The Lady's Realm was a illustrated monthly women's magazine published in London in the 19th century, initially edited by W. H. Wilkins. It also published 36 volumes between 1896 and 1914. The Lady's Realm was a British women's magazine published from 1896 until 1914, possibly until 1915. It primarily targeted upper-class readers as well as an aspirational middle-class audience, featuring photographs, poems, fiction, and columns by popular authors such as Marie Corelli, Frances Hodgson Burnett, Jack London, and H.G. Wells. (Wikipedia) Founded in 1833, the Sydney Mechanics' School of Arts is the longest running School of Arts (also known as a "Mechanics' Institute") and the oldest continuous lending library in Australia. These magazines reflect women's interests in the early 20th century. Women’s magazines developed rapidly through the 1800s, reflecting both marketing developments and social changes. As the century progressed, publications aimed at women changed from the middle-class drawing-room journals of the 1830s and 1840s to the cheaper, chattier, more domestic magazines of the 1880s and 1890s.

The correspondent of The Argus recorded that: "The Parliament of the Commonwealth was opened yesterday by the Duke, of Cornwall and York, under a Commission signed by Queen Victoria and subsequently endorsed by King Edward VII. The ceremony was marked by the splendour and solemn impressiveness which befitted its historic importance. ... To-day the Heir to the Throne will review some 15,000 Australian troops at Flemington. ... It is a function which, on a lesser scale, might have been arranged at any time for many years past; but it could never previously have conveyed the meaning it does now. Soldiering was popularly regarded as a pastime here until South Africa tried the mettle of our men. It is serious business from henceforth. Those who followed the nascent aspirations of the volunteer soldiery in Australia must be impressed at the rapidity of their fulfillment. ... The document design has artistic and aesthetic merit.

This 19th-century German secretaire is a refined example of the Biedermeier style, valued for its restrained elegance, high-quality craftsmanship, and practical, compartmentalised interior. Made with fine veneers, typically cherry or walnut, over a sturdy timber carcass, Biedermeier secretaires represent an important era of German domestic design that emphasised order, utility, and tasteful simplicity. Its significance to Ziebell’s Farmhouse Museum is elevated by its direct association with Christian Ziebell, who returned to Germany in 1855 after having settled in Westgarthtown and brought the secretaire back to Melbourne by ship. As a personally selected furnishing, it reflects both Christian’s continued connection to his homeland and the aspirations of a settler family building comfort, status, and familiarity in a new country. The secretaire contributes meaningfully to the interpretation of German migrant domestic life, craftsmanship, and transnational identity, offering tangible insight into what the Ziebell family valued and chose to carry across the world.

Raquel Ormella is an artist working at the intersections of art and activism, with a diverse practice that includes textiles, video, installation, drawings, and zines. Ormella explores how contemporary art can prompt viewers to reflect on their own beliefs and values regarding political consciousness and social action. Her art practice is also grounded in exploring the nature of the relationship between humans and the natural environment. This artwork, Workers Blues #2, reimagines the Australian National Flag, constructing a rough-hewn approximation of it from blue workers shirts. Flags are one of the most powerful uses of fabric; Ormella is echoing the flag design to explore tensions between aspirational nationhood and the personal effect of this has on individuals, marginalised social groups and the environment. Ormella’s choice of material – blue cotton workers shirts - also references gendered associations with cloth, with masculine nationalism symbolised by the workers shirts, including in the mining industry. The work is an example of the symbolic power of cloth as a marker of identity, including gender and class.

Rowing was introduced to Bendigo in 1872 by John Godfrey, who built the first wooden skiff and promoted the sport locally. The Sandhurst and Bendigo Rowing Clubs were formed in 1873, with Lake Weeroona's creation in 1879 providing a permanent home for the club. BRC members have competed nationally and internationally, including at the Commonwealth and Olympic Games. Notable achievements include women from Bendigo winning the Henley on the Maribyrnong three years in a row during the 1930s, challenging gender norms in sport. Key athletes such as Hannah Every-Hall and Neville Howell have played significant roles in the club's development and reputation. The club emphasizes inclusivity, welcoming juniors, women, men, and masters, and fostering a family-friendly, socially responsible culture.The ethos of volunteerism and community connection is central to the club's identity and future aspirations. The club has survived challenges such as droughts, wars, and the COVID-19 pandemic, consistently adapting and continuing its activities.
