Japanese-inspired decoration in the 1880s to the non-historical ‘Art Nouveau’
of 1900, to the rugged Californian bungalow of 1920—all as seen in our local
Heidelberg and Ivanhoe area. <b>Truth, Beauty & Utility</b> is now open at
the Heidelberg Historical Society Old Courthouse Museum, Jika Street Heidelberg
and can be viewed on Sundays from 2 pm to 5 pm. Entry $5.00.</span><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Please note the exhibition is only open depending on Coronavirus restrictions.<br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span><p></p>

celebrating<a href="https://www.internationalwomensday.com/" target="_blank"> International Women’s Day</a> all week and today’s spotlight is on
Elizabeth Austin. <o:p></o:p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Elizabeth
Austin was a Victorian pioneer and philanthropist during the late nineteenth
century, driven to improve the lives of older and poorer women.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Elizabeth
and her husband Thomas built Winchelsea’s imposing Barwon Park mansion in
1871.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thomas died there that same year
and in her following year’s Elizabeth Austin made significant contributions to
the Victorian community.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Locally, Elizabeth
founded the Austin Hospital for incurables – now part of <a href="https://www.austin.org.au/" target="_blank">Austin Health</a> – at
Heidelberg in 1882.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She persuaded the
Victorian government to donate land and she donated £6,000 for building
works.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">She had a
particular passion to improve the lives of older and poorer women at a time
when there were no welfare provisions being provided by government.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">The Austin
is now a major health institution, world renowned for its research and
specialist work. The Austin Hospital continues to serve the community and
opened the Olivia Newton John wellness centre in 2013.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Elizabeth
Austin died aged 89 years old in 1910 leaving a family of five sons and six
daughters.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">In 2012 she
was added to the <a href="https://www.vic.gov.au/victorian-honour-roll-of-women" target="_blank">Victorian Honour Roll of Women</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Visit our curated list on the <a href="https://yprl.spydus.com/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/MSGTRN/WPAC/HOME" target="_blank">catalogue</a> for recommended reading from our collection.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal">First published: <a href="https://www.yprl.vic.gov.au/blogs/international-women-s-day-elizabeth-austin/" target="_blank">Yarra Plenty Regional Library</a>, 8 March 2021</p><p class="MsoNormal">Image: British Library digitised image from page 103 of "Victoria and its Metropolis, past and present [Vol. 1 by A.

Anne-Maree was very engaging with her natural storytelling about her experiences.</span></p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #474747; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1rem; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5rem; margin: 0px 0px 18px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Anne-Marie’s mother was a keen gardener so decided to enter her irises and roses in the Whittlesea Show. After winning a prize for her champion rose Anne-Marie's parents suggested that she enter her nut loaf in the Show. This was the beginning of a long association with the Whittlesea Agricultural Society. Anne-Marie was amazed to see a blue ribbon fro her nut loaf on her first attempt. She had never considered herself an accomplished cook and 43 years later she continues to enter her nut-loaf as a nod to this tradition. Her father was a savoury cook and her mother was good at the classics like raspberry coconut slice. When her parents were first married they worked in a country eatery. Her grandmother was also a cook and Ann-Marie continues to use her bread board in remembrance of her. </p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #474747; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1rem; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5rem; margin: 0px 0px 18px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Anne-Marie also entered craft items early on including a hooked rug when they were all the rage as well as hand knitting.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #474747; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1rem; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5rem; margin: 0px 0px 18px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Being self-taught Anne-Marie encourages people to “give it a go”. She does lots of experimenting and learned by her mistakes along the way. She has attempted lots of different categories. One year she decided to make bread for the first time. “How hard can it be?” Very hard! Her loaf was as heavy as a brick and after she emptied it out of the tin on the lawn, she feared that the birds would break their beaks trying to peck at it. But it is all been part of the journey. Rather than “Best in Show” which is how we promoted Anne-Marie’s talk she thinks that “From Little things big things grow” best describes her journey.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #474747; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1rem; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5rem; margin: 0px 0px 18px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">One year she could not find her nut-loaf following the judging and looked for a steward to find out why. An embarrassed steward after a light-bulb moment said that it had been eaten by the judges as they thought it was morning tea! </p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #474747; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1rem; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5rem; margin: 0px 0px 18px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">She was soon encouraged to enter the Melbourne Show, the pinnacle of Agricultural shows in Victoria where the country comes to the city. From there she was encouraged to step up as a judge. This involved undertaking several courses, one with the Country Women’s Association (CWA) which she had to join as a member and with the Victorian Agricultural Societies Association. A judge’s job is to be impartial and fair.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #474747; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1rem; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5rem; margin: 0px 0px 18px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Anne-Marie strongly believes in helping others, providing advice and recipes to other entrants. She has felt very connected to this special community. Volunteers, stewards, judges who turn these events around in such a short time frame. It is all “hand in glove”.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #474747; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1rem; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5rem; margin: 0px 0px 18px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Anne-Marie is a multiple winner of the coveted McRobert Memorial Award at the Royal Melbourne Show for her cookery. The prize for this award is a beautiful silver spoon. </p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #474747; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1rem; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5rem; margin: 0px 0px 18px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Another competition Anne-Marie has entered is The <a class="o-link--solid-faux-underline" data-analytics="[{"event":"bc.outboundLinkClick","payload":{"gtmCategory":"v2-page-interactions","gtmAction":"v2-outbound-link-click","gtmLabel":"https:\/\/www.dalemain.com\/marmalashes\/","gtmValue":1,"gtmContentType":"","gtmContainerName":"","gtmContentCreator":"","gtmCreatorType":"","gtmCardTitle":""}}]" href="https://www.dalemain.com/marmalashes/" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(148, 148, 148); border-bottom-style: solid; border-image: initial; border-left-color: initial; border-left-style: initial; border-right-color: initial; border-right-style: initial; border-top-color: initial; border-top-style: initial; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #02729e; fill: rgb(2, 114, 158); font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Marmalashes</a> This is a marmalade making competition between England and Australian contestants (in the vein of the cricket Ashes competition).

Anne-Marie admits to not being so and will discover she has a missing ingredient when she is well into the process (lucky a supermarket is open long hours 5 minutes from home!)<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />Some people freeze items before Showtime. Anne-Marie does not encourage this. Items can lose texture and flavour from this process.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />To make a flat fruit cake, tap the tin on the bench and gently push the mixture into the tin with a damp hand.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />Look for actual red cherries for a fruit cake. (Speciality shops sell them). They can be sold as quite a dark colour these days. Red cherries are like finding a sixpence in a fruit cake.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />Scones need light hands don’t knead like bread.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />Clean jars and bottles thoroughly including lids.

The Alice Elizabeth Broadhurst collection includes over 1,300 photos from 12 photo albums broadly spanning 1895-1926 but mainly covering the period 1918-1926; depicting the 16th Australian General Hospital, Mont Park (Macleod West, now part of LaTrobe University and the Springthorpe Community), the Royal Melbourne Hospital and Royal Women’s Hospital and two trips to the United Kingdom and Europe undertaken in 1923 and 1926.</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #474747; font-family: "noto sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5rem; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />The albums were compiled and owned by Alice Elizabeth Broadhurst (1896-1981), initially while working as a Voluntary Aid Detachment nurse with the Australian Red Cross at the Mont Park Military Hospital and subsequently as a nurse at the Royal Melbourne and Royal Women’s hospitals alongside many pioneering doctors of their fields. Many photos depict her time at Mont Park, including nursing staff, patients, buildings, group gatherings, a visit by General Birdwood and the end of service of Mont Park as a military hospital in 1920 when the departure of the last military patients from Macleod Railway Station. The albums also include photos of Alice’s childhood home in Western Australia, her father's home, ‘Heatherleigh’ at Tunstall, her time as a nurse at the Royal Women’s and Royal Melbourne hospitals as well as a record of an almost year long trip undertaken by her father and step mother to the United Kingdom, Europe and New Zealand in 1923. Another album covers a further almost year long trip undertaken by Alice herself to the United Kingdom and Europe in 1926 where she also visited some of the significant battlefields of the First World War.<br />The collection was donated to Yarra Plenty Regional Library in two stages: the first two albums initially in March 2016 and the remaining albums in July 2019.</p><p style="background-color: white;

The latest exhibition at the <a href="https://www.heidelberghistoricalsociety.com.au/">Heidelberg Historical Society</a> is <strong>Heidelberg’s Busy Bee Signature Quilt.</strong> This has been a tremendous suess since it opened in November 2019. Constructed in 1895-6 by members of Heidelberg’s Scots Church as a fundraising project, contributors came from far and wide to participate in the project. 213 hand-embroidered squares record almost 140 legible signatures as well as dozens of initials, decorations and place-names.<br />The tradition of quilting was often a communal activity where women mainly participated and has a strong tradition in the United States of America. Akin to the community effort back then, members of the Historical Society have contributed to installing the exhibition since the quilt was offered to their collection in 2018. Led by curator Margaret Birtley the team have investigated the making of the quilt, researched some of the names on the quilt, designed and installed the exhibition, developed the <a href="http://www.heidelberghistoricalsociety.com.au/hhs/quilt.php">accompanying website</a>, conducted tours and marketed the event.<br />Visit the website and check out close up images and add what you know about the people who worked on the quilt.<br />There wil be a <strong>curator's talk on Saturday 14th March</strong> at 2.00pm<br />Visit <a href="https://www.nationalquiltregister.org.au/">The National Quilt Register</a>, an online database and central resource for the Australian quilting community. It provides digital access to quilts held in public and private collections throughout Australia including the Busy Bee Signature Quilt.<br />The exhibition is on now at the Old Heidelberg Court House, Jika Street, Heidelberg. Sunday afternoons through to April 2020.<br /><a href="https://yprl.bibliocommons.com/list/share/71713926_lss_yprl_family_history/1467005047_quilts_inspiration_for_busy_bees">Quilts : Inspiration for Busy Bees</a>Infolasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14547417182178605684noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24868754.post-39626936057466949602020-02-20T09:57:00.000+11:002020-02-20T09:57:52.653+11:00Banyule Heritage Study<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There are currently 190 places and precincts protected by the Heritage Overlay in the Banyule Planning Scheme.
