Victorian Aboriginal Corporation for Languages
Thesis, Stephen Morey, The verbal system of the Central Victorian language, the Aboriginal language of Melbourne : an investigation into the manuscripts of Rev. William Thomas (1793-1867)
This thesis examines and analyses the linguistic data in the papers of the Reverend William Thomas (1793-1867) in the Mitchell Library, Sydney (Thomas MS 214). This data was found to refer mainly to the Aboriginal language of the Melbourne area, described by Blake and Reid (1998) as the Central Victorian Language.word listswathawurrung, wathaurong, boonwurrung, boon wurrung, woiwurrung, thagungwurrung, djadjawurrung, tjapwurrung, wergaia, wemba baraba, wemba wemba, yeti, madhi madhi, ledji, wadi, nari nari, wimmera, ballarat, bacchus marsh, gippsland, mount gambier, wonnin, john green, george augustus robinson, r h mathews, luise hercus, linguistics, sociolinguistics -
Villa Alba Museum
Photograph - Rear door from the alcove of the housekeeper's room, c.1987
Built for William and Anna-Maria Greenlaw in the early 1880s, and with interiors decorated by the Paterson Bros, Villa Alba remained in private ownership until 1949. From 1950, the house was owned by a number of institutions. By 1984, the Villa Alba Preservation Society had been formed, and three years later, the Mount Royal Hospital granted a 25-year lease to Kew Council. In 2004, the title to Villa Alba was passed by the Victorian Government to The Villa Alba Museum Incorporated. The Museum, at 44 Walmer Street, Kew, is now a cultural institution committed to the collection, study and display of 19th century interior decorative finishes, and the components of 19th and 20th century interior decoration.This is one of a number of historically and aesthetically significant photos of the interiors and exterior of Villa Alba when it was still owned by the Mount Royal Hospital, showing twentieth century accretions and deterioration of the historic fabric of the building. This was a benchmark survey against which future conservation and restoration activities can be measured.In December 1987, Mockridge Stahle & Mitchell Pty Ltd Architects prepared ‘Villa Alba Survey: A Report on the fabric for Mount Royal Hospital’ of which this photograph is a part.

Stripper, The Stripper, 1843
The Stripper was invented by John Ridley in 1843, while trying to overcome harvest labour shortage. In the early ays of Colonial South Australia a labour force was essential to harvest the wheat crop quickly before the grain shook out and fell to the ground. The stripper solved this problem, as t could strip 10 acres [4 hectares], handling approx. 180 bushels [5 tonnes] per day. This replaced 14 men using scythes.Strippers were used in this area between 1870's to the early 1900's.Then the Stripper Harvestors took over this processprinciple of the stripper----The wheat heads were knocked off the straw by a fat revolving beater ,and the grain, mixed with the husks and short straw, was propelled to the rear tin box. When the box became full, the contents were emptied into a winnower for cleaning. Recorded as Mitchell Stripper -
