SUMMARY:Digging in to Family History How & Where with Peter Beer
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 23 November 2021 at 6.45pm for a 7pm start \nPlease book – the link for the session will be sent after booking \nTo book please call George Fernando  – 0448296258 or email – enquires@chs.org.au \nPeter Beer worked in the IT industry for over 30 years\, with almost 20 years living in Hong Kong and China. He speaks Mandarin. He held senior technical management roles leading teams across Asia and was always fascinated about leveraging data to assist sales\, problem and management processes.\nOver the past few years\, Peter has leveraged his IT and data analysis skills to uncover remarkable facts about his family history\, exploring what can be found online and through ‘networking’ to complement existing family history facts and folklore. 250+ days of lockdown certainly provided a lot of additional opportunity!\nThis presentation will cover some of these discoveries\, with a particular emphasis on ‘how’ this is relevant for attendees – highlighting the many sources and methods that Peter found vital to making major family history breakthroughs. It will also highlight why and where the history is relevant to attendees – for example covering various Melbourne architectural landmarks\, including the Spires of St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Comedy Theatre\, and numerous houses in Camberwell and Boroondara in general.

SUMMARY:Cataloguing Clinic via Zoom with Jillian Hiscock
DESCRIPTION:Cataloguing Clinic via Zoom with Jillian Hiscock\nJillian Hiscock\, the RHSV Collections Manager\, started these cataloguing clinics during the early days of COVID and they suit Zoom very well. The clinics run for an hour from 11am – 12noon on the 4th Thursday of each month. It is a relaxed gathering of people who are finding their way through the intricacies of cataloguing material in historical collections which\, as we all know\, fall between a library and a museum with sometimes a bit of art gallery thrown in.  With our membership scattered across Australia please remember that this is Melbourne time – AEDT in summer and AEST in winter. \nJillian always prepares some material on some specific queries but questions are encouraged and\, remember\, a problem shared is a problem halved. The clinics are conversational in format rather than a seminar. If you are new to cataloguing or an old hand you will find plenty to interest you in these sessions. Jillian often has material which is emailed out to attendees after the clinic. \nThe last clinics for 2021 will be held (via Zoom) on: \n\nNov 25\, 2021 11AM\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting (this is applicable to all 10 clinics during 2021)\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86005954246?pwd=eUsyRlRxTE92bU5Wb3IzVjVIcmxKdz09 \nMeeting ID: 860 0595 4246\nPasscode: 217816 \nPlease remember to register otherwise we can’t send you material after the event. \nAnd remember to keep an eye out for these clinics in 2022.

SUMMARY:The Siege That Forged an Enduring Australian and Polish Friendship: The Rats of Tobruk
DESCRIPTION:At this very special event\, hear how the friendships forged in a small\, coastal town in northern Africa influenced Australia’s post-war migration and created lifelong bonds across cultures. \n  \nThe Shrine of Remembrance\, in partnership with the Institute of National Remembrance\, Poland\, presents a digital event on Saturday 27 November honouring the enduring legacy of the Australian and Polish Rats of Tobruk. \nJoin Dr Mark Johnston\, Professor Marek Wierzbicki and Lucyna Artymiuk as they discuss the shared experiences of the Australians and Poles in Tobruk and the impact on Australia’s migration and connection to Poland. \nBetween April and November 1941\, 14\,000 Australians were besieged within the Libyan fortress of Tobruk by a powerful Italo-German army. Ordered to deny Tobruk to the enemy for eight weeks\, the men held out for five months. Pro-Nazi propagandist and broadcaster Lord Haw Haw (William Joyce) described the defenders as ‘rats’—an insult which they adopted as a badge of honour. \nExhausted\, the Australian troops were progressively withdrawn from Tobruk between August and November 1941. Other troops including the Carpathian Brigade\, comprising soldiers who had escaped Poland after its conquest by the Nazis and Soviets in 1939\, relieved them. \nIt was the Poles who finally ended the siege when they captured Acroma and linked up with the British 8th Army. In recognition of this feat\, the Australians shared with the Poles their most venerated title. Henceforth\, the Poles too would be ‘Rats of Tobruk’. \nBetween 1947 and 1948\, Australian veterans of Tobruk helped sponsor the migration of 1\,500 Polish soldiers to Australia when it became impossible for these men to return to their homeland\, due to Soviet occupation. \n  \n  \nThis event will be live streamed on the  Shrine’s Facebook and YouTube channels. \n  \n  \nMore on the Speakers: \nLucyna Artymiuk is a second generation Polish Australian\, the daughter of a Polish airman who arrived on the third of five transports of Polish Immigrants after the Second World War. She Is currently a history PhD candidate at the University of Melbourne looking for the first time at Polish migrant soldier scheme to Australia in 1947–1948\, which was a litmus test for the implementation of mass migration of non-British migrants from the displaced person camps of Western Europe to Australia during the post-war reconstruction era. Lucyna has been a prominent member of the Polish Australian community for the past 30 years and is currently the Acting President of the Polish Museum and Archives in Australia.\nRecently she has authored her father’s biography From Poland to Where Ever in the World and in the process uncovered details of the post-war relationship between the Australian and Polish Rats of Tobruk that had not been documented or had been erased from the collective memory of the Polish and Australian veteran communities. \nDr Mark Johnston Mark is one of Australia’s leading authorities on the Second World War. He is the author of more than ten books\, including The Magnificent 9th: An Illustrated History Of The 9th Division 1940–46 and An Australian Band of Brothers which concerns Don Company of the2/43rd Battalion. The battalion fought in Tobruk\, El Alamein and New Guinea. Mark is the head of History\, Politics and Philosophy at Melbourne’s Scotch College. \nProfessor Marek Wierzbicki is a Polish historian and political scientist\, full professor\, lecturer at the Catholic University of Lublin (Faculty of Social Sciences); since 2007\, chief specialist (senior researcher) at the Institute of National Remembrance. His research interests include\, inter alia\, relations between the authorities and society in communist Poland\, ethnic relations under the Soviet occupation of Poland and Eastern Europe(1939–1941)\, the history of Polish political emigration after 1945 including wartime- military and civilian – exiles\, the social history of the 20th–21st centuries and the role and mentality of youth in both Eastern (communist) and Western (capitalist) Europe during the Cold War (1947–1991). One of his scholarly works is a biography of Zygmunt Szadkowski – one on the Polish Rats of Tobruk who became one of the leaders of the Polish political emigration after the Second World War. \n  \n  \nMedia Enquiries: \nInterviews with the speakers available upon request \n  \n  \nFor more information  \nAnna Lensky \nPitch Projects \n0425 766 780 \nanna@pitchprojects.com

SUMMARY:A WALK WITH ROBYN ANNEAR
DESCRIPTION:It is always exciting when Robyn Annear releases another of her captivating books into the wild and her latest book\, which releases on the 30th of November\, promises to be fabulous. Robyn has devised 7 historic walks around Melbourne and she will be leading a walking tour for RHSV members of one of those walks – around the Queen Victoria Markets and Flagstaff Gardens area. \nThe walk will be 90 minutes and finish with morning tea with Robyn. Because there is a limit of 15 for this walk we are limiting it to strictly just RHSV members. The walk will go ahead regardless of the weather so please be prepared for whatever Melbourne throws at us on the day. Wear comfortable shoes and carry some water. The starting point and ending point of the walk will be emailed to ticket-buyers. \n\n\nMelbourne’s streets have always been marvellous—but the proud facades of the nineteenth-century boom aren’t the half of it.\nWhat about the stories behind them?\nThe great corset scandal of Melbourne’s belle epoque;\nThe heritage-listed toilets out the back of the Rialto;\nThe exploits of the women who ran the brothels in Little Lonsdale Street;\nThe reason George Mallaby starred in Homicide wearing a hat two sizes too small. \nThis book contains a series of walks created by Robyn Annear to showcase the hidden histories we might scurry past every day\, the buildings now gone and the extraordinary characters who inhabited them.\nCharming\, erudite and frankly gossipy\, Annear’s highly entertaining guide to Melbourne past and present need not be experienced on the move. But whether you enjoy it from a tram stop or an armchair\, Adrift in Melbourne will inspire you to unleash your inner flâneur on the lurking surprises of this great city. \n\nThe other good news is that Robyn will be doing a virtual walk for us in 2022 so\, if you are not one of the lucky 15\, you will be able to join Robyn at the RHSV when she takes you on an armchair ride through the streets and laneways of Melbourne. This event will be publicised in early 2022 so keep an eye out. \n\nIf you want to buy Adrift in Melbourne (great Christmas present for any Melburnian) click here.

DESCRIPTION:Freak Out How a Musical Revolution Rocked the World in the Sixties\nFreak Out is Australia’s coming-of-age story\, of how we as a nation were dragged into global culture by the unstoppable momentum of rock and pop music. The sixties was an era of extraordinary change and earth-shattering events. The music scene responded with popular anthems that reverberated across the planet. What’s more\, the gun was fired on a period of unprecedented musical innovation and creativity\, the likes of which have never been repeated. \nMusic spoke to young people in their own shared language\, urging them to view themselves as decidedly separate from mainstream society – even suggesting they might ‘drop out’ altogether. For a brief time\, millions of young people across western culture actually believed they could successfully reinvent society. Liberation for pacifists\, women\, people of colour\, homosexuals\, students and the oppressed seemed to be just a short revolution away. \nThere was no room for complacency or apathy in the face of the Cold War\, Vietnam War\, and the constant threat of nuclear annihilation. Australians may have been spared the fear of bomb blasts\, assassinations and kidnappings; however\, the ructions abroad invaded our national psyche\, and the music that was generated in that milieu infiltrated Australian culture and transformed society forever. \nIn this event the author\, Tony Wellington\, will be interviewed by Sean Sennett\, music-writer and musician.\nTony Wellington has worked in a broad range of creative arts fields and even dabbled in politics as the Mayor of Noosa Shire. \nTony is the author of Happy?: Exposing the Cultural Myths about Happiness\, plus a history book\, Noosa and Cooloola\, and is co-author (with John Shand) of Don’t Shoot the Best Boy! The Film Crew at Work. He has also produced several photographic books\, the most recent being Wild About Noosa. Over the years\, Tony has provided articles\, op eds and photographs for many newspapers\, magazines and books. \nTony graduated from Macquarie University in 1976 majoring in Media and Communications\, receiving a university prize for his media studies. For many years he worked on a freelance basis in the feature film and television industry as a scriptwriter\, first assistant director\, editor and director. He also lectured in media studies and film craft. \nSean Sennett is a Brisbane based music writer and musician. As the owner of Time Off magazine for two decades\, Sean interviewed over a thousand artists – from local and unsigned bands to the likes of David Bowie\, Iggy Pop and Bruce Springsteen. He has written about music for The Age\, Rolling Stone (here and overseas)\, the Australian\, the SMH and Word. Sean now hosts the podcast Sony Music Presents Time To Talk. Sean has written and recorded music with Rob Hirst\, Kate Ceberano\, Steve Kilbey\, Ross Wilson\, Kasey Chambers and more. \nPlease note that this event originates in Brisbane which is on AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time) wheras Melbourne is on AEDT (Australian Eastern Daylight time) so\, for Melbourne audiences it starts at 7:30pm.  \nIf you are an RHSV member attending this event and you want to buy a copy of Freak Out please contact Avid Reader\, the bookshop hosting the event.

SUMMARY:The Melbourne Socialite & The Turkish Diplomat
DESCRIPTION:The Melbourne Socialite & The Turkish Diplomat\nPresented in partnership with the National Archives of Australia and the Genealogical Society of Victoria \nPresented by Patrick Ferry and Janan Greer \nLondon\, 1913: A wealthy young woman from a stately country home falls in love with and secretly marries a handsome young diplomat from the Turkish Embassy. It sounds like a plot line from the hit British period drama Downton Abbey … but it is the real-life story of Melbourne socialite Florence Winter-Irving. Florence’s story is told through records held by the National Archives of Australia\, contemporary newspapers and treasured family memorabilia and traditions. Her story is set against the backdrop of patriarchal nationality laws which stripped women of their own nationality when they married ‘aliens’ – i.e.\, foreign men who were not British subjects. \nFlorence came from one of Victoria’s wealthiest squatter families. Their country seat\, Noorilim\, near Murchison\, is regarded as one of the finest mansions ever built in Victoria. \nWhen Florence met and married Turkish aristocrat and diplomat Chefik Bey Muftyzade it created a sensation in the Australian press\, which even speculated that Florence was about to enter a ‘harem’. \nPatrick Ferry is the State Manager\, Victoria for the National Archives of Australia. He is a professional archivist\, local historian and author. Patrick’s most recent book Blood\, Toil\, Tears and Sweat: Remembering the Pakenham District’s WW2 service personnel\, 1939 – 1945\, won the 2020 Victorian Community History Award for Best Local History Project. \nJanan Greer is the great-granddaughter of Florence Winter-Irving. Janan works in marketing and communications and has a passion for family history and storytelling. She is the custodian of many family photographs\, letters and documents relating to her paternal family lineage. \n  \nPhoto courtesy of the National Archives of Australia

SUMMARY:Cataloguing Clinics 2022
DESCRIPTION:Jillian Hiscock\, the RHSV Collections Manager\, started these free cataloguing clinics during the early days of COVID and they suit Zoom very well. The clinics run for an hour from 11am – 12noon on the 4th Thursday of each month. It is a relaxed gathering of people who are finding their way through the intricacies of cataloguing material in historical collections which\, as we all know\, fall between a library and a museum with sometimes a bit of art gallery thrown in.  With our membership scattered across Australia please remember that this is Melbourne time – AEDT in summer and AEST in winter. \nJillian always prepares some material on some specific queries but questions are encouraged and\, remember\, a problem shared is a problem halved. The clinics are conversational in format rather than a seminar. If you are new to cataloguing\, or an old hand\, you will find plenty to interest you in these sessions. Jillian often has material which is emailed out to attendees after the clinic. \nThe clinics in 2022 will be held (via Zoom) on: \n\n        Feb 24\, 2022 11:00 AM (topic: cataloguing multi-media)\n        Mar 24\, 2022 11:00 AM\n        Apr 28\, 2022 11:00 AM\n        May 26\, 2022 11:00 AM\n        Jun 23\, 2022 11:00 AM\n        Jul 28\, 2022 11:00 AM\n        Aug 25\, 2022 11:00 AM\n        Sep 22\, 2022 11:00 AM\n        Oct 27\, 2022 11:00 AM\n        Nov 24\, 2022 11:00 AM\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/85662066892?pwd=L2REVUhtZmtHblM0ZjV0ZDNxN3FkUT09\nMeeting ID: 856 6206 6892 \nPasscode: 227214 \nAlthough\, we provide the Zoom details above\, please do remember to register otherwise we cannot email you material after the event.

SUMMARY:Launch of Andrew Lemon's historical novel\, The Pebbled Beach at Pentecost
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Lemon AM has published widely in Australian history\, winning literary and historical awards and commendations. He is best known known for his epic three volume ‘The History of Australian Thoroughbred Racing’. His co-authored ‘Poor Souls\, They Perished’ won the Fellowship of Australian Writers’ Wilke Award\, and ‘The Master Gardener’ was long-listed for the 2018 Mark and Evette Moran Nib Literary Award. In 2012 he was a John Daniels Research Fellow at the National Sporting Library and Museum at Middleburg\, Virginia USA. A past president of the Royal Historical Society of Victoria\, Andrew holds the degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Letters from the University of Melbourne. This is his first novel. \nVernon Lee Walker\, a young Englishman from industrial Wolverhampton\, meets his death on a beach on Pentecost Island in the South Pacific on the eve of Christmas 1887.\nWhy did Vernon die\, in what circumstances\, and who was responsible? Was he\, as once branded\, simply a ‘bad colonist’? Or was he a candide\, an innocent abroad\, mixing invisibly with the rich and famous\, manipulated by a calculating brother\, unable to change the world around him?\nAn historian finds Vernon’s letters home to England\, spanning a dozen years. With decreasing frequency\, these follow his trajectory\, first in Melbourne and Sydney\, then as he yields to the spell of the Pacific. But what happens between the lines? Does he fall in love with his brother’s wife? What does a boy not tell his mother?\nThe novelist steps in. This is a unique fusion of authentic history and informed invention – a tragic story of colonialism in Australia and the Pacific\, told with compassion\, humour and a deep understanding of time and place. \n‘Original\, authentic\, beautifully written\, a page turner. One of the best books we’ve read in ages. A prize winner – quite different\, a standout performance.’ – Vicki Steggall\, writer\, historian\, author of The Goannas of No.1 Martin Place\n‘A rich\, generous book and its scholarly underpinning is impressive.’ – Dr Brenda Niall AO\, FAHA\, Australian biographer\, literary critic and journalist \n  \nVenue:  Edendale Farm\, 30 Gastons Road\, Eltham (There is ample free car parking). \nProof of double vaccination for everyone over 18 is required before entry to Edendale Farm. \nTime: SUNDAY 6 MARCH 2.00pm until 3.30pm \nEntry: $35 PER PERSON (or $40 for couples)\nPrice includes one signed copy of the book or a $30 book voucher for Eltham Bookshop redeemable any time (stall available at the event) and light refreshments. \nIf you are not attending this event and would like to buy a copy of Andrew’s book\, the RHSV bookshop have stock \nThe Pebbled Beach at Pentecost: A novel by Andrew Lemon \n \nPREPAID BOOKINGS ARE ESSENTIAL: ELTHAM bookshop 970 Main Road Eltham. \nBook here: https://elthambookshop.com.au/p/kalynn-bayron-event?barcode=CIR1644019360&selected_category=98463\nTel: (03) 9439 8700.

SUMMARY:The Plight of St Kilda’s 19th Century Servants
DESCRIPTION:In this fascinating and insightful presentation – St Kilda Historical Society’s first public event of 2022 – Carmel McKenzie will examine the living conditions and power dynamics of servants in nineteenth century St Kilda\, drawing on numerous case studies gleaned from primary sources. The research forms part of her soon to be published book: St Kilda 1841-1900: Movers and Shakers and Money-makers. \nReflecting its wealth\, St Kilda boasted the highest number of resident servants of any Melbourne suburb for much of the nineteenth century. Most were indentured under contracts that bound them to their employer for several years and those who left before completing their term committed a crime and risked forfeiting their wages. Female servants were expected to remain childless\, a stricture that led to the highest rate of infanticide in St Kilda outside of central Melbourne. \nKindly note:  We will be maintaining the mask requirement for this event. \nCost $10 – Booking Essential. Limited places. \nBookings: Plights of St Kilda’s 19th Century servants – public Tickets\, St Kilda Army and Navy Club\, St Kilda | TryBooking Australia

SUMMARY:ADRIFT IN AN ARMCHAIR WITH ROBYN ANNEAR
DESCRIPTION:Melbourne’s streets have always been marvellous—but the proud facades of the nineteenth-century boom aren’t the half of it.\nWhat about the stories behind them?\nThe great corset scandal of Melbourne’s belle epoque;\nThe heritage-listed toilets out the back of the Rialto;\nThe exploits of the women who ran the brothels in Little Lonsdale Street;\nThe reason George Mallaby starred in Homicide wearing a hat two sizes too small. \nRobyn Annear has devised 7 historic walks around Melbourne and\, in this event\, she will be taking us on one of those 7 walks\, albeit whilst we are seated comfortably at the RHSV with a glass of wine in hand. The walks showcase the hidden histories we might scurry past every day\, the buildings now gone and the extraordinary characters who inhabited them. Robyn\, as always\, will be charming\, erudite and frankly gossipy. \n\n\nAll seven walks appear in Robyn’s latest book\, Adrift in Melbourne\, her highly entertaining guide to Melbourne past and present. Whether you enjoy it on the hoof or from an armchair\, Adrift in Melbourne will inspire you to unleash your inner flâneur to uncover the historical surprises of this great city. \n\n\nIf you want to buy Adrift in Melbourne (great present for any Melburnian) click here. \nAs with all RHSV events held on-site\, we will serve drinks from 5:30pm until 6pm when Robyn’s talk will begin. \nIn 2022 we will be attempting to offer both on-site events and Zoom access too. The talk will be available as a download after the event for the same $10 cost as a ticket. \nThis is an RHSV Women’s History Month event

SUMMARY:Unprotected: Aboriginal\, Convict and Poor women in Colonial Victoria: or how everything bad was made worse by being female
DESCRIPTION:Protection of body and soul in colonial Victoria came in many forms. At the most fundamental level it meant an entitlement\, usually by birth or marriage\, to an income that sustained you and your children; to a moral status as a woman of virtue that made sexual assault or abuse an egregious version of a crime; to the presence in your household of a capable male to embody that protection. The law provided some protection\, but in fact remarkably little against assault\, battery and rape if those offences were perpetrated by your husband and did not protect your rights of access to your children after divorce or access to your own wealth after marriage. A woman without a reliable\, effective and respectable male protector as breadwinner—a father\, a husband or a blood relative—would die younger; lose more of her children; have smaller babies at birth; suffer more infertility; risk or suffer destitution; be afflicted by addiction; commit suicide or be murdered than women who enjoyed respectable male protection. There was a hierarchy of entitlement to safety\, with convicted women on the second bottom rung along with non-British women such as Chinese\, while at the bottom\, utterly vulnerable were Aboriginal women and girls. These were the penalties of gender rather than the wages of sin. \nWe are honoured that Professor Janet McCalman has accepted our invitation to deliver the third RHSV Women’s History Month Lecture in 2022. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmeritus Redmond Barry Professor Janet McCalman AC has made a significant contribution to Australian history\, especially medical history\, historical population health\, social health and demography. \nShe commenced teaching at the University of Melbourne in 1998\, in the cross-faculty Centre for the Study of Health & Society. She has taught in both the Arts Faculty and the Faculty of Medicine\, Dentistry and Health Sciences\, specialising since 2008 in the teaching of interdisciplinary breadth subjects. \nSince that time she has also pioneered the building of historical life course datasets for demographic and health analysis. She is the author of three multi-award winning books: Struggletown (1984\, 1998 and 2021)\, Journeying (1993)\, Sex and Suffering (1998). In 2020 she co-edited with Emma Dawson What Happens Next? Reconstructing Australia after COVID 19 and in 2021 Vandemonians: the repressed history of colonial Victoria. All her books have been published by Melbourne University Press. She retired at the end of 2020. \nIn 1993 McCalman was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities and a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences in Australia in 2005. She is a former member of the Australian Historical Association Advisory Committee to the National Archives of Australia and the Editorial Board of the Australian Dictionary of Biography. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs at most RHSV events\, drinks will be served from 5:30pm and the lecture will run from 6pm to 7pm including Q&A. The Zoom lecture will commence at 6pm. \nThe RHSV offers ticket buyers to this event a $10 discount on buying Janet McCalman’s Vandemonians or Struggletown both of which can be found in our bookshop. A voucher code will be sent to you on booking and you apply this voucher code when checking out of the bookshop on line. \nDr Judith Smart will chair this lecture. \nThis is a Women’s History Month Lecture

SUMMARY:‘Wings of Peace’ Centenary of Australia’s First Official Air Race\, Serpentine Victoria
DESCRIPTION:After the Great European War of 1914 to 1918 and amount of £25\,000\,000 (pounds) was being sought by the Australian Commonwealth Government through a bond subscription from the people of Australia – ‘The Second Peace Loan’.   The Acting Treasurer\, Sir Joseph Cook announced this on 7th July 1920 with the funds to be expended on the repatriation of the uniformed soldier to industrial and civilian pursuits in the community.   Each State was given a target. Victoria was expected to contribute £8\,200\,000 (pounds). The introduction of Australian Flying Corp aeroplanes utilising World War I aviators was a novel way to generate interest in the Peace Loan and help the one-month intense promotion of the bonds.  To promote the 1920 event pilots travelled by train on the Tandarra\, Dingee\, Prairie\, Mitiamo rail line and addressed local residents on the importance of supporting the Second Peace Loan.    Bank officials and ex-servicemen accompanied these trains or followed in a car to promote the Peace Loan and sign new subscribers.    East Loddon Shire residents and businesses had a target of £19\,000 (pounds) to raise which they achieved in August 1920. \nAfter winning the race on 27th August 1920\, pilot\, Lieut. William Harold Treloar\, flew back to Serpentine on the 2nd October 1920 to be presented with a silver trophy by Cr. Nicholas Tonkin\, President of the East Loddon Shire.  The Serpentine district community residents subscribed £40 (pounds) to purchase the trophy.  The historic trophy has been housed at Point Cook Air Museum and is being especially flown in for the day by the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF)\, No. 100 Squadron newly re-formed as the Air Force Heritage Squadron and reestablished at the Centenary of the RAAF\, which was formed on March 31\, 1921.   The day will be jam packed full of aviation history with tiger moths\, iconic Australian Warbirds\, CAC WIRRAWAY\, the Grumman Avenger the heaviest single engine aircraft of WWII\, the T-28 Trojan a piston-engined military trainer used by United States Air Force and Navy\, beginning in the 1950s. \nThis will be a 70-mile air race launching from (temporary) ‘Serpentine Airfield’ Loddon Valley Highway.   Tiger Moth pilots/owners from around the country will converge on Serpentine Airfield and as part of the celebrations\, the skies over the Serpentine will roar into life with heart-stopping Aerobatic & historical warbirds presented by Paul Bennet Airshows and the Royal Australian Air Force’s aerobatic display team\, the ROULETTES who are famous worldwide for their high-octane displays of formation flying\, aerobatics\, and low-level flying that show just what incredible feats Air Force fighter pilots are capable of.   The Roulettes now perform their display in the state-of-the-art Pilatus PC-21\, one of the most advanced training aircraft in the world. Flying as low as 80m and at speeds of up to 685km/h and with forces up to 6G’s\, the Roulettes can perform as close as 3m to each other.   \nSerpentine Airfield is located 6kms south of Serpentine\, Loddon Valley Highway between Bendigo and Kerang.  You won’t find it on any maps as it’s not a full-time airfield. It’s a beautiful grass field perfectly suited to host a historical air race.   Feature attractions – Vintage Bi-Plane Air Race\, Paul Bennet Air Shows Vintage Aircraft and Vintage Displays.  A shuttle bus from Bendigo and Swan Hill (bookings essential *Option to purchase bus ticket will pop up after you add your ticket to your cart).\nAdult $35\nChild $15 (6 to 16yrs)\nFamily $80 (2 adults\, 2 children)\nConcession $35\nChildren 5 years old and younger do not require a ticket.\nBuy online and SAVE!\nTickets will be $40 at the gate on the day.

SUMMARY:FROM RESTRICTED TO ASSISTED: MALTESE MIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA
DESCRIPTION:Explore the history of Maltese migration to Australia during the twentieth century. \nDid you know that migration from Malta was once heavily restricted because the Maltese were seen as a threat to ‘white Australia’? Yet\, after WWII\, Malta was one of the first countries with which Australia signed an assisted migration agreement. This webinar will explore the intriguing history of Maltese migration to Australia during the twentieth century\, using case studies from the National Archives’ collection to highlight how perceptions and policies changed over time. \nPresented by Patrick Ferry (National Archives of Australia) and Luis Calleja (Monash University)\, in collaboration with the RHSV and the Genealogical Society of Victoria. \nThis event is one in a series of free Zoom seminars presented by the National Archives of Australia to members of both the RHSV and the GSV. \nThis event\, held on Harmony Day\, is a celebration of Australia’s Multiculturalism. \n  \n         \nPhoto captions for two images above from the National Archives of Australia’s collection \nCarmela Abela and her children\, who migrated from Malta in 1954.

SUMMARY:The Women of Little Lon
DESCRIPTION:Sex workers in nineteenth-century Melbourne were judged morally corrupt by the respectable world around them. But theirs was a thriving trade\, with links to the police and political leaders of the day\, and the leading brothels were usually managed by women.\nWho were they? What did their daily lives look like? What became of them? Drawing on the findings of recent archaeological excavations\, rare archival material and family records\, historian Barbara Minchinton brings the fascinating world of Little Lon to life.\nBarbara Minchinton is a historian and independent researcher. For several years she collaborated with a team of archaeologists on the interpretation of artefacts from Melbourne’s Little Lon district.

SUMMARY:VINTAGE HOTELWARE with DI SANDILANDS
DESCRIPTION:When table manners were fashionable\, eating houses proudly served meals on crockery emblazoned with their establishment name – each mouthful reminding customers of exactly where they were. \nDi Sandilands is a curious girl\, and has been fossicking for these cups\, plates\, jugs and alike for years. Some even have their own “pubcrock” Instagram and Facebook page. \nAlong the way she’s discovered the research value of a box of matches\, learnt a bit of Italian and become pretty good at deciphering initials – although there’s an 1895 teapot with “S.Y.P.S.S.” idling in her mystery box. \nShe’s also developed an abiding affection for Coles Cafeteria\, which introduced dining out to the people of Melbourne in 1930\, and was at the beginning of our cherished ‘Cafe Culture’. \nJoin Di for a fun night when she’ll be displaying many Victorian pieces from her vintage hotelware collection\, telling their stories and hers. She’ll also be selling her pure linen Coles Cafeteria art tea towels which are printed with each cafeteria location throughout Australia. \nDrinks are served from 5:30pm and the Di’s talk will start at 6pm\, finishing at 7pm. \n  \nThis is a Women’s History Month event
