about the Trans Canada Railway and about animals called moose and beavers. We
read from the Grade 3 Reader and did arithmetic from a text called Arithmetic
for grade 3 and learnt to write- good work was rewarded with a rubberstamped
animal or a silver or gold stick on star. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US">This year we had a wash bag with soap and a washer in a draw string
bag, which we proudly hung at the front of the room, but I feel wasn’t used too
much after the novelty wore off! Our
craft work was to knit a dark brown doll with clothes- a mammoth task as garter
stitch was time consuming – most of us struggled but one of our class members
completed the task with clothes- very neat and perfect like its horse-riding
creator from Toomuc Valley!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We also travelled by bus to Warragul to see

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Grade
4 and 5, 1955-1956</span></b><span lang="EN-US"> with ‘skinny’ Mrs Warren ( there were 2 Mrs Warrens.)
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mrs Warren wore Fletcher Jones skirts
and twin sets- mostly her dark green tartan and fuschia twinset, but for best
when the Inspector, Mr. Holden came in his FJ Holden car, she wore her black
and white Shepherds’ plaid skirt with her scarlet twinset, her lipstick matched
and just before lunch she would open her lunch tin and look in the lid for a
mirror, apply fresh lipstick, and use the index finger and thumb to make sure
she had no ‘runs’ in the corner of her mouth. She was firm and fair and taught
us how to write in Copper Plate font, practicing until we ‘got it.’ In later
life we often were amazed by the similarity of the handwriting of siblings and
friends alike – all taught by Mrs. Warren. She taught us well, tables,
arithmetic operations including long division in grade 5- here we also
progressed to using fountain pens. We also learnt to prepare a page in our
exercise books each morning by ruling a margin down the left side, the width of
a ruler- no bumps. Perhaps the greatest pleasure was receiving the Greyhound pastel
box, new at the beginning of the year with colours we did not have in our
pencil set- Sea Green and Turquoise were favourites. (To this day my school
buddy and I both live at different locations with the Sea Green around
us all day.) Mrs. Warren was a perfectionist and for her we worked hard. We
learnt spelling from a spelling list issued by the Education Department- 10
spelling at a time to be learnt overnight and tested the next day. We also had
many tables tests until we knew all our tables to 12 times faultlessly. The
geography lesson was the Murray River and for history we learnt about early
explorers in Australia like Burke and Wills and Ludwig Leichardt. For Assessment, we kept a Test Book in our wooden
desks to be used when Mr. Holden arrived to test our learning. From time to
time, we did a writing piece in the test book to be shown to Mr. Holden. Music
was learnt from a song book and from the radio broadcasts- songs from around
the world – Dance the Hopak and the Maori Canoe Song. Our craft work for the
girls, was the making of a cloth cover for our Reader using red 1/8 inch
gingham cotton cloth with our name cross stitched in blue Broder cotton using
the squares for guidance. A 2-tone tea cosy for a tea pot was knitted, in
basket weave stitch- green garter stitch lining and gold basket weave outer
layer (patriotic for Olympic Games?) and from memory a knitting cotton face
washer in garter stitch,<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">For sport, we did lots of drills - cross ball
and tunnel ball where we competed fiercely with our other grade class.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lunchtimes we played rounders endlessly- a
game like baseball but with a little cricket bat with which to hit a tennis
ball. Skippy was big too. 2 students turned the big rope while the whole class
took turns to run or jump through the turning rope. My sister’s class were good
at double rope skipping, where 2 ropes were turned and jumpers ran and jumped
through without tangling in the ropes. Hopscotch was also big and the boys
played marbles and chasey around the school. The highlight of Grade 5 was of
course the trip by train to Melbourne to see the Olympic Games- we had a day at
the athletics and saw Vladimir Kutz run the 5000 metres. The whole school also
filed through the house over the road from the school to see a grainy black and
white image of the games on a very new television set- the only television set
at the school end of Pakenham.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Grade 6, 1957</b> and we moved to the
South side of the school- 2 grade sixes Mr. Bert Bailey in his navy well worn
pin striped suit, and Mrs. Joyce Hosking, rugged up on the school bus in her
orange and black, big collared mohair coat. Here we learnt to become efficient
and faster at arithmetic and read from Reader for grade 6 and from The School
Paper which arrived monthly. The school paper had articles, short stories poems
song on the back cover and could be used for transcription, comprehension
and<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>spelling. We practiced writing,
knowing the ‘parts of speech’- Subject and then the predicate. The predicate
had adverbial clauses, adjectival phrases and correct tenses for verbs. We
learnt a poem by heart as we had done from grade 3 onwards. Social Studies was
a large part of the week and we travelled theoretically from England to Australia
learning the history, geography, journeys of discovery along the way.
Occasional light relief came with The Gould League of Bird Lovers Colouring
competitions and the use of Derwent pencils to get the colours of the ‘blue
crane’ correct. The grade 6s also had the pleasure of delivering a crate of
milk to each class by morning play time. We formed pairs of 1 boy and 1 girl
and then had races with the full crates to see which pair could deliver the
most crates- clatter bang across the yard... Sometimes out the classroom window
you could count the carriages of a coal train from Yallourn- 48 springs to mind. Miss Walke taught us singing with challenging
songs like Peter Dawson’s<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Stockriders’
Song”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>with the lyrics ‘We’ve been up
Queensland way with the cattle many day.’ Art was taken in the Art room- a
dedicated room with Miss Dot Barr and
Miss Ruth Butler in charge. We learnt the rudiments of water colour painting,
attempted guache by mixing egg yolk into pigment paint powder, stitched a rag
doll and wove a basket base with gingham fabric draw string beach bag, knitted
a cardigan and the senior school made macramé belts with plastic tubing 1/16
inch in diameter. The canteen stocked the plastic by the yard and the plastic
‘craze’ consumed the school. On the school bus, we macraméd key rings, wrist
bands and kept eternally busy watching our patterns emerge.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
also played 'cats' cradle’ on the bus with a length of wool and the person
sitting beside you working the patterns in the wool. The excursions this year
were to Grant’s Picnic ground at Kallista in the Dandenongs to see the forest
and see the crimson rosellas. Another excursion was to Melbourne where we
climbed to the top of the Nicholas building to see the sights- 6 floors from
memory!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The management of the whole school was
overseen by the Principal Mr.Charles McKenzie Hicks who had a rubber stamp with
his name in French Garabond font- no doubt to stamp the hundreds of reports
written on small sheets of paper about 10cm by 8 cm- just enough room to put a
score out of 10 for each subject and a small comment of how the student was
going. His secretary was Mrs Bowyer for whom my buddy and I did her flower arrangement
for her desk each Monday morning – to be handsomely rewarded with a tin of toffees
at the end of the year. Each day we marched into school to the march ‘Imperial
Echoes’played over the loudspeaker. Each Monday morning we had an assembly
where we pledged allegiance to Country and to the Queen and promised to
‘cheerfully obey our parents, teachers and the law’ – the boys stood at attention with their right hand over their hearts as they chanted the oath. The flag
was raised each Monday and we all sang the National Anthem ‘God Save the
Queen’. The school also had a Fife and Drum band and a Bugle and Drum band,
introduced and supervised by Mr. Frank Walsh who also was the band leader for
the Pakenham and Citizens Brass Band. Many students who began in the Bugle and
Drum Band moved on to play brass in the Pakenham band and for some it became
their careers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

fabric- no fancy knickers!- grey socks and black lace-up shoes. The school
jumper was grey with bands of maroon and royal blue. We wore a white shirt and
maroon tie. In grade 6 we also had a grey blazer and a school badge with the
motto ‘to thine own self be true’. The boys wore grey pants above the knees
with long grey socks.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

The collection, which numbers 800 objects in total, tells the story of the development of City of Casey. All objects have social, historical and cultural significance to the current and past local government entities in the region, including the Shire of Berwick and Cranbourne.<br /><br />The objects include purchased, created, awarded, or gifted items, including artworks, ceremonial, armorial, commemorative, development, sport and community objects. From the 1970s, the City of Casey displayed many of these objects in their council building at Narre Warren. When the council moved offices, to Bunjil Place in 2017, the decision was made to take the collection off display. Once the council offices in Narre Warren were closed, the collection was documented and put into storage.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi0xX217nF7-zPYwAkgb4lIcTjzJ5BYIMnFbZXSu2PUceo10LlIgw6O6C-RYwlZeKTbEX0F4Oxa3yrtpdx61lWy8JhlBhrS2DQC-qXsJ6NY-DTDsW8KDkaMkxW25h0ZRq34jIjsy5bKHCZ6js54nUfDeCnkjrai-OL1KS7ImuAf4Q2TQMaZ-K-GRh-7SQ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="673" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi0xX217nF7-zPYwAkgb4lIcTjzJ5BYIMnFbZXSu2PUceo10LlIgw6O6C-RYwlZeKTbEX0F4Oxa3yrtpdx61lWy8JhlBhrS2DQC-qXsJ6NY-DTDsW8KDkaMkxW25h0ZRq34jIjsy5bKHCZ6js54nUfDeCnkjrai-OL1KS7ImuAf4Q2TQMaZ-K-GRh-7SQ=w269-h320" width="269" /></a><br />Portrait of Lord Casey. <a href="https://collection.casey.vic.gov.au/objects/1361/lord-casey ">System ID: 1361.</a><div><a href="https://collection.casey.vic.gov.au/objects/1361/lord-casey "></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgeGZhl0ENIjB1JWeZI7acxEeMgRY82Fa9FHkHJbz61iOHDmJNn4TYSwZ-daGtxRkIwtyzfcdYr_0iM6L9pOL2qV7FmD85siZmuYjV_SIEQDjgJDSCfi8wghe8lWJHniJEZ8aB2aOrMGWhWjf1ZEXOUbTAMXhTtnIj_sljaKEXBRXJTitZfdmIgfnMoKA" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="613" data-original-width="800" height="245" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgeGZhl0ENIjB1JWeZI7acxEeMgRY82Fa9FHkHJbz61iOHDmJNn4TYSwZ-daGtxRkIwtyzfcdYr_0iM6L9pOL2qV7FmD85siZmuYjV_SIEQDjgJDSCfi8wghe8lWJHniJEZ8aB2aOrMGWhWjf1ZEXOUbTAMXhTtnIj_sljaKEXBRXJTitZfdmIgfnMoKA=w320-h245" width="320" /></a><br />Berwick Sister City Commemorative Plate. <a href="https://collection.casey.vic.gov.au/objects/1223/commemorative-plate-for-the-city-of-casey-from-the-borough-of-berwick-upon-tweed ">System ID: 1223.</a><br /><br />All objects remained in storage until 2019, when the City of Casey commenced a project to catalogue the items to make them accessible to the outside world.

(available on Trove)</p><p>The Eumemmering races were held at a track adjacent to the Eumemmering Hotel, which was located on the same site that the Prince Mark Hotel now occupies – the corner of Princes Highway and Power Road.</p><p>The Eumemmerring Hotel was “just one mile east of Dandenong” and became famous not only for “its readiness to quench the thirst, but also because of the adjacent racecourse.” The course was laid out on 70 acres and was known locally as “Hennessy’s course”. Hennessy was Michael Hennessy, the publican of the Eumemmerring Hotel who along with Henry Wilson, was the race starter on the Eumemmerring Races program. Hennessy also took on the role of Treasurer for the races.

So fierce was the fire that the Hotel was practically the only building left standing the in neighbourhood.” </p><p>Knowing that it was already a popular course at that time, we can assume it had already been running for a number of years at that stage, so its likely creation and use for public race meetings likely date back to the 1840s, if not earlier.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnNsphIIHz1e0lZq4JdksYNAdS3OLN1P3WMkfoWwBFkpbWXcVMiG6phBAZNIGlvupVj-FmBfTcN4UorkJQcSFEdpLF7Y6Zoo2lP9XEvyiQu_LG3W6kENe-DysTD0alyGWjTVpSHH1wiANyOn-rK-UyxMY7skp_HdNkgkGzOgBkeC71LBSAUzeGYjKg/s9921/Eumemmerring%20races%20-%20location%20red%20dot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="7015" data-original-width="9921" height="283" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnNsphIIHz1e0lZq4JdksYNAdS3OLN1P3WMkfoWwBFkpbWXcVMiG6phBAZNIGlvupVj-FmBfTcN4UorkJQcSFEdpLF7Y6Zoo2lP9XEvyiQu_LG3W6kENe-DysTD0alyGWjTVpSHH1wiANyOn-rK-UyxMY7skp_HdNkgkGzOgBkeC71LBSAUzeGYjKg/w400-h283/Eumemmerring%20races%20-%20location%20red%20dot.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">A zoomed out map, red dot marks the likely location of the racecourse and hotel.

The Maiden Plate and the District Race was won by the same mare “Victoria”, owned by GK Dunbar, beating his rival JK Dunbar’s bay “The Demon”. ("Reminiscences of early Dandenong, pg. 97)</p><p>Race meetings were well advertised in the adjacent hotel as well as the two local newspapers: The Dandenong Advertiser and The South Bourke and Mornington Journal. </p><p>Boxing Day races were a regular fixture, and race meetings were also periodically organised for other holidays, including St Patrick’s Day. The race meet moved to VRC rules somewhere between 1885 and 1888 (with Michael Hennessy calling the shots on that).</p><p>A regular visitor to the races was Member of Parliament for Cranbourne, Dr. Louis Lawrence Smith MD, who not only placed bets but advertised his services on the side. This included regular half page ads on the front of the South Bourke and Mornington Journal.</p><p>Michael Hennessy died in August 1889 and his estate was not great, indicating that he did not make a fortune from the races or his hotel. The estate valued a total of 944.0.0 pounds.</p><p>The racetrack was also used for more than horse racing. For terrier coursing with rabbits was run, with handbills being printed to publicise the event to local residents and racecourse visitors. (Call back yesterday., pg. 45)</p><p>Even with the passing of Michael Hennessy, the races continued, with records of them still being held in 1910. </p><p>First sign of wholesale change came when the Lace Factory from William A. Smith was built on what is now Princes Highway, just north of Eumemmering Creek in 1951. It was moved from the UK after the original factory was bombed in World War 2. When new factories were being constructed in the area in 1957, a construction worker dug up a sovereign and two half-sovereign coins minted in 1900, which a local identified as being some of those lost by a rider during a race, with only a few coins recovered at the time.</p><p>The races were finally stopped somewhere before the 1950s, as reported by one reader in the Dandenong Journal in 1957, due to “the ringing-in of horses and ponies under any name but their own registered ones.” This reader’s reminiscences prompted them to author this poem. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5hqZi0zl3s3KCSVrToo9Q3e3jpTXTRZg-b9W9lgupPypjfK_OicC4jbS4XYfsL2ZgJs53d3IuFaZkw0WqJgXoL5dZ5VYIS0YOhwNB1_QVdsgVWLjVDUsfriHtNss917d1eHUbbJbTU2Qk4AcRAey1zF-u8zslOvVns5pAcmjgnaI0yPjVD1767Fee/s1478/Eummemering%20races%20poem%20.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1478" data-original-width="1374" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5hqZi0zl3s3KCSVrToo9Q3e3jpTXTRZg-b9W9lgupPypjfK_OicC4jbS4XYfsL2ZgJs53d3IuFaZkw0WqJgXoL5dZ5VYIS0YOhwNB1_QVdsgVWLjVDUsfriHtNss917d1eHUbbJbTU2Qk4AcRAey1zF-u8zslOvVns5pAcmjgnaI0yPjVD1767Fee/s320/Eummemering%20races%20poem%20.jpg" width="297" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Anonymous (Call back yesterday pg. 90-91).</span></p><p>The Dandenong area had a number of courses operating in the 1800’s, including closer to the Dandenong township and at Bangholme.

However, the site did not begin as a park, only becoming one after a rocky reservoir project ended. The site officially began as the Lysterfield Reservoir in 1929. Undertaken by the State Rivers and Water Supply Commission, the reservoir was designed to have a depth of 120 feet and the capacity to hold 15000 million gallons of water. It would be filled by the Bunyip Main Race and would then provide water to the Mornington Peninsula region, and later to the Dandenong, Hallam, Beaconsfield and Berwick areas.<br /><br />Construction began in the area – a section of Eumemmerring Creek, around 6 kilometres north-east of Dandenong – in 1929. Approximately 120 men were employed and 100 horses used to build the reservoir by 1930; engaging in the likely grueling work of levelling the land by horse scoops. <br /><br />In early January of 1931, workers arrived for their first day back on the job after the Christmas holiday period, only to find they’d lost their jobs. As written in the articles below, between 200 and 300 men were working on the reservoir when construction stopped, all of whom lost their jobs immediately. It seemed that the State Rivers and Water Supply Commission needed to perform a test on the reservoir in its incomplete state, to see if the capacity would be sufficient for the need. As indicated in the article below, speculation that the project had run out of necessary funds was rife.<div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc8ali2rvz7nmo62z0_TxLq7WD-t5z9Fe0KIFkxKqtvz77B2LjJ8J-tRvsV05BQTlkP0sTQ0MZ99bQAFLXxrnBAP5FP1NBM_lCUjy5JWlTpoN7xRHOYm_fUvQfFSTIP8IQes0KA4HLuoT4h9bR7zeDSB_tBXIMiHffKoidkT_2Z5I2-nbaMF-kLFyp/s465/Work%20suspended%20on%20Lysterfield%20dam.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="465" data-original-width="262" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc8ali2rvz7nmo62z0_TxLq7WD-t5z9Fe0KIFkxKqtvz77B2LjJ8J-tRvsV05BQTlkP0sTQ0MZ99bQAFLXxrnBAP5FP1NBM_lCUjy5JWlTpoN7xRHOYm_fUvQfFSTIP8IQes0KA4HLuoT4h9bR7zeDSB_tBXIMiHffKoidkT_2Z5I2-nbaMF-kLFyp/w225-h400/Work%20suspended%20on%20Lysterfield%20dam.PNG" width="225" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgugiQ8SHrmpAiLPWwFaZNSqXRW6FcUQTaLE2Kzkk8_4XrEQrk-8ENS_ytT4c3uURpTjhekMD9E2WM4Gw8RoD-gp2db7iRGS_tqSUnOojgt3T5dvZAxQJGRbMKyoEo_4tfVo-qqJ0VzCg1iTUD5X8UnYfrvAO7PYVLRqnRc7yDxXm7GcCYsPl-Txqs/s608/mornington%20water%20supply.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="608" data-original-width="290" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgugiQ8SHrmpAiLPWwFaZNSqXRW6FcUQTaLE2Kzkk8_4XrEQrk-8ENS_ytT4c3uURpTjhekMD9E2WM4Gw8RoD-gp2db7iRGS_tqSUnOojgt3T5dvZAxQJGRbMKyoEo_4tfVo-qqJ0VzCg1iTUD5X8UnYfrvAO7PYVLRqnRc7yDxXm7GcCYsPl-Txqs/w191-h400/mornington%20water%20supply.PNG" width="191" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>Days later, representations were made to the Premier of Victoria and the chairman of the State Rivers and Water Supply Commission on behalf of those who’d lost their jobs; 100 of whom were local. 6 days later, workers were assured they would either re-start their job working on the reservoir or would be assisted to find alternative employment on other projects. However, the answer from the Commission and government as to whether the work would be resumed remained indefinite. At this time, the capacity of the reservoir had only reached approximately 924 million gallons; far less than the 15000 initially planned. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2onGqErAY6lSjKaKWm15863vcNLopswuyqueF0e3qTchdpRkTQcVXrAvfyboUnx7-vV2Wt1qJT1AlK3d7tUXw4FLBhJfj7sJ1TLTbBeenr-HYlKmYKrRByUoomGACe-7Zg7yDjHmaBD20sMkt_QBU9-W_uEcdiAy2ySKHe3_yShXmytnCjD354g14/s471/lysterfield%20reservoir.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="471" data-original-width="295" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2onGqErAY6lSjKaKWm15863vcNLopswuyqueF0e3qTchdpRkTQcVXrAvfyboUnx7-vV2Wt1qJT1AlK3d7tUXw4FLBhJfj7sJ1TLTbBeenr-HYlKmYKrRByUoomGACe-7Zg7yDjHmaBD20sMkt_QBU9-W_uEcdiAy2ySKHe3_yShXmytnCjD354g14/s320/lysterfield%20reservoir.PNG" width="200" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh77OtRmSpsDlyIgHntOOmhijjQb7CD7ljW668QGm4oHevphuEQJ8trAfHcNq8XsccaDUDRa3IwmylzFzllV_VUl5lc9SL_zfH894QmB3ISadJyjzoxCo09eJ75vLK_o1p9i7ir9d61nG4mk2-o_S-DCrc8ZDQUMIZphj7-G-8tz32rJLpW3SBUVLT/s542/lysterfield%20reservoir%20dande.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="542" data-original-width="226" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh77OtRmSpsDlyIgHntOOmhijjQb7CD7ljW668QGm4oHevphuEQJ8trAfHcNq8XsccaDUDRa3IwmylzFzllV_VUl5lc9SL_zfH894QmB3ISadJyjzoxCo09eJ75vLK_o1p9i7ir9d61nG4mk2-o_S-DCrc8ZDQUMIZphj7-G-8tz32rJLpW3SBUVLT/s320/lysterfield%20reservoir%20dande.PNG" width="133" /><br /></a></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh77OtRmSpsDlyIgHntOOmhijjQb7CD7ljW668QGm4oHevphuEQJ8trAfHcNq8XsccaDUDRa3IwmylzFzllV_VUl5lc9SL_zfH894QmB3ISadJyjzoxCo09eJ75vLK_o1p9i7ir9d61nG4mk2-o_S-DCrc8ZDQUMIZphj7-G-8tz32rJLpW3SBUVLT/s542/lysterfield%20reservoir%20dande.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><br /></a></div><div><div style="text-align: left;">Work, it seemed, would not resume until the early 1940s. When it did the Commission recommended to government that an area of 3000 acres be purchased as water catchment lands, to ensure adequate water supply to the Peninsula. Community uproar was high, as you would expect, considering the catchment would include 30 residences and 8 farms – 2000 acres of which was being used for agriculture – alongside the Church of England Boys Society Training Farm. Purchase of the land was designed to prevent pollution and siltation of the reservoir and would ensure water supply to Mornington Peninsula could keep up with the predicted growth of the region.</div> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV7oW10RsiETB6ovyqx_C94hXVhT0tZ85HncXyS3W8CZ4TkVTiEqAJCL3qNlOq780JkfuHaexLU0VTnI8bzwIY47M4rixA6OBSYY-cyIa-XFPptVWdzI-oMByE9OGUgMuflqA3pijBZSmv05U1_ew3nXuRUOVBpUo3nv1mNfqU2YwW8Os3_izaNrBD/s694/water%20plan%20affects%20farm%20sites.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="694" data-original-width="190" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV7oW10RsiETB6ovyqx_C94hXVhT0tZ85HncXyS3W8CZ4TkVTiEqAJCL3qNlOq780JkfuHaexLU0VTnI8bzwIY47M4rixA6OBSYY-cyIa-XFPptVWdzI-oMByE9OGUgMuflqA3pijBZSmv05U1_ew3nXuRUOVBpUo3nv1mNfqU2YwW8Os3_izaNrBD/w110-h400/water%20plan%20affects%20farm%20sites.PNG" width="110" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiigt459VsOg85rjqI6gzLjusDMscKdKDG1dU1bl6vTd66v16Qs-SgPvA3RblExyA_jWnboLJmaSQiq2PdRpdxWJfkWtRWIFSqIgNrEdsL59-MOaEUyGCPO9H6rVHSiR7qLVZeJa6cvm6OpcG91CIzjmhsyP7jeAzma54ghJTJClKWhRdvSKW2I19cV/s405/pollution%20of%20water.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="405" data-original-width="258" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiigt459VsOg85rjqI6gzLjusDMscKdKDG1dU1bl6vTd66v16Qs-SgPvA3RblExyA_jWnboLJmaSQiq2PdRpdxWJfkWtRWIFSqIgNrEdsL59-MOaEUyGCPO9H6rVHSiR7qLVZeJa6cvm6OpcG91CIzjmhsyP7jeAzma54ghJTJClKWhRdvSKW2I19cV/s320/pollution%20of%20water.PNG" width="204" /></a></div><div><br />The manager of the Church of England Boys Society Training Farm appealed directly to the state government on this matter.

The boys farm moved to Yering in 1945, so presumably the land was purchased in very late 1944 to early 1945. 30 years later in 1974, the Lysterfield Reservoir, alongside the Beaconsfield Reservoir, was decommissioned as a water supply source after the opening of the Cardinia Reservoir. The site was then acquired and turned into the Lysterfield Park, during 1981. <br /><br />Lysterfield Park is now part of the Lysterfield and Churchill State Park, managed by Parks Victoria. There are a wide range of walking, running and biking trails, alongside birdwatching, swimming and picnic spots. Few remnants of the Church of England Boys Society Training Farm remain in the park, which is now listed as a local heritage site by Yarra Ranges Council.

The Cranbourne Royal Botanic Gardens boast an amazing Australian bushland experience, with over 10kms of walking trails, and over 100,000 plants from 1,900 varieties (450 of which are Indigenous plants.) Setting it apart from all the other Royal Botanic Gardens is the fact that Cranbourne Gardens is on land that was never cleared of its indigenous vegetation. <br /><br />Once known as the Cranbourne Reserve, owned by the Australian Army, and utilised for Light Horse training, parts of the area had been quarried for sand and topsoil. However, there were large areas that had remained untouched. This made the location perfect for a Royal Botanic Park focused on native plant species and landscapes. The area, over 475 acres, was acquired in 1969 using funds from the Maud Gibson Trust. Then, work began! <br /><br />The gardens opened in 1989 and were an immediate success. During development, the main goal had been to create an area of sanctuary for the largest colony of Southern Brown Bandicoots in Victoria, living in our region, and a space welcoming to community. This goal was most definitely accomplished! <div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW247926327 BCX0" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>The overwhelming success of the gardens meant that the need for a Friends Group of volunteers to care for the space was pressing. Flyers went out to the community in 1991, and on its first founding meeting more than 200 community members were in attendance and became involved.<br /><br />Now, a new publication, ‘Of Friends & Gardens: A History of the Cranbourne Friends of Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria,’ by Carolyn Landon (author and member of the group) explores the history of the Cranbourne Friends of the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria. <div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW247926327 BCX0" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><p class="Paragraph SCXW247926327 BCX0" paraeid="{e43a316d-69ff-4c44-ba62-fb4bc7984214}{89}" paraid="717911408" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span class="EOP SCXW247926327 BCX0" data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-family: "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 19.425px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="Paragraph SCXW247926327 BCX0" paraeid="{e43a316d-69ff-4c44-ba62-fb4bc7984214}{89}" paraid="717911408" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="background-color: white;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzzw69PRmYMtuS9xgNm3rBTLxzT2EZ2CCRKD9YFEP5lW1gtjXtC5KTAgOLGAHTA-Aq6pbs3KqSTe95Y8R_njiV93tj_jNSdnUYd568qX6qX5M_Y4DAwi9GRzgoicDU8jprLTVnfseKrIkHY4p1OZork783R9uIzaE4Tw7K24idcD5i9bYrrPSqCkQ4/s377/of-friends-and-gardens.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="377" data-original-width="300" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzzw69PRmYMtuS9xgNm3rBTLxzT2EZ2CCRKD9YFEP5lW1gtjXtC5KTAgOLGAHTA-Aq6pbs3KqSTe95Y8R_njiV93tj_jNSdnUYd568qX6qX5M_Y4DAwi9GRzgoicDU8jprLTVnfseKrIkHY4p1OZork783R9uIzaE4Tw7K24idcD5i9bYrrPSqCkQ4/w319-h400/of-friends-and-gardens.jpg" width="319" /></a></div><p></p></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW247926327 BCX0" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; clear: both; cursor: text; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; text-align: left; user-select: text;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>It follows the site from its earliest inception, including the many successes of the group; establishing nurseries, as well as the Maud Gibson room and library (for use by members and staff.)

has served the local community for decades, with records dating back to the 1970s.
The huge granite rock, shaped like the animal whom it is named after, is
located on Beaconsfield – Emerald Road, Dewhurst. Regularly painted by professional
painters and muralists including the likes of Ted VanGo and Katherine
Brandenberger, as well as members of the public, the rock is sure to change
with every drive by.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><o:p></o:p><p></p>

At the time, construction workers believed the rock to be a fraction of the size. Upon digging, they discovered the rock would be far to difficult to remove. This lead to a problem; the new road would need to run right through the site. It was decided the rock would remain, and the road was constructed around it. Now a permanent fixture in many local lives, the rock is
easily accessible via a public car park, offering views overlooking the
Cardinia Reservoir. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirOEPB7lkXOg4YmtlyXIMs-NdxH8mZd5jvyRDzfmcrdEjT0UxMGT0-HLf3XgkUxm5fekFoUPSWSsOTMzer-cpd2i6_xfIYabCVEsMw8pQQG4KlWEe7G9fe5Aw7BcCk-LSnwGisCp7ov1LMtfgiE-R0CT-JlZutCd8OpDs_4Ffx2ttW10frs7WKW0a3/s670/elephant%20rock3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="472" data-original-width="670" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirOEPB7lkXOg4YmtlyXIMs-NdxH8mZd5jvyRDzfmcrdEjT0UxMGT0-HLf3XgkUxm5fekFoUPSWSsOTMzer-cpd2i6_xfIYabCVEsMw8pQQG4KlWEe7G9fe5Aw7BcCk-LSnwGisCp7ov1LMtfgiE-R0CT-JlZutCd8OpDs_4Ffx2ttW10frs7WKW0a3/s320/elephant%20rock3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Image credits: Elephant Rock Facebook Group (24/2/2019)</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Early names of local towns.<p style="text-align: right;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">by Michelle McLean</span></i></p><p style="text-align: right;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Casey Cardinia Libraries</span></i></p><p>The local area encompassed by the current City of Casey and Cardinia Shire, has a rich and long history. So long that quite a number of the local townships have changed names and sometimes locations! Explored here is a selection of those towns, with a brief explanation of their earlier name(s).</p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Bald Hill = Lyndhurst</b></p><p>Originally known as Bald Hill, the area was renamed after Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Chancellor of England in the early 1800s. The school there started as Bald Hill in 1863, then reopened in 1873 to the new name – Lyndhurst.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Buneep = Bunyip </b></p><p>Buneep was surveyed and proclaimed in 1855 and was originally focused three miles north of the Junction of the Bunyip and Tarago Rivers, on Old Telegraph Road. When Koo Wee Rup swamp was drained, a more direct road – Old Sale Road was built and the use of Buneep was only retained for the homestead and the township took the name of the river. Some census results had Bunyip residents listed under Koo Wee Rup East. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC2b5Ag9YEtgLhbvqgzXrk33ON5e-nc2JbeRlcz-6OTPh4uYT0YIdO0pF0EpYoT6WWW82PJkzPyC0xD07AU6Oz7qTdfYYAj98X2atjgWuUBqZGQ1iHnqUC0_0f58gaCeDB7PpFTy-Duih5RvNDwvZYp8n9txcphN6s1lXpwHc62_vgnPtI5f9-8p3W/s287/download.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="175" data-original-width="287" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC2b5Ag9YEtgLhbvqgzXrk33ON5e-nc2JbeRlcz-6OTPh4uYT0YIdO0pF0EpYoT6WWW82PJkzPyC0xD07AU6Oz7qTdfYYAj98X2atjgWuUBqZGQ1iHnqUC0_0f58gaCeDB7PpFTy-Duih5RvNDwvZYp8n9txcphN6s1lXpwHc62_vgnPtI5f9-8p3W/w369-h225/download.jpg" width="369" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>Bunyip Railway Station circa 1910</i></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p><b>Centreville = Cranbourne South and Langwarrin</b></p><p>Centreville was a locality that was bounded by Cranbourne-Frankston, Pearcedale, Mackay and Centre Roads. It had a general store of the same name. The area is now mostly split between Cranbourne South and Langwarrin.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Crossover = Neerim</b></p><p>Originally named for the crossing of the low point in the watershed between the Tarago River and its tributaries. It had a Post Office, which closed in 1885, after which the town was known as Lancaster for the local publicans. When the town moved to join the new railway station, the name of Lancaster was objected to by nearby Red Hill resident and the name changed back to Crossover. When the railway closed in the 1950s, the name slowly died, and the Parish name came to the fore – Neerim.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Garner’s Paddock, Eumemmerring, Dandenong, Lyndhurst = Hampton Park</b></p><p>Originally the Hampton Park area was known locally as Garner’s Paddock, after the landowners – the Garners of Dandenong. Variously, local residents of the area identified as living in Eumemmerring, Dandenong or Lyndhurst. The area was sub-divided in 1917-18 and the resulting estate was named Hampton Park by the developer Edward Victor Jones.</p><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-imbH5GeA9K6UPEs8RyFoBRSSNlihSD6P1ZNCdjoq6Xg0aLTn07Xu6_E0Pxa1l8HmVD1YdcdLD4jMobuYZQMAUkA8ZwtS6ugaXjHrrJLv-zXHwIyeS3q-e7uMEpm1OjZdOeCUr9ZhAxmvkJZ6lOUqj4lLXpb0xgDs-j84Se47t_nP-Ua0vJrLB5Rg/s253/images.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="199" data-original-width="253" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-imbH5GeA9K6UPEs8RyFoBRSSNlihSD6P1ZNCdjoq6Xg0aLTn07Xu6_E0Pxa1l8HmVD1YdcdLD4jMobuYZQMAUkA8ZwtS6ugaXjHrrJLv-zXHwIyeS3q-e7uMEpm1OjZdOeCUr9ZhAxmvkJZ6lOUqj4lLXpb0xgDs-j84Se47t_nP-Ua0vJrLB5Rg/w353-h278/images.jpg" width="353" /></a></div><br /><b><br /></b><p></p><p><b>Inebriates Hill, Commins Hill = Guys Hill</b></p><p>Originally named for the home for male inebriates which was established in the area. It was then renamed Commins Hill for an early settler, before being named Guys Hill after a former storekeeper.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Irishtown = Emerald plus</b></p><p>This name was allegedly given to the area by the census collector at the Emerald diggings in 1871. The location of Irishtown was 2 miles north of current Emerald, near Menzies Creek. It references explorer McEvoy and his party describing the area as reminiscent of Ireland. Although not used popularly in the area, it was used by some officials in Melbourne, to distinguish it from Emerald itself.</p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Koo Wee Rup Central = Cora Lynn</b></p><p>Originally named Koo Wee Rup Central, the change to Cora Lynn was requested in 1907 by the Progress Association. The new Cora Lynn postal service was so named to avoid confusion with Koo Wee Rup. The name here comes from the Gorge outside Launceston of the same name. Originally it is Gaelic from coire meaning “cauldron or kettle” and linn “pool.”</p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Koo Wee Rup North, Bunyip South = Iona</b></p><p>Originally known as Bunyip South, in 1905 it officially became Iona. Interestingly, the Iona State School, was named Koo Wee Rup North when it opened in 1894, then Bunyip South and finally Iona in 1905. The school is geographically in Vervale. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_a2ZxlbMrkqqcBeePWpiw8IXiqvtK26XdIDa6zgaFOyHhsoXJXGjah2vn_DPV5BA8a8214gi3I-JfjrE8-bNxcLcDXy5rWmeq7kMYr7PmsUvG-XfpJ2e4tOcPn5Q6NKQbUkk0ZTNJCG5JUIlYLgy5rRYgYZLx5n8KLkAZ0g8Hs21RTfA2fD3VTyfU/s320/Rossiter%20rd.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="237" data-original-width="320" height="237" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_a2ZxlbMrkqqcBeePWpiw8IXiqvtK26XdIDa6zgaFOyHhsoXJXGjah2vn_DPV5BA8a8214gi3I-JfjrE8-bNxcLcDXy5rWmeq7kMYr7PmsUvG-XfpJ2e4tOcPn5Q6NKQbUkk0ZTNJCG5JUIlYLgy5rRYgYZLx5n8KLkAZ0g8Hs21RTfA2fD3VTyfU/s1600/Rossiter%20rd.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><b>Koo Wee Rup West and Peers’ Lane = Dalmore</b></p><p>The area was firstly known as Peers’ Lane after the Railway Station. The name Peels’ Lane came from local landowner Frederick Peers.’ It then changed to Koo Wee Rup West before it was renamed Dalmore in 1909 after Duncan McGregor’s estate.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Langwarrin = Pearcedale</b></p><p>When the railway station opened in the area in the late 1880s, it was named Langwarrin. East of the railway, the new town that developed was called New Langwarrin. A series of schools opened at various locations around the area, the final Langwarrin school being located in what is now Pearcedale. To differentiate the area from Langwarrin, the locals chose the name Pearcedale, which was adopted. The school changed its name to Pearcedale in 1908.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Lysterfield, Narree Worran and Narre Warren = Narre Warren North</b></p><p>Narree Worran sometimes encompassed the current areas of Tecoma, Clematis, Belgrave South, and Narre Warren East, plus the township itself at A’Beckett Road. It’s close location to Lysterfield results in some residents identifying with that location. With the coming of Gippsland railway, a new township developed adjacent to the new station and took the name of Narre Warren, leaving the old township to be redesignated Narre Warren North in 1925.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Mac’s Lane = Caldermeade</b></p><p>The Caldermeade area and the railway station, which opened in February 1890, were originally known as Mac’s Lane. Both names come from the McMillan family. Archibald McMillan established the Caldermeade property and Mac’ Lane was named for the family.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>McGregor’s Estate = Rythdale</b></p><p>When the school opened in 1924, it was known as McGregor’s Estate, named for the owner of the 4000 acre property Dalmore. The name changed in 1926 and the school closed in 1951. Rythdale is a made up name and as a result has no meaning apart from the area.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Narre Warren, The Flat = Lysterfield</b></p><p>Originally allocated as part of Narre Warren, the area was known by the descriptive name “The Flat”. It was renamed Lysterfield in the mid 1870s for William Lyster, an early settler who donated land for the school, which opened in 1874.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRXjnWeeE-EPVLV9TfdO_UDixHfs5uHxHpd1Rek52KGOuORofA1qzIyy7sugG-sIJOHzCHtZnvFo6AfI2r2m0JewtasqwQtHzuEntGckZ77C9FcIv2MnZQSKPxPijJM4vzvVUa8wRSn3iPCzvWVzSGhuMnCl-pnIpe7DhjB8Iyo8lpYPiYJH1QZ6li/s1000/Lysterfield%20PO.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="869" data-original-width="1000" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRXjnWeeE-EPVLV9TfdO_UDixHfs5uHxHpd1Rek52KGOuORofA1qzIyy7sugG-sIJOHzCHtZnvFo6AfI2r2m0JewtasqwQtHzuEntGckZ77C9FcIv2MnZQSKPxPijJM4vzvVUa8wRSn3iPCzvWVzSGhuMnCl-pnIpe7DhjB8Iyo8lpYPiYJH1QZ6li/s320/Lysterfield%20PO.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><b>Officer’s Wood Siding, Officedale = Officer</b></p><p>When the railway station opened, it was named Officer’s Wood Siding for the firewood that was cleared and transported to Melbourne from there. Officer School was initially called Officers Siding when it opened in 1886 and another local school was called Officedale – but it closed in 1951. </p><p><br /></p><p><b>Pakenham South = Cardinia</b></p><p>The first school in the area was known as Pakenham South and was in Bould Road from 1873 until 1906. When the next school opened in 1911, it was called Ballarto State School, but changed its name to Cardinia in 1912.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Sherwood = Devon Meadows</b></p><p>Benjamin Cox owned a large property in the area, which was renamed once he subdivided it. He named this subdivide it for the English county Devon. As part of this, Cox donated five acres of land to establish a local Mechanic’s Institute and School. </p><p><br /></p><p><b>Tobin Yallock = Lang Lang</b></p><p>The first store and hotel were built on the Tobin Yallock squatting run. Although the town was officially known as Lang Lang, the locals continued to call it Tobin Yallock. This change eventuated when the Carrington Railway Station opened in 1894 and most businesses moved to the new Lang Lang adjacent to the station. Lang Lang is either Aboriginal for “group of trees” or “stones or stony”.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicMDRG_F5ea0OrlboxWNzdmERTlPtdJA7dHREhFZ1YPn1gmrd8xQR_9rPEShv7O91zSb9gE8xz47J8IN9PRAHNLFcePVDpWbWXif548QfTT7RvmYaomyem5eDClNebneLMRp7YWE3F1zawB4TZwLlSn_KRKCHKjqKOCiX0qHPn__qku6rDe3jqrO_w/s1542/LL%20Main%20str.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="930" data-original-width="1542" height="193" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicMDRG_F5ea0OrlboxWNzdmERTlPtdJA7dHREhFZ1YPn1gmrd8xQR_9rPEShv7O91zSb9gE8xz47J8IN9PRAHNLFcePVDpWbWXif548QfTT7RvmYaomyem5eDClNebneLMRp7YWE3F1zawB4TZwLlSn_KRKCHKjqKOCiX0qHPn__qku6rDe3jqrO_w/s320/LL%20Main%20str.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><b>Yallock = Koo Wee Rup</b></p><p>The Railway station opened in 1890 with the name Yallock, as did the first State School. The Station was renamed Koo Wee Rup in 1892, but the school did not change until 1903. Koo-Wee-Rup comes from the Aboriginal for “blackfish swimming.”</p><p><br /></p><p><b>References:</b></p><p>“Lost & almost forgotten towns of colonial Victoria: a comprehensive analysis of Census results for Victoria 1841-1901” by Angus B Watson.

Shire was moving towards gaining City status and as part of the process, a new
name was being explored.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The first indication of the preferred name was
reported in various newspaper articles, including in the Berwick Journal 12 October
1992.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the article “Cranbourne to
become a city” it was announced that the Shire of Cranbourne was to become a
City on it’s 125<sup>th</sup> anniversary in 1993.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The name
chosen for the new City Council was the City of Western Port. Cranbourne Shire
Chief Executive Officer – Terry Vickerman - was reported as saying that the name
was chosen to “….reflect the geographic location of the municipality rather
than the present name which focused on one major town.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In that
same article, Mr Vickerman said “Council also seeks the views of surrounding
councils, particularly in relating to the choice of name because neighbouring
councils also have an affinity with Western Port.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Indeed some, like Cranbourne, have an actual frontage
to Western Port.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The support
of Berwick Council to the new name was reported in that same article, as Council having
“no objection" to the Shire of Cranbourne being named City of Western Port.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">But this was
no happily ever after.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In Berwick Journal
of 19 October 1992, in the article “Dandenong unhappy with name choice”. <br />
“Dandenong does not favour the name Western Port being used by Cranbourne Shire…….<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dandenong said that while it did not wish to interfere
with what was a local issue, the name Western Port was already used to describe
the region.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In that same
edition, in the article “Name change would be a ‘slap in the face’.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Springvale Councillor Graeme Duggan was
quoted as saying “The term Western Port refers to the whole region and I
fear a name change would mean it would refer only to Cranbourne in future.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cranbourne is a name residents should be
proud of as it indicates a municipality that has a long history.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Springvale Council was reported as having opposed
the change.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In the Cranbourne
Independent of 11<sup>th</sup> November 1992 article “It’s a no go for Western
Port”, it was reported that Flinders Council and the Shires of Bass and
Hastings also objected to the proposed name change.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hastings Council reported that they had “previously
considered changing its own name to Western Port” and that it felt “other
councils which bordered the Western Port foreshore would see the move as “un-neighbourly.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The protests
were taken on board by the Shire of Cranbourne, as the decision was made to
retain the Cranbourne name.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the
booklet released for the Proclamation of the City of Cranbourne, it was
reported that Cranbourne Shire did celebrate its 125<sup>th</sup> anniversary,
but instead of with a name change, it celebrate by having an official opening
of the Municipal Offices by the then Premier Jeff Kennett, on 24 February 1993.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgfvEfZsFj52eIreDslCg8mUxKczLelH6-KfC_fanTEAkUy63qhl4wzM3sgoegkb0vh58wLIM7XFeiPQA3aUBedpp77vgPFx9PmTc4VxZxjb64JZb0hIioZ0bBjSa1FfypUltMfeW8elrxU46jNFoSeD6-a7Ur3XUHNGoXOM_9GoNMOD2nJ-UbYv-lk=s280" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><i><img border="0" data-original-height="186" data-original-width="280" height="186" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgfvEfZsFj52eIreDslCg8mUxKczLelH6-KfC_fanTEAkUy63qhl4wzM3sgoegkb0vh58wLIM7XFeiPQA3aUBedpp77vgPFx9PmTc4VxZxjb64JZb0hIioZ0bBjSa1FfypUltMfeW8elrxU46jNFoSeD6-a7Ur3XUHNGoXOM_9GoNMOD2nJ-UbYv-lk" width="280" /></i></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>Postcard released to celebrate the Shire of Cranbourne's 150th anniversary</i></td></tr></tbody></table><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">Instead, the

Kiln Regional Park, just north of Gembrook, is one of the most popular park
areas in the region for its impressive array of walking trails, camp sites and
picnic areas. The park encompasses 3,500 hectares of land and has close to 50
walking tracks that spread over 100 kilometres <b>(1)</b>. The park sits on Wurundjeri
Woi Wurrung country. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
history of the park is deeply embedded in Gembrook’ s strong timber history.
For many years, the area was home to timber harvesting and milling alongside
tin, lead, and gold mining. Saw milling was the lifeblood of Gembrook from the
1880’s to the 1930’s, with over 50 mills running in the area during that time <b>(2)</b>.
This industry boomed until the Black Friday bushfires of 1939.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
park itself is named after the historic kiln situated at its heart. The name Kurth
comes from the creator of the kiln, Dr. Ernest Edgar Kurth. Dr. Kurth had a
Doctor of Chemistry from the University of Tasmania (awarded in 1934) and was
studying alternative sources of motor fuel, such as shale oil and wood, to help
make Australia less dependent on overseas fuel sources <b>(3)</b>. This was
particularly pertinent at the beginning of World War Two, with petrol rationing
introduced in October 1940 and motorists using petrol only allowed to drive
1300 kilometres a year by 1942 <b>(4)</b>. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjnLQl1dJOvjNqZE95tFFxnZbpiNTea8-vRcwaWT80M3OBw1_BEs7sOQEHCf2KcwiOJmKavnO1Ed7vvpgLhwSr7M-u-MESFiFuHftUY4vaUeoz6qhv8ZBMZXPcXPGu9-CjysQPcmheqZ-xEWhybeyzdLCjJ0bU6tplgqRI95caJmIzNE0QW29rVs21y=s480" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="315" data-original-width="480" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjnLQl1dJOvjNqZE95tFFxnZbpiNTea8-vRcwaWT80M3OBw1_BEs7sOQEHCf2KcwiOJmKavnO1Ed7vvpgLhwSr7M-u-MESFiFuHftUY4vaUeoz6qhv8ZBMZXPcXPGu9-CjysQPcmheqZ-xEWhybeyzdLCjJ0bU6tplgqRI95caJmIzNE0QW29rVs21y=w375-h246" width="375" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

Dr. Kurth had invented a revolutionary new design for a continuous charcoal
kiln; wood added at the top, charcoal extracted at the bottom, 24 hours a day,
7 days a week. The charcoal would be cooled for safe extraction by a series of
waterpipes. This design was approved by government and a full-scale kiln was
commissioned by the Forests Commission of Victoria <b>(5)</b> in 1941 and was
built on Tomahawk Creek <b>(6)</b>. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This
area was selected as the ideal site for the kiln because of its water and
timber availability, and the sloping land.

cooling systems were effective and used 103 cubic metres of timber per week.
The sloping land made it much easier to load the wood into the top of the kiln <b>(7)</b>.
On March 18, 1942, a trial of the kiln began. During this trial, the Kurth Kiln
produced three tons of charcoal every 24 hours, from 21 tons of wood. This
process was faster and less-labour intensive than any other methods used at the
time and the charcoal created in the kiln was of a consistent quality, free
from contamination <b>(8)</b>.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEikd_5Rb6zRBjvDCzCelb268_EUZx3bmRf6FLFTsVUaQ293tXr75S24McbT393cuNYhwMKMXa2B9DA0ziD8uz-jjz--vLVHjBxDbihbwbNDDVHHcfzDACfAfJpjYQnlzxL6UrlRokJz9k4syK4pZ30TibIwEUQ_EqV4RHI4T6uuigzcQvB7gJFBNe2F=s480" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="315" data-original-width="480" height="259" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEikd_5Rb6zRBjvDCzCelb268_EUZx3bmRf6FLFTsVUaQ293tXr75S24McbT393cuNYhwMKMXa2B9DA0ziD8uz-jjz--vLVHjBxDbihbwbNDDVHHcfzDACfAfJpjYQnlzxL6UrlRokJz9k4syK4pZ30TibIwEUQ_EqV4RHI4T6uuigzcQvB7gJFBNe2F=w395-h259" width="395" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

brought the easing of petrol rationing, and the Kurth Kiln was shut down <b>(9)</b>.
The site was unused for the remaining war years. Between the years of 1946 and
1963, the site was then used as a forestry camp for the Forests Commission of
Victoria, housing some 80-100 men in ‘masonite’ huts that had been purchased
from the army. These huts were approximately 15 feet (4.5 metres) by 12 feet
(3.6 metres). Several huts were then lost in a bush fire in 1963, during which
the site had become a firefighting base, and others were modified as forestry
operations were scaled down <b>(10)</b>. </span><p></p><p>

picnic area. At the time, 2 huts were dismantled and the materials used to
rebuild one of the existing huts. Today there are only 4 huts left. One of
these rebuilt huts was designated as a caretaker’s residence, which was
occupied by a Mr. Ron Thornton in 1985. He had been an avid visitor of the site
since the early 1980’s, and took up the unofficial caretaker position until his
death in 2000. The huts are now only used by students and volunteers performing
environmental project work in the park <b>(11)</b>. </span></p><p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"> </span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhKqPJJ0TWINjqtFpEBmdoLj0mFomginhBxPOWI-gqT12NrArGhzZgEYKOa5fiN89DDGsmQlQuNldDW3og0IQDEFRtCR-R3TodlaAEdyMImDT7w19rphG3X_aYg03YGAgNdv5zfyWP0RBPdMJdKqktlttNBGVGyQ8zApY6ofEh-fcmNQVI9gOTyMKDI=s480" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="312" data-original-width="480" height="261" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhKqPJJ0TWINjqtFpEBmdoLj0mFomginhBxPOWI-gqT12NrArGhzZgEYKOa5fiN89DDGsmQlQuNldDW3og0IQDEFRtCR-R3TodlaAEdyMImDT7w19rphG3X_aYg03YGAgNdv5zfyWP0RBPdMJdKqktlttNBGVGyQ8zApY6ofEh-fcmNQVI9gOTyMKDI=w402-h261" width="402" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

1993, the park was officially named Kurth Kiln Regional Park by the Land
Conversation Council <b>(12)</b>. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In
2002, Parks Victoria commissioned a heritage action plan for the site and in
2008 the Kurth Kiln and its historic buildings were added to the Victorian
Heritage Register; number H2012 <b>(13)</b>. The kiln is also included in the
Heritage Inventory of archaeological sites maintained by Heritage Victoria;
number H8022-0013 <b>(14)</b>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In
2008, a report was commissioned on the historical significance of the site. With
its heritage collection of 1300 catalogued objects from the original site,
including everything from nuts and bolts to machine tools and larger fittings,
it was determined that the sites significance lies in its ‘ability to
demonstrate the representative tools machinery and artefacts of the 1940s and
50s as related to both charcoal production and general forestry activities in
Victoria’ <b>(15)</b>. The author of this report, Gary Vines, remarked that the
collection of items at the site ‘demonstrate a way of life that has since
disappeared, and reflect on the slower pace and closer community ties of the
time and place’ (<b>16)</b>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">As
the title might suggest, the Kurth Kiln is one of a kind; it was the only kiln
of its type erected in Victoria <b>(17)</b>. The Kurth Kiln site gives a
glimpse into the experience of charcoal refining and forestry work during the
mid-to-late 20<sup>th</sup> century. It also demonstrates a great invention
that was a direct result of the experiences of World War Two in Australia. This
kiln likely would not have existed had it not been for the fear of fuel
shortages. Development of the site also meant it could then be used as a base
for forestry works and even firefighting efforts around Gembrook. The survival
of this site and its many uses over the years makes the Kurth Kiln heritage
area incredibly significant for the history of Gembrook. </span></p>

It stands alone in its tower in Hessel Road Harkaway, opposite the Harkaway Cemetery, and it still plays an important part in the local community<br /><br />“The bell was imported from Germany at a cost of 16 pounds and once erected was christened "Concordia" by Pastor Herlitz. The Lutheran community built the first school and church on the site as the government of the time would not provide either a church or a school…... The bell is still rung each New Year's Eve, and whenever there is a funeral it tolls when the approaching cemetery hearse is sighted, ceasing when the funeral cortege is inside the cemetery.” (Berwick Cemetery Trust - A short history of the Harkaway Cemetery. <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>https://bhct.net.au/harkaway-cemetery/</span>)<br /><br />The bell was initially erected near the church building in 1869, with the timbers for the original tower coming from the property of the late Wilhelm Aurisch, a prominent Harkaway land-owner. The tower was later demolished (long after the church had gone), in 1935 and a new bell tower erected on the same site, with new wood also coming from the Aurisch property. <i>(Early Days of Berwick and its surrounding districts, compiled by Norman E.

It was moved only a short distance to its current location and additional works have included adding parking spaces adjacent to the reserve in which it now stands. <br /><br />“The new tower, resembling the original, has a gable protecting the original bell and its brass bearings and timber cross bracing bolted between the main supports.” The plot on which the bell now stands, is surrounded by a hawthorne hedge, with additional Italian cypresses and elms. It is 0.093 hectares and the land and bell are now managed by the City of Casey( formerly City of Berwick).

To satisfy our curiosity, developed over many years of hearing the bell ring at midnight, my family and I went to the bell on New Year’s Eve and were delighted to find a small group of 40 people, including local residents and curious visitors. A small introduction was given, one of the key holders unlocked the bell and just before midnight, some test peals were done. We counted down to the stroke of midnight and then the bell was rung in earnest. We all then had the chance to ring the bell, before stopping to sing Auld Lang Syne together and share best wishes. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzwIZAkXApm-RBD1kV-ZcpKWopEK1ZWtG37X2f297Ejr-Pk1KvyiCiuMqvzIoLRAqEnu3y-naZHlkVYhUuIXA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Play to hear the bell ringing just after midnight 01.01.22 </i><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <br /></div>It was amazing to revisit that history in person, but also to be part of this ongoing tradition.<br /><br /><br /><p></p></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><br />Casey Cardinia Library Corporationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14205978452644821723noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452959632598071513.post-10758423658118920092021-12-23T14:30:00.001+11:002021-12-23T14:30:19.386+11:00Native Police Corps at Nerre Nerre Worran<p> A special post from Casey Cardinia Libraries staff member and local history enthusiast - Kate Davis.</p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">**Aboriginal

first proposed by Captain Alexander Maconochie in 1837, as a tool for
assimilation of Indigenous peoples and compensation for use of their land (1). Billibellary
Ngurungaeta, an elder of the Wurundjeri-willam peoples, was enlisted by the
European settlers to help recruit Indigenous men (2). These men were taught
English and military discipline, which the European settlers hoped would be
passed on to their families. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The Native Police Corps site was established

of the Ngaruk-willam people of the Boon wurrung language group. It is recorded
that the site was suggested by ‘some of the 15 Woi wurrung and Boon wurrung men
who enlisted initially,’ (4) who knew the area as Nerre Nerre Warren. The Corps
was commanded by Christiaan de Villiers at this time. Within 10 weeks though,
de Villiers had resigned.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhDDAFtb2Nbkr9VwK4zOpgzMEOgwd6dkIkRkYZc7bHpNBSFlrNRztU7YD_V5RMeXXyPEfPvB-pnF1abo4FmCqoH55-MpUzVItFk16NNbuEzLLdOYJxkNF01epUnHIkwUpKeh6m-n77jPtR5yseTyn8Fww1y4eDrWzSAKA-9ZSens8TCUtkR5TpWJJrd=s770" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="530" data-original-width="770" height="220" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhDDAFtb2Nbkr9VwK4zOpgzMEOgwd6dkIkRkYZc7bHpNBSFlrNRztU7YD_V5RMeXXyPEfPvB-pnF1abo4FmCqoH55-MpUzVItFk16NNbuEzLLdOYJxkNF01epUnHIkwUpKeh6m-n77jPtR5yseTyn8Fww1y4eDrWzSAKA-9ZSens8TCUtkR5TpWJJrd=s320" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px; text-align: left;">William Thomas, Assistant Aboriginal Protector. <br />Image from State Library.</span></td></tr></tbody></table> 3 years later, the site was given over to the
newly- created Aboriginal Protectorate, as their base for the Westernport area.

patrolling, locating individuals, checking passes, carrying messages and escorting
travellers. It can be assumed that these activities remained largely the same
over the entire existence of the Corps. From 1849 onwards, the Corps was commanded

guards at Pentridge prison in Coburg (8).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">According to an article published in The
Australian, in 1847 2 white women and 5 white men had been shipwrecked on the
coast in Gippsland. Upon reaching land, they had stayed with the ‘Paul <a name="_Int_NTl2NosC">Paul</a>’ tribe. A few days in, the ‘Parberry Long’ tribe
visited and took one of the women, spearing the white men, the other woman
remaining behind. The women who remained behind was killed shortly afterwards.
The kidnapped woman was taken by an Indigenous man named Patko, and then was
allegedly stolen by Bungelene and taken into the mountains (11).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Some years later, another article re-told of
the alleged kidnapping. According to this article, the woman had been perhaps
identified as a Miss McPherson. After the initial expedition which lasted 3
months, the government despatched a second party who returned not with the
woman, but with Bungelene, leader of the tribe they believed had taken the woman,
along with his 2 sons. Bungelene died while in custody at the site of the
Native Police Corps. Shortly after, one of his sons escaped to the bush, while
the other was removed to an Aboriginal station and raised by European settlers.
Bungelene was buried at the site (12).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"> From
these records, we can suppose that the knowledge of these events was never
fully understood and as such, the persecution of Bungelene and his sons perhaps
lacked evidence. It can also be assumed that Bungelene’s death was due to poor
treatment while in custody. Regardless of how these events unfolded, Bungelene
was ripped away from his country and culture, as were his 2 sons.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

The interview was with R. Beuhne. This was Frederick Richard Beuhne, known as Richard. <br /><br />Richard applied to be naturalised in August 1914 and his application papers tell us that he was born in Germany in January 1859 and arrived in Victoria in September 1880. His occupation was an Apiarist, and he had lived at Garfield for 15 years and then at Tooborac for 19 years. Other sources tell us that he was married to Annie Maxwell and they had a son Claud Ralph born in 1887 and a daughter Hilda Bertha Rhoda, born 1891 <span style="font-size: x-small;">(1).</span><br /><br />The first mention of Richard that I can find in the Shire of Berwick Rate books was in 1884 where he is listed as owning 226 acres, Crown Allotment 71, Parish of Bunyip. He sold the land around 1896. CA 71 fronted what is now called the Princes Highway and was on the west side of North Garfield Road.<div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJdjx2rLmsdZN-4RI-ebNjPqkYleOVwUcRz8lj6AL-ajJEtHKrTxj6HEFime4pZLkWxfyV0tdtnvhjhsreeLh2Dg4iljhdmvrodE66SninnXh9Z9Oyi37_XEU5oaSPcuyq9_mW-Cyt8HyN/s2048/Bunyip.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1868" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJdjx2rLmsdZN-4RI-ebNjPqkYleOVwUcRz8lj6AL-ajJEtHKrTxj6HEFime4pZLkWxfyV0tdtnvhjhsreeLh2Dg4iljhdmvrodE66SninnXh9Z9Oyi37_XEU5oaSPcuyq9_mW-Cyt8HyN/w365-h400/Bunyip.jpg" width="365" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Parish Plan of Bunyip - the township of Garfield on the railway line is bottom, centre.

R. Beuhne, secretary of the Victorian Apiarists' Association, which has just finished its annual conference in Melbourne, was found dead in his room at the Victoria Palace, Little Collins street, on Saturday morning. Apparently he had had a heart seizure. Mr. Beuhne, who was aged 70 years, was one of Australia's leading authorities on bees. He had been a member of the Victorian Apiarists' Association for 41 years. His term as secretary began about six years ago, on his retirement from the office of apiculturist to the Department of Agriculture. Mr. Beuhne's first association with the department was as consultant on apiculture. In that capacity he did most valuable work, and when the industry grew to one of importance he was appointed a full-time officer. His two text books on beekeeping and honey flora are much valued by apiarists in Australia and overseas. Mr. Beuhne had been editor of the "Australian Bee Journal'' since its inception. He was the Victorian Apiarists' Association delegate to the Chamber of Agriculture, and was the judge of honey at the Royal Show.

It is distant 40 miles from Melbourne and overlooks the Kooweerup Swamp, that extensive tract of reed beds and morass which is now being reclaimed by the State. The township of Garfield is still in the embryo stage, and as yet gives no promise of future greatness. Most of the land hereabouts was selected 10 or 12 years ago, and a farming population settled on it, who proceeded to turn it to profitable account in the usual way by ringing, clearing, cultivating and stock keeping.</div><div><br /></div><div>The advancement of the district has certainly not been assisted by the operations of the land syndicates, who during the "boom" purchased from the original selectors several thousand acres of land with a frontage to the railway line and in the vicinity of the railway station. This land is now lying idle and absolutely unproductive, while the owners are still holding on in the hope of settlement being attracted some day, thus giving them a chance to dispose of it at something approaching the prices paid for it to the original settlers. As the land was bought at prices varying from £18 to £25 per acres, this hope is not likely to be realised for some time to come. </div><div><br /></div><div>The soil for the most part cannot be called rich, except narrow strips in some of the with a growth of heath and coarse sedgy grasses. The timber is not of good character, and its principal use hitherto has been for firewood, of which large quantities used to be sent to Melbourne; but since the unemployed have been engaged at the work of wood cutting most of the residents of the district have found out that it does not pay to enter into competition with them, consequently sending firewood to Melbourne from Garfield has been practically abandoned.</div><div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYJQNdmHhyphenhyphen54aNiDgeYMST6jtHTP4jIkcLDBI56lSy6yg49DZTYuroFIdLzop6zbsmIAQMRBmnpQS439mdBJyDtKaAu_r8Qz5rUoQX4tGug8sVBPvlXOVpAGK1PkAaP_vYPa5Ou8usSQlD/s1783/0001+%25282%2529+-+Copy+-+Copy.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="756" data-original-width="1783" height="170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYJQNdmHhyphenhyphen54aNiDgeYMST6jtHTP4jIkcLDBI56lSy6yg49DZTYuroFIdLzop6zbsmIAQMRBmnpQS439mdBJyDtKaAu_r8Qz5rUoQX4tGug8sVBPvlXOVpAGK1PkAaP_vYPa5Ou8usSQlD/w400-h170/0001+%25282%2529+-+Copy+-+Copy.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Richard Beuhne's farm. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>The Leader</i>, December 9, 1893 - see Footnote 5</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>The main Gippsland road runs through the district and the principal stream is the Cannibal Creek, a tributary of the Bunyip River. Several of the farms some distance back from the station are fairly well improved, and in a couple of instances beekeeping engages a good deal of attention. Nowadays, when so many people are anxious to get on to the land and engage in some occupation that will prove profitable, beekeeping is an industry which should receive more attention than has hitherto been given it.</div><div><br /></div><div>It must, however, be admitted that only comparatively few persons are fitted by nature for the occupation, but amongst those who have made it a success is Mr. R. Beuhne, whose farm is situated about 1½ mile from the Garfield station and on the Gippsland-road. Mr. Beuhne selected land here about 11 years ago, and is now the holder of 220 acres. About 30 acres have been thoroughly cleared, a comfortable house erected, an orchard established and other improvements, carried out, but attention is mainly devoted to beekeeping. This is generally considered one of the small things of a farm, but Mr. Beuhne has found it profitable enough to justify him in almost exclusively depending on it; indeed, he is of opinion that if carried on on anything like an extensive scale it does not go well with any industry except poultry keeping, as during the busy season all other work must be neglected in order to attend to the bees.</div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHxodxJZtPRB4a0C7AVmZ7uZ_tIj4XpTyW3B-o4uBucMWnISTX1aFuSnyEUXDyVvbiAxlOLdxUUwesLs7kVKQwxulg7l-4CyxaxoP32F1BSd_38RRri0tsPOvzF02N-4Q5eNicoreee4Jv/s877/course.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="144" data-original-width="877" height="66" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHxodxJZtPRB4a0C7AVmZ7uZ_tIj4XpTyW3B-o4uBucMWnISTX1aFuSnyEUXDyVvbiAxlOLdxUUwesLs7kVKQwxulg7l-4CyxaxoP32F1BSd_38RRri0tsPOvzF02N-4Q5eNicoreee4Jv/w400-h66/course.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Richard Bruhne offers lessons in bee keeping.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>The Age</i>, September 16, 1893 <a href="https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/197182658">https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/197182658</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>From a small beginning Mr. Beuhne gradually increased the number of his colonies until now he has 136 to control, and the many duties connected with them keeps him fully employed. Indeed, the work in connection with so many hives, when pursued scientifically, is almost endless, but at the same time it is light and highly interesting to any one who really cares for the occupation. If the beekeeper is not really interested in the pursuit and does not follow it for love of the work he will never make it a success, and it is better to direct his attention to some other business. If, on the other hand, attention to all the details of the industry is a pleasure, beekeeping becomes a profitable undertaking in any district that is adapted for the pursuit. </div><div><br /></div><div>Some localities are much better adapted for beekeeping than others on account of the climate, the greater profusion of honey producing trees, shrubs and flowers. The Garfield district is not specially suitable, the varieties of eucalypts with which it is timbered being principally those known as stringy bark and peppermint, whereas the box and white gum blossoms secrete most honey, while the flavor of the article is also superior. In the gullies and swampy places also a good deal of ti-tree grows, from the blossoms of which honey of a peculiar character is obtained. It possesses a distinct flavor of its own, and, strange to say, cannot be extracted from the comb by the centrifugal extractor. The closeness with which it adheres to the sides of the cells seems to indicate that it partakes somewhat of the character of gum, though persons who are in the habit of using it declare that they prefer it to any other kind of honey. The taste for it, however, requires to be educated, and its general popularity is never likely to rival that of honey obtained from box or white gum blossom. On account of its non-extracting peculiarity small section frames have to be used in the hives during the period, when the ti-tree is in bloom, while at other times, the ordinary large frames are placed in the boxes.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjctgfONnG67pLM-DHlsJOnNQjJQ_vVMasgNX6f3JJ6taqb0fH1dYfz71GyfgADJWosE9NiF3uslB4UN7n3XhAFVEC1KFNb1EdYYt9AnlQXkwwTQnnsY_w2Riwk6rJm-zHHWGEW73yVJyof/s1512/0001+%25282%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="741" data-original-width="1512" height="196" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjctgfONnG67pLM-DHlsJOnNQjJQ_vVMasgNX6f3JJ6taqb0fH1dYfz71GyfgADJWosE9NiF3uslB4UN7n3XhAFVEC1KFNb1EdYYt9AnlQXkwwTQnnsY_w2Riwk6rJm-zHHWGEW73yVJyof/w400-h196/0001+%25282%2529.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Richard Beuhne working with his bees.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>The Leader</i><span>, December 9, 1893 - see Footnote 5</span></span></div><div><br /></div><div>Mr. Beuhne uses hives of the Langstroth principle, but the boxes are two inches shorter than the regulation size. He has made them all himself, being an amateur carpenter of no mean skill, and most of the appliances used in their manufacture have also been supplied by his ingenuity. A small circular saw, made out of a piece of a broken hand saw, has been set in a neat frame and worked by a treadle. With this the laths used in the frames of the hives are quickly sawn, and an appliance for boring holes, also worked by foot power, has been provided. Each hive is made exactly the same size so that the parts are interchangeable and he is thus able to work amongst the bees with that confidence which is absolutely necessary if success id to achieved in dealing with these remarkable insects.</div><div><br /></div><div>In dealing with his bees, Mr. Beuhne is general follows out the practice adopted by the majority of skilled apiarians in attending to the thousand and one particulars involved in beekeeping, and which could not be fully described in anything short of the limits of a book; but he is also experimenting, and there is a possibility of his experiments proving successful, and having an important bearing upon the future of the industry. For instance, he thinks there is a possibility of breeding out the swarming impulse, which causes so much trouble during the season. He points out that it is just as natural for hens to sit as for bees to swarm, yet the desire to hatch has been almost entirely overcome, by breeders in connection with certain breeds of fowls. </div><div><br /></div><div>Of course bees are more difficult to control, but by selection and management much may be done. He would select queens, from stock that experience had shown displayed comparatively, little disposition to swarm, and by mating her very late in the season a beginning leading to the desired end would be made. In order to secure the fertilisation, advantage would be taken of a favorable day when the drone bees were likely to fly, and by giving them a little stimulating feed liberating the queen shortly afterwards the desired end would be accomplished.</div><div><br /></div><div>A careful attention to the laws of selection having the definite object in view of producing non-swarming bees, and following out the lines indicated, would he thinks, eventually result in the apiarian being able to control the impulse as the progeny of queens fertilised late in the season evince less disposition to swarm than those mated early. Mr. Beuhne has at various times grown patches of buck wheat as pasture for the bees, but, as a rule, the insects have to depend for stores on what nature provides. Wattles and acacias, as well as different kinds of heaths, blossom well in the district, but, unfortunately, the flowering season is too early to be of much benefit to the bees, and the blossoms in most instances have disappeared by the time they are most wanted. Just at present the prickly mimosa and pink and white heaths are in full bloom, but the bees are not to be tempted out during the present unsettled weather, and consequently the stores of honey which the flowers contain cannot be utilised.</div><div><br /></div><div>Mr. Beuhne is now engaged in the endeavor to solve the problem of how to prevent the crystallisation of honey during the winter months. It is well known that the best and purest honey crystallises in cold weather, and this has a prejudicial effect upon its sale, more particularly if it has been put up in glass jars. It frequently happens that the crystallisation is only partial, and while one portion of the contents of a jar assumes the consistency of lard, the remainder is liquid. This causes many persons to think that the honey has been adulterated, and accordingly they decline to buy. The honey does not deteriorate in quality by becoming crystallised; indeed, not a few who know the difference consider that it is improved thereby; but its sale to the general public is undoubtedly affected, hence the necessity for preventing crystallisation if possible. Mr. Beuhne, by a process which he has invented, but which is yet a secret, believes that he can not only prevent any honey from crystallising, but can also treat that which has already become crystallised in such a way that it will ever afterwards remain liquid. If the process, after being thoroughly tested, is the success which he claims, it will have the effect of increasing the local sales of honey, and will be of immense importance if an export trade is established on anything like an extensive scale, as no doubt it will be some day. A press which he has constructed for obtaining wax is very simple and useful, and with it he can obtain just as good wax from old black combs as from now unstained comb.</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhRegbhJJgPrBYKtq__cPFdw92YOOO-IRuTdnXjkAWjI7HNc73tp3PPIqOMYrghTTMWEI7R0eZROmpGB1szo_7KM2QGvVzZw6bW51ddZDVSIKGnMDFQNHjt8DbdPhKHnGwtk7czXnIgmP5/s1180/0001+%25282%2529+-+Copy.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1180" data-original-width="742" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhRegbhJJgPrBYKtq__cPFdw92YOOO-IRuTdnXjkAWjI7HNc73tp3PPIqOMYrghTTMWEI7R0eZROmpGB1szo_7KM2QGvVzZw6bW51ddZDVSIKGnMDFQNHjt8DbdPhKHnGwtk7czXnIgmP5/w251-h400/0001+%25282%2529+-+Copy.jpg" width="251" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Richard Beuhne working with his bees.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>The Leader</i><span>, December 9, 1893 - see Footnote 5</span></span></div></div><br /> With regard to the profits to be derived from beekeeping, it must be remembered that this district is not a good one for bees, consequently results obtained here are likely to be greatly exceeded in other and more suitable localities. Last year, which was a bad one, Mr. Beuhne obtained only an average of 30 lb. of honey from each hive; the previous season he obtained over 50 lb., and his best record was 80 lb per hive. There is certainly nothing startling in these returns, but, taking one year with another, say 60 lb. of honey, worth at least 4½d. per lb., can be got from each hive, and this is certainly not an excessive estimate, then the gross return per hive amounts to £1.<br /><br />Mr. Beuhne would advise all who think of going in for bee culture to begin on a small scale and gradually work up. Although much information may be gleaned from books, practical experience must be gained, and this will be less costly when pursued in connection with a few hives than when the care of a large number is attempted by one who has had no previous knowledge of the business. If possibly an opportunity should be sought of getting employment with a practical aparian for at least 12 months, and thus gain the benefit of his experience. Even after such an opportunity to gain knowledge it is necessary to make haste slowly, as there is always something to learn or some unexpected difficulty to overcome. Perseverance, however, will eventually be crowned with success, and the industry offers a means of making a fair livelihood to those who have a taste for beekeeping; and if this industry is combined with poultry farming, the owner of a small block of land ought to make not only a good living, but to ultimately realise a handsome competence.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Trove list</b><div>I have created a short list of newspaper articles connected to Frederick Richard Beuhne, his time at Garfield and his other activities.

Other orchards soon followed as Narre Warren was considered to be a very suitable area for orchards. <i>The Australasian</i> in April 1919 reported on the advantages of fruit growing in the area - <br /><br /><i>The orchards and areas available for planting are within comparatively short distance from the railway station, where a central packing shed is in operation; the district is but 22 miles from Melbourne; the climate and soil are well suited for apple and pear culture, and, in addition, the district is settled by progressive fruit growers, who have an intimate knowledge of most matters affecting fruit production. When a district is within comparatively easy reach of the metropolis it has an enhanced value that, while difficult to estimate on an acreage basis, is nevertheless considerable.</i><br /><div><br /></div><div><i>In the first case it means that the cost of delivering produce on the market, an ever-recurring expenditure, is far less than that incurred by the up-country grower, and this same question of freight expenditure applies to everything that is purchased for use on the orchard; implements, spraying materials, manures, wrapping paper, cases, and numerous other items that must be obtained from the city, and this also applies to the initial costs connected with settlement. Then, too growers may, if they so choose, put their fruit on rail overnight, and travel to Melbourne by the evening train to sell their own produce. Several hundred acres now planted with fruit trees are within three miles of the local station and packing shed, served by a good level road, and this means easy haulage and expeditious handling of the crop during the height of the season. The co-operative fruit packing shed has been in operation over three seasons, and already there has been some talk of establishing cool stores so that the fruit may be held over for late season marketing</i> <span style="font-size: x-small;">(2)</span>.</div><div><br /></div><div>The article also had profiles on local fruit growers including James Bailey, President of the Victorian Fruit Growers' Association (and son of William Bailey).

In the past many of the growers have been obliged to part with the bulk of their crops at prices which purchasers considered would leave them a margin of profit after paying storage expenses. With the local stores in operation there is the prospect that much of the fruit will return a more lucrative price to those who hold it until late in the season</i> <span style="font-size: x-small;">(10).</span></div><div><br /></div><div>The Cool Store was designed to hold 10,000 cases of apples, but provision had been made to add two extra chambers if required.

In addition, 8000 cases were sold on the Melbourne and inter-State markets, and it is expected that a further 23,000 cases will be held in cool storage for the late markets. The quantity of fruit exported constitutes a record for the district. Last year two new cool stores were erected by individual orchardists, making four stores for the district</i> <span style="font-size: x-small;">(12).</span></div><div><br /></div><div>One of these two Cool Stores was erected by Robert Haysey, which held 80,000 cases <span style="font-size: x-small;">(13)</span>. An unusual cool room was built in 1932 by Arthur Robinson, on his <i>Hillsley</i> property, at Narre Warren North. The <i>Dandenong Journal</i> reported on the construction - <i>a store had been built of bluestone boulders, some of which weigh over one ton; it was cut into the side of the hill, and the walls are built of the huge stones, which were after wards cemented.

It gives all the goods carrying facilities of the usual type, but the tray can be converted to a lorry type in <br />a few seconds, or can be folded so that the vehicle is indistinguishable from an ordinary private coupe car. Last week Mr. A. C. Nutting, the proprietor of general stores at Garfield and Catani, who was largely responsible for the design, demonstrated a vehicle built to his specifications to General Motors-Holden's Ltd., who have expressed considerable interest in it. </i><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>Mr. Nutting has used the vehicle for some time in his business, and claims that it has several advantages over the usual coupe utility. For example, it can protect bulky loads from the weather; it can be adjusted to take long articles which extend over the rear of the vehicle; and when folded down does not possess the appearance of a commercial vehicle, and, consequently, does not look out of place for social use.<br /><br />The construction is simple. The boot cover, which is substantially built, is hinged in two places, so that when unfolded half of it forms an extension to the floor of the boot and the other half forms the rear flap of the goods tray. On this rear flap the two side pieces are hinged. Mr. Nutting's car is a Ford Ten, and the floor space for goods obtained with his patented coachwork is about 5ft. 3in. by 4ft. It is believed that a rather similar type of coachwork has been developed with considerable success in America </i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(1).</span></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu8-MAL1Vxsd1eDpSmuv7Al4KQEUVx0jzL1ZxIlkCcdVAuI0_eFlHcjRJdqCS3cI3U5coB3jxiZbIpvURIlpw3DdW7au8VI9uxPp4EeXt0FmT3WviVZYKESYhuXpt2uJ-YPcA_os07Fumt/s685/Ute.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="685" data-original-width="340" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu8-MAL1Vxsd1eDpSmuv7Al4KQEUVx0jzL1ZxIlkCcdVAuI0_eFlHcjRJdqCS3cI3U5coB3jxiZbIpvURIlpw3DdW7au8VI9uxPp4EeXt0FmT3WviVZYKESYhuXpt2uJ-YPcA_os07Fumt/w199-h400/Ute.JPG" width="199" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is the image which accompanied the article.

There are various versions on the Internet as to how and why the Ford utility was invented - the story goes that in 1932 or 1933 a 'farmers wife' from Gippsland wrote to Ford Australia asking if they could produce a vehicle which could be used for 'going to church on Sunday and to take the pigs to market on Monday'. I have read somewhere that the farmer's wife was actually from Bunyip. The Managing Director of Ford, Hubert French, passed the letter onto Louis Thornet Bandt of the design team and the first Ford coupe utility was built at Ford's Geelong Plant in 1934 <span style="font-size: x-small;">(2). </span>The Ford Utility thus predates Mr Nutting's 'invention' by two years, but the benefit of his design was that goods could be carried in the standard boot, or the space could be extended to take longer items and a cover could also be fitted for protection from rain. </div><div><br /></div><div>Who was Mr Nutting? Arthur Clive Nutting was born in Carlton on February 19, 1896 to George and Emilie (nee Sears) Nutting. George was a tinsmith and the family lived at 70 McIlwraith Street in North Carlton <span style="font-size: x-small;">(3)</span>. On April 27, 1916 Arthur enlisted in the A.I.F. His occupation was listed as a Clerk and he was 20 years old. Arthur embarked on May 20 and after serving overseas he Returned to Australia July 23, 1919. Arthur also served in the Volunteer Defence Corps in the Second World War <span style="font-size: x-small;">(4)</span>. In April 1920, Arthur was admitted as a Licentiate of the Incorporated Institute of Accountants <span style="font-size: x-small;">(5).</span> During the early 1920s he was employed in the Commonwealth Public Service War Service Home Commission until his resignation in November 1922 <span style="font-size: x-small;">(6).</span></div><div><br /></div><div>In 1923, Arthur married Connie Eunice Grace Smith, the daughter Andrew and Emily (nee Wildman) Smith. They had three children that I can trace - Donald George, Robert Arthur and Heather Elizabeth <span style="font-size: x-small;">(7). </span>The family lived at 292 Riversdale Road in Auburn until 1926 when they moved to Catani to operate the General Store <span style="font-size: x-small;">(8). </span>The store had been established by Robert Bush in 1922 <span style="font-size: x-small;">(9)</span> in the newly created town on the <a href="http://caseycardinialinkstoourpast.blogspot.com/2008/05/railways-strezelecki-line.html">Koo Wee Rup to Strzelecki Railway line</a>. In November 1927, Arthur successfully applied to the Cranbourne Shire to install a petrol pump in front of the shop <span style="font-size: x-small;">(10).</span> He also applied at the same time to the Licensing Court for a Spirit's Merchant's and Grocer's Licence<span style="font-size: x-small;"> (11)</span>. Whilst living at Catani the family took part in the social life of the community - in February 1927 Arthur was the Secretary of the Yannathan and Catani Picnic Race Club and the next year he was the President of the Catani Tennis Club <span style="font-size: x-small;">(12)</span>.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9gjmMhyphenhyphenBGYjRnZU44xmbHdKhTMsP0AJ3rMub7qaoMR85TrLngQFiLQOjZmc_BgWiKBdlNMpAFgd3xvN5m29CWm-5d-BFGTTvYYxPVW2kRv_uNuq6HM1ONwhIAouuLYaI9cEgptsubp9Jt/s1746/img926.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1060" data-original-width="1746" height="243" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9gjmMhyphenhyphenBGYjRnZU44xmbHdKhTMsP0AJ3rMub7qaoMR85TrLngQFiLQOjZmc_BgWiKBdlNMpAFgd3xvN5m29CWm-5d-BFGTTvYYxPVW2kRv_uNuq6HM1ONwhIAouuLYaI9cEgptsubp9Jt/w400-h243/img926.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Catani State School 1931.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Arthur and Connie's son, Don, is fourth from left in the front row <span style="font-size: x-small;">(13)</span>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Image: Koo Wee Rup Swamp Historical Society. </span></div><div><br /></div><div>In January 1929, the family had a narrow escape from a fire, an unusual fire, except if you are living in a town on a reclaimed Swamp, like Catani was - this is the report from The Age - <i> The store of Mr. Nutting, of Catani, narrowly escaped destruction by fire yesterday. The peat near the store had been burning for some days, and yesterday's high wind caused the fire to spread rapidly. Owing to the peat burning some distance under the surface, a trench had to be dug on three sides of the buildings. A large number of neighboring farmers gave valuable assistance in saving the premises. The railway buildings were also threatened at one stage </i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(14).</span></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div>In 1930, the Nuttings, who had been renting the Catani store from Robert Bush, purchased a store in Garfield, however he still continued to operate the Catani store until 1936, as far as I can tell from the Cranbourne Shire Rate books. They moved to Garfield around 1932 <span style="font-size: x-small;">(15)</span>.</div><div><br /></div><div>Arthur was a man who saw a future in motor cars, because in 1934 he applied to the Berwick Shire to have a petrol pump installed in front of his store and this was granted <span style="font-size: x-small;">(16).</span> Once again, the family involved themselves with the community - in 1933 Arthur was elected as President of the Garfield Golf Club and he was later the Secretary; in 1935 Connie was the Secretary of the newly formed Baby Health Care Centre in Garfield and she was also the Vice President of the Mothers Club<span style="font-size: x-small;"> (17). </span></div><div><br /></div><div>It was in October 1936 when Arthur <i>demonstrated a vehicle built to his specifications to General Motors-Holden's Ltd. </i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(18)</span><i> </i>The Nuttings, as well as operating the store at Garfield also had a farm as there are a numerous references of sales of his merino sheep in the Newmarket sales reports <span style="font-size: x-small;">(19)</span>.

Whilst there he painted on the stable door a stockman which was a very fine piece of work. What became of it is not known. Mr Paterson was the brother of Mrs Geordie Brown, of the Berwick Border Store. Her son represented Australia as a hurdler in the Olympic Games. After her husband's death Mrs Brown married James Gibb, M.H.R</i>.<span style="font-size: x-small;"> (2)</span>.<div><br /></div><div>That was interesting, because it is said<span style="font-size: x-small;"> (3) </span>that Arthur Streeton (1867-1943) painted a portrait of the Brown family in their house, <i>Inveresk</i>, at Berwick, but there didn't seem to be any evidence that this family portrait existed, so when I found the reference above about the link between the Brown family and the artist John Ford Paterson (1951-1912), I thought I would investigate further.<br /><br />John Ford Paterson's <i>Australian Dictionary of Biography</i> entry by Marjorie Tipping, says, in part, <i>as a landscape painter he was not as successful as others in the Heidelberg group. His work was more romantic in mood and his sense of colour, draftsmanship and mystical feeling for the bush placed him among the important Australian artists of the nineteenth century. With such artists as Conder and Roberts he broke away from the Victorian Academy of Art to found the Australian Art Association. In 1888 these organizations amalgamated as the Victorian Artists' Society; Paterson was its president in 1902</i> <span style="font-size: x-small;">(4)</span>. The two other men mentioned are Charles Conder (1868-1909) and Tom Roberts (1856-1931).</div><div><br />Clearly, Paterson was an artist of some note, and he knew Arthur Streeton. In July 1888, the fact that they were both elected to the Victorian Artists' Society Council <span style="font-size: x-small;">(5)</span> and they exhibited together in May 1892 <span style="font-size: x-small;">(6)</span>, are examples of some of their connections. This connection strengthened the likelihood in my mind that Arthur Streeton may have painted a portrait of the Brown family at <i>Inveresk.</i></div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgENy3PPWds3cdNGZ0mAcxiYRtI17AWyLlfh_RdLshCFfWNoxQ9uDyrmJe6SNeNi1xDDmAUcZsywOMbOMIPGMWfjo4zIqOD_h9QY7NshhX-MAjvDRRUIkD2DLMc5XIWIrSRtMXsnrFXwu2-/s2048/img922.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1227" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgENy3PPWds3cdNGZ0mAcxiYRtI17AWyLlfh_RdLshCFfWNoxQ9uDyrmJe6SNeNi1xDDmAUcZsywOMbOMIPGMWfjo4zIqOD_h9QY7NshhX-MAjvDRRUIkD2DLMc5XIWIrSRtMXsnrFXwu2-/w400-h240/img922.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Inveresk, Berwick, the residence of George Brown, designed </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">by Little and Beasley.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Image originally in <i>Building, Engineer and Mining Journal</i>, March 28, 1891 and republished in <i>Berwick Nostalgia: a pictorial history of Berrick</i> (Berwick Pakenham Historical Society, 2001)</span></div><br /></div><div><i>Inveresk</i> was built by George Brown, a draper, of Berwick in 1891 <span style="font-size: x-small;">(7)</span>.

Donald had established the Border Hotel, also called the Berwick Inn, in High Street Berwick in 1857. Donald and Susan married in 1859 and George and Margaret married in 1864. George and Margaret had one son, George in 1864, who died in tragic circumstances on May 31, 1887 when he was hit by a train.

Her son, Thomas Louis Buvelot Esson (1878-1943) was the playwright, poet and Socialist <span style="font-size: x-small;">(11).</span> Mary Jane had two other brothers in Melbourne, apart from John Ford Paterson; her brother Hugh was also an artist and the father of artists Esther Paterson (1892-1971) and Betty Paterson (1895-1970). Another brother Charles was a decorator whose firm, Paterson Bros <i>later monopolized the decoration of wealthy homes and such public buildings as Government House, Melbourne Town Hall, the Parliamentary Library and the Prahran Public Library</i> <span style="font-size: x-small;">(12)</span>.</div><div><br /></div><div>George and Mary Jane had the one son, Francis Paterson Brown on November 13, 1887 <span style="font-size: x-small;">(13)</span>. Louis Esson's entry in the <i>Australian Dictionary of Biography</i> said that Francis was his mother's favourite and that Louis considered his mother to be <i>flighty and economically irresponsible</i> <span style="font-size: x-small;">(14)</span>. In 1891, George and Mary Jane built, as we said, <i>Inveresk </i>at 93 High Street, Berwick.<i> </i> It was made of local Berwick bricks, roofed in slate imported from Wales and designed by architects were Little and Beasley, who had who also designed the Berwick Grammar School at 76 Brisbane Street <span style="font-size: x-small;">(15). </span> John Little and Hillson Beasley had formed a partnership in January 1891 <span style="font-size: x-small;">(16)</span>. John Little was later in partnership with John Grainger, the Architect and Civil Engineer, a man overshadowed in life by his famous son, Percy Grainger <span style="font-size: x-small;">(17)</span>. Hillson Beasley's previous work included the East St Kilda Congregationalist Church on the corner of Hotham and Inkerman Streets and in 1896 he moved to Western Australia where he became the Chief Architect of the Public Works Department <span style="font-size: x-small;">(18)</span>. </div><div><br /></div><div>It was at <i>Inveresk</i> that Arthur Streeton was said to have painted the portrait. This has been an on-going mystery for myself and others for many years. In 2013, a colleague of mine, Alice Woolven, asked what I knew of this portrait and she then emailed Dr Anna Gray at the National Gallery of Australia who kindly contacted Oliver Streeton, the grandson of Sir Arthur Streeton and this was his response.<br /><br /><i>Dr Anna Gray has forwarded on to me your e-mail to her of 8th April. I have no knowledge of a print by Arthur Streeton of “Inveresk”, Berwick, but a portrait of a child, Frank P. Brown '91 has been offered for auction three times, according to the Australian Art Sales Digest record: Joels 22/11/1995 - lot 108 - unsold; Joels 27/11/1996 - lot 111 - unsold; Joels 3/8/1999 - lot 246 - unsold.<br /><br />The date '91 is possibly a mis-reading of the date inscribed on the painting because there is mention of a visit to Berwick in two letters of Arthur Streeton; to Tom Roberts, June 1892, “... - I’m off this week to Berwick to work at the two £10 commissions I have......” ; to Tom Roberts, 29th June 1892, Berwick Sunday Evening; see the text of these letters in Letters from Smike; the letters of Arthur Streeton 1890 - 1943, edited by Ann Galbally and Anne Gray, Oxford University Press, Australia, 1989 - pp 51 - 54.<br /><br />There is mention of a possible portrait of Mrs Brown, but I do not know if one exists. When I find a better image of the portrait of young Frank P. Brown, I will try to examine the date to determine what has actually been inscribed. As the painting appears to have remained unsold, I suppose there is a possibility that it can be tracked down from Joels vendor records.<br /><br />There are two early watercolours by Arthur Streeton, Berwick (Joels, 13/4/1988 - lot 1219 and Joels, 20/4/1993 - lot 150) and Haystacks at Berwick (Joels, 8/11/1978 - lot 521 and Joels, 27/5/1981- lot 509). Both watercolours are undated but appear to me to be in an mid-1880s style. So far I have not come across any reference that would explain Streeton’s visit to Berwick at this time.

Frank served in the A.I. F during World War One. He was the boxing and athletic editor of the <i>Sporting Globe</i>, when he died at only 41 years of age in November 26, 1928.

The Pakenham Consolidated School was officially opened on May 29, 1951 with 258 pupils, on the site of the Pakenham State School, No.1359, in Main Street. The original Pakenham School had opened on a site near the Toomuc Creek in January 1875 and it moved to the Main Street site in 1891. I went to Pakenham Consolidated School on the Grenda's school bus, Bus 7, from Vervale from 1964 until 1970. My two sisters and my brother also went there. You can read more about the formation of the school, <a href="https://caseycardinialinkstoourpast.blogspot.com/2007/12/pakenham-consolidated-school.html">here</a>.<br /><br />When the school was established, new class rooms were constructed, however some of the school buildings were also transferred and used at the school and some of these buildings are shown here. This post also has photos of the opening of the school and exterior shots. The PROV also has many photos of the construction phase, which I have not included here, but you can see them on their website, <a href="http://www.prov.vic.gov.au">www.prov.vic.gov.au</a>, Part 2 has photographs of students in class rooms and other interior shots and some school bus photographs, see <a href="https://caseycardinialinkstoourpast.blogspot.com/2021/08/pakenham-consolidated-school_16.html">here</a>. The photos were taken in the 1950s and early 1960s.<div> <p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Old School Buildings</span></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The Pakenham Consolidated School was officially opened on May 29th, 1951 with 258 pupils, on the site of the Pakenham State School, No.1359, in Main Street. The original Pakenham School had opened on a site near the Toomuc Creek in January 1875 and it moved to the Main Street site in 1891. I went to Pakenham Consolidated School on the Grenda's school bus, Bus 7, from Vervale from 1964 until 1970. My two sisters and my brother also went there. We spent at least two hours a day on the school bus, we must have been the most easterly students who attended Pakenham Consolidated School. You can read more about the formation of the school, <a href="https://caseycardinialinkstoourpast.blogspot.com/2007/12/pakenham-consolidated-school.html">here</a>.<br /><br />These photos show students in class rooms, other interior shots and school bus photographs.

The PROV also have many other photos of the construction phase - <a href="http://www.prov.vic.gov.au">www.prov.vic.gov.au</a>, which I have not included here.

William was born in Harrow in England, the son of a farmer <span style="font-size: x-small;">(1)</span>. William arrived in Victoria in 1861 f<i>or the purpose of learning the nursery and horticultural business from his uncle, who owned the well-known Coles' Nursery at Hawthorn. For ten years Bailey worked for his uncle and then bought what was the first plant nursery in Malvern on land adjoining Elizabeth Street </i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(2).</span><i> </i>The plant nursery was called Malvern Nursery, and it was on the aforementioned Elizabeth Street and Toorak Road.</div><div><br /></div><div>In 1872, William married Fanny Godwin and they had ten children, all born in Malvern - Annie Frances (1873-1944, married Charles Brown in 1896), George Robert (1875-1960, married Florence Emma Toe in 1901), James William (1877-1962, married Lucy Agnes Webb in 1903), William Henry (1879-1942, married Christina Cameron in 1905), Rose Emmeline (1881-1891), Alfred Percy (1883-1966, married Margaret Josephine Coxon in 1910), Charles Cornelius (1885-1965, married Lilian Mary Mickle in 1911), Charlotte Myrtle (1891-1979, married Edward Percival Krummeck in 1932), Violet Emma (1891-1952, Edward George Hill in 1915), Ivy Edith May (1893-1941, did not marry) <span style="font-size: x-small;">(3).</span></div><div><br /></div><div>In 1891 William Bailey purchased 50 acres at Narre Warren, and began planting out his orchard then, but the family did not move there until after the birth of the last child, Ivy in 1893. The Narre Warren property was called <i>Bona Vista</i>, in Bailey Road <span style="font-size: x-small;">(4).</span></div><div><br /></div><div>Some of William and Fannie's children remained in the area after they reached adulthood - their eldest son, George (1875-1960), had a General store in Narre Warren, operated by family members until the 1970s. George and his wife Florence built <i>Brentwood</i> (later called <i>Clarinda Park</i>) in 1904. In 1993, the address was 271-299 Narre Warren North Road, I don't think it still exists. Another son James married, as we said, Lucy Agnes Webb, the daughter of Sidney and Anne <a href="http://caseycardinialinkstoourpast.blogspot.com.au/search/label/Webb%20family%20Narre%20Warren">Webb</a>. He was also a fruit grower. They built <i>Araluen</i> in 1903 and their daughter, Lucy, lived there until she died in April 1997 and the land was sub-divided. <i>Araluen</i> burnt down in mysterious circumstances a few years ago.</div><div><div><br /></div></div><div>William died December 29, 1922 aged 81 and Frances (nee Godwin) died May 28, 1929, aged 78. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPEH4K68zynu_8dAhw0vQafFhi9hpmOJCXrXEpfD3Co9Krlu2EtcjMBJRs5CPjDxxiUK0bjvPelTK3818xLs5Q7A6GdPSqr07lkDX-ddnB5I7IMn4N-cmmUUiqnqwGZPCoa4eX8YbjLnc8/s2048/bailey+apple.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1619" data-original-width="2048" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPEH4K68zynu_8dAhw0vQafFhi9hpmOJCXrXEpfD3Co9Krlu2EtcjMBJRs5CPjDxxiUK0bjvPelTK3818xLs5Q7A6GdPSqr07lkDX-ddnB5I7IMn4N-cmmUUiqnqwGZPCoa4eX8YbjLnc8/w400-h316/bailey+apple.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div>I don't have a photograph of William Bailey, but this is his son, James Bailey with his son, Sidney James Bailey, taken c. 1918 </div><div>in their Narre Warren North orchard.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>There are two reports of William Bailey's horticulture enterprise - the first is from the <i>Weekly Times</i> of April 15, 1899 (see <a href=" http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article221142517">here</a>) and the second from <i>The Leader</i> of February 23, 1907, (see <a href="http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article196647732">here</a>.) They are interesting as they talk about the many varieties of apples grown on the Bailey property, many of which we no longer hear about, and certainly don't see in the supermarkets.</div></div><div><br /></div><b> FRUIT GROWING AT NARRE WARREN (By Our Agricultural Reporter.) </b><b>The <i>Weekly Times</i> of April 15, 1899 </b><div><br />The cultivation of fruit has not been extensively carried out in the Narre Warren district, but a splendid object lesson is afforded, as to the possibilities of the district, by Mr W. Bailey's Bona Vista orchard, about 4½ miles from the Narre Warren railway station and 1½ miles from old Narre Warren township<div><br /></div><div>The orchard is pleasantly situated on the side of one of the numerous hills to be found in the district. When Mr Bailey first started the land was heavily timbered and covered with dense scrub. He was laughed at when he stated his intention of planting fruit trees, and was told failure was bound to ensue. Being a practical orchardist, he formed his own opinion about the matter, and from the results there is no doubt as to the soundness of his judgment.<br /><br />Although the orchard has only been started eight years, the growth made is simply marvellous. <i>Pinus insignis</i>, planted for breakwinds, would, from the growth made, lead one to suppose they had been planted at least twice that period. What strikes one on first entering the orchard is the uniform size of the trees - one tree would serve as a model for the whole of any particular plantation. The soil is of a granite nature, and at the first glance would not impress one as to its fertility.<br /><br />The orchard has a north and westerly aspect, which seems to suit the trees admirably. Remarking on the size of the trees, Mr Bailey explained that he followed out a system of summer pruning, so often advised in "The Weekly Times", for by this means all the available growth is directed into the proper channel, instead of making rank growth, which has to be cut away in the winter pruning.<br /><br />The whole of the orchard has been thoroughly drained by means of either tile or charcoal drains, but for efficacy Mr Bailey prefers the former. Although no insect pests have yet made their appearance, spraying is regularly carried out during the winter months as a preventive, Bordeaux being the mixture chiefly favored.<br /><br />The area devoted to Peaches at the present time is about two acres, and these trees look remarkably well, with the exception of a few worked in the almond stock, and these have proved far from satisfactory, while a few have grown as freely as those worked in the peach stock. The majority are dwarfed and stunted. Why this should be Mr. Bailey is unable to explain, but it should serve as a warning to all intending planters in the district. The crops this season have been very fine, and have given good returns. The varieties most favored are Briggs Red May, Hale's Early, Early Crawford, Fosters Royal George the Comet. The trees have been planted 15ft x 15ft. apart, and this, Mr Bailey finds, is far too close.</div><div><br />There are twelve acres devoted to the cultivation of apples, and these have also made very free growth. In some instances the outer growths have been brought into a horizontal position, thus causing lateral shoots to grow out, besides utilising the exuberant growth, the size of the trees has been considerably extended. This system has been more particularly observed with trees having a tendency to grow into close pyramid form. </div><div><br /></div><div>The following varieties give equally good results: - Rome Beauty, Jonathan, King of Pippins, Reinette du Canada, Summer Scarlet Pearmain, London or Five Crown Pippin, H.U. Cole's Prince of Pippin, and Cole's Rymer. The latter is an enormous cropper; its only fault is that it comes into bearing the same time as Jonathan. The apples are planted 20 x 20 feet apart.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJXuOEZkiAwV9K1TddWjkaUEBbt6ND6L79_MBTykDHc_PIx_tbrdt3aL-f94mQ68HkzerqQMJoRdbMdAyShzg_-0K3T5lvhSQqjvouxvuE1FItOenKAwIcR6uWjWEnqttrqgWcV1h2dEZI/s1475/FL16378048.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1475" data-original-width="1129" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJXuOEZkiAwV9K1TddWjkaUEBbt6ND6L79_MBTykDHc_PIx_tbrdt3aL-f94mQ68HkzerqQMJoRdbMdAyShzg_-0K3T5lvhSQqjvouxvuE1FItOenKAwIcR6uWjWEnqttrqgWcV1h2dEZI/w306-h400/FL16378048.jpg" width="306" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The Rome Beauty apple, one of the varieties grown by William Bailey.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This illustration, dated March 1881 was done by John Charles Cole of the Richmond Nursery, the first cousin of William Bailey (see footnote 2).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">State Library of Victoria Image H96.160/2075</span></div><div><br /></div><div>The three acres of pears show remarkably clean growth, and the fruit is of excellent quality. Williams's Bon Chretien, Souvenir de Congres, Bailey's Bergamot, Keiper's hybrid, Beurre d'Angon, Doyenne du Bossoch and Vicar of Winckfield are the principal sorts grown.<br /><br />Plums also receive attention, but not to such a large extent as the other fruits, but from the success attained Mr Bailey would feel quite justified in the area devoted to them. Orleans, Washington, Black Orleans, Fellenberg, and Golden Drop have given the best returns. Whilst on the subject of plums we must not forget the Japanese variety, Kelsey. This kind is an enormous bearer, and is especially useful for private use. The blood Japanese Mr Bailey would advise grown as a weeping, ornamental plant, for planting on the lawn or elsewhere.<br /><br />Apricots seem as much at home as the other varieties of fruits, but only the following varieties are grown to any extent: - Ouillen's Early, Moorpark, and Campbellfield's Seedling. The strawberry plantations are by no means the least important item at Bona Vista. The returns from this source have been excellent. The plants are placed in double rows, 2½ feet apart, and 15 inches in the rows. This enables the horse hoe to work readily between the rows.</div><div><br /></div><div>Mr Bailey remarked that, to grow strawberries successfully, cultivation of the soil must be carried out the whole of the year, and not, as many growers do, leave the plants untouched directly the fruit is gathered until the following spring The manure used for this crop is principally bonedust and stable manure. The following are the varieties grown: - Marguerite, Edith Christy, Trollope's Victoria, and Arthur. The latter does exceedingly well, but, unlike the other varieties named, does not produce a second crop.</div><div><br />Mr Bailey has a clean lot of young fruit trees, suitable for planting this season. The collection comprises all the leading kinds of peaches, apples, pears, plums, strawberries, etc. Besides the orchard, Mr Bailey has about [illegible] acres devoted to the growth of tomatoes, peas, pumpkins, maize, and other crops, suitable for feeding purposes. (<i>Weekly Times</i> of April 15, 1899, see <a href=" http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article221142517">here</a>)</div><div><br /></div><div><b>A GARDEN ORCHARD. INTENSE CULTURE. [BY OUR HORTICULTURAL REPORTER] The Leader</b></div></div>, February 23, 1907<div><br /></div><div><div>Mr. Bailey was a prominent member of the Royal Horticultural Society of Victoria, but after settling at Narre Warren he was forced, owing to the distance, from Melbourne, to take a less active interest in its work. The son of a strawberry grower near London, Mr. Bailey came out to Australia, and started work in Mr. J.C. Cole's Richmond nurseries <span style="font-size: x-small;">(5)</span>, and, though now well advanced in years, he is still actively engaged; and working with the enthusiasm born of a natural fondness for watching and encouraging plant growth. Several sons are engaged in horticultural pursuits; two of whom are working in their father's plantation. </div><div><br /></div><div>The orchard, which covers 35 acres, is situated near the summit of a granitic hill, about three miles from the Narre Warren railway station. The character of the land is such that the breaking up of the soil and planting fruit trees demanded more than ordinary pluck, and endurance. Immense granite boulders jut out from the surface of the soil. To remove these extraordinary blots from an orchard site meant, digging holes, under each boulder and lighting fires. As granite carries a large percentage of water, the heat forces an expansion, which splits the rock, and thus facilitates the work of removal. The soil, of course, takes its character from the granite. Mr. Bailey reckons trees get all the potash they require, but stable manure is frequently used. The latter is applied as a mulch to the trees direct from the stables and cow bails, and thus there is no waste of ammonia, as is frequently the case when stacking in pits. </div><div><br /></div><div>Horses and cows are stabled the year round, and with plenty of bayonet grass, pea straw, &c., every pound of animal manure is secured, for the orchard. "It is no use running an orchard without it," Mr. Bailey remarks. The orchard is tile and timber drained throughout, and, owing to its exposed position, the property is divided into sections by lines of pine, tree break winds, which are trimmed flat on both sides, leaving no overlapping branches near the fruit trees. The soil around the established trees is kept in fine tilth by constant ploughing and scarifying, while immediately under the trees the spade and hoe are used. </div><div><br /></div><div>The trees being pruned to bear low down, it is impossible to work horse implements too close. The cost of digging is reckoned, at 1d. per tree, or 5/ per acre, per annum. Owing to the tendency of the soil to wash away on this hillside orchard, paths at irregular intervals are retained in an unploughed condition, and covered with rushes. The latter is a carpet which serves the purpose of retaining the moisture and keeping weeds down, and forms one of several novel and attractive features of a well ordered plantation.</div><div><br /></div><div>To note the fruits in detail, first place must be given to the apples of which there is an extensive collection of varieties. The trees are arranged at even distance of 20 feet each way, but in one of the recent plantings they are set out at 23 feet distances, with peach trees planted half way between in one direction only. The latter method is adopted with the view of removing the peaches after they have yielded several crops, by which time the apples are fairly established. Some dead peaches near an open drain have been allowed to stand as frames for passion fruit vines.</div><div><br /></div><div>An interesting example of the passing out of favor of a good apple is shown in a patch of the Yates variety, grafted on the butts of what used to be John Toon trees. The latter used to pay well until the Jonathan came into favor, and so it had to give way to a more profitable variety. The Jonathan is one of the best apples grown in this orchard. Trees growing 20 feet apart had branches touching when they were six years old, and yielding five cases of fruit per tree. They are now over ten years old, have yielded regularly every season, and one year the trees yielded 50/ per tree through export consignments.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR6FPwvIORDbw1ywnxTu3XhEm1EHDw189oi6X02tLJ8MEJasw7rchso2nPNzBWF3vNgNLEkdpgyOcqBYfxEw6HOduqe8GJqtPXQa6mqeanLVWKDZD5ZotzQaNZoc0y7NyIBWiGc_ABCEo0/s2048/apple-model-coxs-orange-pippin-1949-1216889-large.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1546" data-original-width="2048" height="303" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR6FPwvIORDbw1ywnxTu3XhEm1EHDw189oi6X02tLJ8MEJasw7rchso2nPNzBWF3vNgNLEkdpgyOcqBYfxEw6HOduqe8GJqtPXQa6mqeanLVWKDZD5ZotzQaNZoc0y7NyIBWiGc_ABCEo0/w400-h303/apple-model-coxs-orange-pippin-1949-1216889-large.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Cox's Orange Pippin - a variety grown by William Bailey</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is a wax model, made in the Melbourne Museum </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">by Joy Dickins, August 1, 1949.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Image: Museums Victoria <a href="https://collections.museumsvictoria.com.au/items/413345">https://collections.museumsvictoria.com.au/items/413345</a></span></div><br /><div>"This is the land for Jonathans," Mr. Bailey remarked, and, pointing to a tree bearing a good half crop, added: "That is the way I like to see them growing. Last year half a crop, this season the same, and it will be repeated next year. Grown like that you get a better grade, better size and better quality." A number of Rennettes were cut back and grafted with this popular variety, and good crops are now in sight. </div><div><br /></div><div>Comparatively small quantities of this orchard's produce is exported, the fruit being grown to meet the requirements of local markets. How ever, one of Mr. Bailey's sons took 500 cases to England on the steamer Geelong, a steamer in which the engineer took particular care in regard to the maintenance of an even temperature in the fruit storage room throughout the voyage. For this reason chiefly, Mr. Bailey states, the care in selecting good fruit and careful packing was not wasted, and Jonathans, Bismarks and a few Cox's Orange Pippins opened up in London, as sound as on the day they were packed. High prices were realised, and in regard to Cox's Orange Pippin especially Mr. Bailey is convinced that it is one of the best paying apples if landed in England in good condition. A few Munro's Favorite are grown, but owing to the tendency of the skin to split near the stalk, a failing of this variety common to the cooler districts of the State, it is not favored. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5HAES3ypaWUXO9ThV94KOLiffWJZsAwhegTfU7JoAhGbsB5REGklM2BG76i2ss4XIYsdVObtg-Dr-k_hEdpV2uNwlu7I81LPm_YKOXmRfUHm_EvUyGSPbsQ5zsm3skWB7EgUN0E9sl1x8/s2048/apple-model-jonathan-1950-1216969-large.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1569" data-original-width="2048" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5HAES3ypaWUXO9ThV94KOLiffWJZsAwhegTfU7JoAhGbsB5REGklM2BG76i2ss4XIYsdVObtg-Dr-k_hEdpV2uNwlu7I81LPm_YKOXmRfUHm_EvUyGSPbsQ5zsm3skWB7EgUN0E9sl1x8/w400-h306/apple-model-jonathan-1950-1216969-large.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The Jonathan apple, another variety grown by William Bailey.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This is a wax model, made in the Melbourne Museum </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">by Joy Dickins in 1950.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Image: Museums Victoria Collections <a href="https://collections.museumsvictoria.com.au/items/385107">https://collections.museumsvictoria.com.au/items/385107</a></span></div></div><div><br /></div><div>From ten year old Bismarks 20 bushels of fruit per tree have been taken. Red Astrakans started to color three weeks ago, and this is a late season. The latter is on the market now. Mr. Bailey keeps for a day or two after picking, and by the time they are marketed the fruit is very juicy and attractive. Odd varieties are dotted about the orchard, such as Lord Suffield and Cornish Gilliflower. The latter is a very pretty streaked apple, known in Tasmania as the Ribstone. It is an old English variety, and is blight proof. There is a good show of fruit on the Rome Beauty trees, a result due to the thrip insect attacking the blossom, which in this variety blooms very late in the season. This pest threatens to become a most serious menace, especially to late varieties, such as Rome Beauty. Like Munro's Favorite, the Cleopatra is better suited to the warm districts north of the Dividing Range, but in this orchard a few trees are showing good crops of clean fruit, "because they were sprayed at the right time."</div><div><br /></div><div>One of the best paying apples grown here is the Gravenstein, a variety which has become so popular in local markets that a Melbourne salesman said, "If I were planting an orchard it would, comprise Gravensteins for the most part." These trees produce very strong, sweeping branches, and while 20 feet distances suit certain upright growing varieties, Mr. Bailey would prefer, now that Gravensteins are established, that they had the freedom of 25 feet distances. </div><div><br /></div><div>In commenting upon the low-lying branches which sweep the ground beneath his apple trees, Mr. Bailey remarked, "You can cut off a branch at any time, but you cannot grow another one in that position in a single season. Fruit on these low-hanging branches are not affected by the wind; it is easier to pick, and the tree is easier to spray." Particulars regarding the culture of other fruits, will be given in a second article. (<i>The Leader</i> of February 23, 1907, see <a href="http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article196647732">here</a>.

About a year after they were married they moved to Victoria, to Bendigo, where they lived with Nicholas' father. Nicholas was out of work, so Emily took a position in a Hotel and some time after that he went away and she did not hear from him for seven years. Around mid 1902 Gertrude discovered that Nicholas was living with another woman, Annie Lewis, by whom he had a number of children. In February 1904, Gertrude instituted divorce proceedings.

They were not there long and they moved to the Racecourse Hotel in Keilor in October 1919. By 1921 they were at the Tatong Hotel and in September that year, Gertrude took over the licence of the Railway Hotel in Goorambat and April 1922, she took up the licence of the Redesdale Hotel and by August 1923 that licence was transferred <span style="font-size: x-small;">(19)</span>. Five Hotels in five years, a very quick succession and Redesdale appears to have been their last Hotel. I wonder why they kept moving, but it seemed to be the pattern of their life after that,</div><div><br /></div><div>In 1926 they were at 20 Beaconsfield Parade, St Kilda, where Mrs Kilroy rented out rooms and William was a traveller or salesman <span style="font-size: x-small;">(20)</span>. They were innocently connected to a murder while they were there as one of Mrs Kilroy's boarders was charged with murder. He was 65 year old Henry Tacke, who was infatuated by 34 year old Rachel Currell, a married woman with one child. She had already complained to her husband about his stalking her. Tacke came around to their house at 4 Mary Street, St Kilda on December 15, 1925 fought with her husband and then shot her five times - he claimed he just fired down the passage way to frighten her. He then calmly walked home to Mrs Kilroy's as if nothing had happened. At his trial he was found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to a mere seven years. Tacke died in gaol in September 1927 <span style="font-size: x-small;">(21)</span>.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Electoral Rolls list the Kilroys at two other addresses in St Kilda in the late 1920s - 241 Barkly Street and 114 Acland Street.

William died May 15, 1939 at the age of 64, and their address listed in the death notice was 39 Alma Road, St Kilda. He was the son of William John and Margaret (nee Hughes) Kilroy and he had five sisters, Annie, Rose, Emily, Sarah and Mary and one brother, Thomas. He was also the devoted uncle of Madge, Bill and Bernie and one notice and one notice said he was <i>loved by all and sadly missed</i> <span style="font-size: x-small;">(23)</span>. </div><div><br /></div><div>After William died, the next I can trace of Gertrude is that she was at 30 Hodgkinson Street, Clifton Hill and in 1954 she was at St Josephs Home, Northcote (24). She died in April 1956, at the age of 91 and is buried with William in the Catholic section at the Fawkner Cemetery (25). I cannot find a death notice for Gertrude or a Will. Gertrude was a hard working woman, essentially supporting herself all her adult life as a housekeeper, hotel keeper and even after she retired from the Hotel business, she took in boarders to help make ends meet. Gertrude Emily Kilroy - enterprising, a sumptuous and expert caterer, sentimental and community minded.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Trove list</b> - I have created a list of newspaper articles on Gertrude Kilroy, William Kilroy and their life and work, access it <a href="https://trove.nla.gov.au/list/155246">here</a>.</div><br /><b>Footnotes</b><br />(1) <i>The Ag</i>e, March 7, 1914, see <a href="https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/189398219">here</a>.<br />(2) <i>South Bourke & Mornington Journal</i>, December 21, 1911, see <a href="https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/66179793">here</a>.<br />(3) John Taylor was licensee of the Hotel in 1911 and in January 1912 had purchased the freehold of the Hotel. In May 1918, it was reported that William James Taylor had taken over the licence and the lease of the business from Gertrude Taylor. In May 1919, Sarah Kelly took over the licence from William Taylor. Members of the Kelly family also operated the Cranbourne Hotel, also in High Street. John Taylor is listed in the Cranbourne Shire Rate books as owning the Hotel until 1921/1922 Rate Year. In 1922/1923, Arthur Kelly is listed as the owner. I feel that William James Taylor is probably the son of John Taylor, but have no evidence.<br />(4) Information from her Marriage certificate to William Kilroy. Her mother is listed as Mary O'Toole on Gertrude's marriage certificate. Her marriage certificate said she (Gertrude) was 37 in 1906, hence born 1869.

This post looks at some references to Diamond Hill in books and newspapers.<br /><br />We'll start with why the area was called Diamond Hill and this seems to be unknown.

It seems strange that the reason given for the collapse of the Brick Company was that the clay was unsuitable; someone blundered with the new type of kiln, evidently never going into the pros and cons of the industry, for it is in this very area that a clay pit is still being worked by the Ordish Firebrick Company Pty Ltd., founded over 100 years ago and the Centennial Brick Company managed to last for thirty years and gave employment to over 50 men in the 1880's</i> <span style="font-size: x-small;">(5)</span>.<br /><p></p>There was a Civil Court case involving the Diamond Hill Bricks Works in June 1892 between the owner of the land on which the brick works were located and members of the Syndicate who owned the Company, you can read about it <a href="https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/221209081">here</a>.

Jack was born in 1929 and he mentions Diamond Hill and also talks about brick works - <i>Three of the early brickmakers were Mr Handley in the Macrae Street area, Mr Hobbs in the Pultney Street area and Mr Northey </i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(7) </span><i>at the back area of the Diamond Hill property on Cranbourne Road </i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(8)</span>. </div><div><br /></div><div><i>The clay pits at Mr Northey's Diamond Hill Brick Works were all in the area around the unmade end of Kirkham Road where it crossed Frankston Road and about where the junction of the Gippsland and South Gippsland rail lines are today.

The Diamond Hill homestead was next to the Gippsland rail line at 78 Cranbourne Road. There was also a small granite quarry at the back of the hill.

Amongst these settlers was the Garnar family, mentioned by Jack Johnston. The Garnar family arrived in Dandenong area in 1854. James Garnar had a farrier's business on Pound Road and in 1857 moved into Dandenong and operated a shoeing forge. His sons, James and Edward, continued in the business and added a wheelwright and undertaking business <span style="font-size: x-small;">(12)</span>. Around 1894 they <i>sold most of the business and retired to one of their properties at Diamond Hill, still carrying on the business of undertakers</i> <span style="font-size: x-small;">(13)</span>. The Garnar family operated the Funeral Directors business until it was sold to Le Pine in 1950 <span style="font-size: x-small;">(14)</span>.
