    Finals history – the Brisbane Lions and the Geelong Cats

    A pale blue handwritten ledger from October 17, 1854, showing financial accounts between Jo George Mugleston and the owners of the Eureka Hotel, the Bentleys. The document lists services rendered, cash loans, and bowling alley fees, with monetary amounts in pounds/shillings/pence format. This ledger is dated the same day of the historic Eureka Hotel riot that saw the hotel destroyed by fire.
