24.01.2022 Around 7 million records detailing the history of land use in Victoria are now available online after a major digitisation project, funded by the Department of ...Environment, Land, Water and Planning. The Sands and McDougall directories record commercial, industrial and residential land use from 1860 to 1974 and are used by historians, genealogists, urban planners, property vendors and buyers. More than 50,000 pages and 24 volumes of the directories are now accessible from anywhere in the world.

24.01.2022 As it's my birthday, I reckon this is a good one!

23.01.2022 Martha Needle was hanged in 1894. Martha was an attractive woman with an apparently kindly disposition, but she was insane by any modern standards. Her friends ...were shocked when it was discovered she had poisoned her husband, daughters and prospective brother-in-law. She had grown up in a violent and abusive household, and had shown signs of mental instability as an adolescent, but had grown into a beautiful young woman and married at seventeen. After her children's deaths, before she was apprehended, she spent the insurance money on an elaborate family grave which she visited regularly. She was hanged at the age of thirty. Martha had been raised in an unstable family and wreaked havoc on her own. Her story is unusual in this catalogue of misery, because her crimes arose not out of the severe circumstances of colonial Victoria but from universal, age-old family and personal dysfunction. #prisonerrecord http://bit.ly/2fy3rxn See more

22.01.2022 It's worth reminding everyone again that you can do a free Person Search on the Genealogical Society of Victoria website http://www.gsv.org.au/research/guests/trialsearch as there are around 4 million entries there, mostly Victorian, for deaths, mining leases, electoral entries etc... and more details are available with a full membership ($18 joining, $94 Annual). They have a comprehensive Library in Collins St Melbourne. Here's their Facebook https://www.facebook.com/genealogyworld/

19.01.2022 The GSV Flickr page has over a thousand images - this is a curious family portrait, I'm not sure if it's in a studio or back yard, but because of the stuffed kangaroo and joey, probably a studio.

16.01.2022 The Shepparton Wharf circa 1973 from the State Library Victoria collection - doesn't look like this now!

12.01.2022 Today marks 51 years since decimal currency was introduced in Australia - "on the fourteenth of February, 1966" as went the jingle.
