SUMMARY:Walking tour: Batmania
DESCRIPTION:In late 1835 John Batman was feted as he proceeded up the Yarra Yarra by 300 dancing aborigines welcoming King Batman to Batmania. Batman had been to-ing and fro-ing between the infant Port Phillip settlement and Launceston\, his former home\, over several months and this lavish welcome had been organised by his brother Henry and the former convict\, William Buckley\, to get under the skin of Batman’s nemesis\, John Pascoe Fawkner. It\, as always\, worked! \nRHSV researcher\, Fiona Graham\, has put together a new guided walking tour of the south-western corner of the CBD – today it is a slightly raffish\, down-at-heel part of town but back in 1835 it was where everything was unfolding. Come and learn something new about your city. \nJoin Fiona on this wonderful new walk as she explains those early years and shows the surprising reminders of a time long gone. \nWe will launch this new tour in History Week on Tuesday 15 and Thursday 17 October at 10am. For History Week the tours will be free-of-charge but please book as numbers are strictly limited. \nThe tour will start at the former Age building on the corner of Collins and Spencer Streets and will take about  90 minutes. Although the distance covered is not vast\, you will be on your feet for 90 minutes so please wear comfortable walking shoes. \nThe tours will go ahead whatever the weather and we ask people to gather under the portico of 655 Collins St (Corner of Spencer St) – the former Age Building (with the big media screen\, opp Southern Cross Station).

SUMMARY:Lecture: Geraldine Moore on key events in the life of George Higinbotham
DESCRIPTION:George Higinbotham was a highly influential politician in colonial Victoria. One of his contemporaries described him as a man of ‘dash and daring’ who ‘won from privilege and class ground that they have never since been able to recover.’ Even today debate rages about his character and his legacy. Some see him as a visionary who fought for responsible government free of Colonial Office interference and obstruction by an undemocratically elected Legislative Council. Others see him as a flawed character whose legacy was turmoil.\nAs a journalist with the Melbourne Herald\, Higinbotham influenced the course of events as agitation mounted on the goldfields and culminated in the battle at Eureka. A year afterwards\, in the storm that erupted following Governor Hotham’s claim to unconstitutional powers\, he led a press campaign of opposition. Later\, as Attorney General of Victoria\, his daring leadership of the Legislative Assembly’s struggle against the Legislative Council led to constitutional crises in 1865 and 1867. And as the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court\, his public donation to the strike fund during the Great Maritime Strike of 1892 created controversy\, even outrage. Despite humiliations and defeats\, he championed democracy and the public interest as he saw it. \n\nPrior to the lecture\, the RHSV serves drinks from 5:15pm until 5:45pm in the Gallery Downstairs when we move upstairs for the 6pm lecture. Please note that there is no lift to the first floor and it is not accessible for those in wheelchairs or for those who have difficulty in climbing stairs. \nGeraldine’s book will be available for  sale on the night.
