Two-up is a traditional Australian gambling game played with two coins tossed in the air, and players bet on whether they will land two heads, two tails, or odds (one of each). It’s one of the most iconic pieces of Australian cultural history. Two-up became famous among Australian soldiers in World War I, especially at Gallipoli and on the Western Front. It was simple, portable, and boosted morale. After the war, it became a symbol of mateship and remembrance. Two-up isn’t just a game, it’s a ritual of Mateship, Luck and Chance, Remembering diggers and Community gatherings. Because of this, Two-up is legally allowed to be played in most Australian states on ANZAC Day, even where gambling laws would normally prohibit it.Two‑up has a surprisingly rich little history in Sunshine, Victoria, because of the suburb’s strong links to WWI and WWII service, the RSL, and the old industrial workforce culture where the game stayed alive long after it faded elsewhere. Two-up was played in lunchrooms at the large factories throughout the district, such as at H.V. McKay’s Sunshine Harvester Factory, ICI & Wunderlich. It was played at private gatherings in back sheds, houses, paddocks, behind buildings and hotels around Albion, Braybrook, Matthews Hill, Sunshine & Sunshine North, and informally at the early Sunshine RSL. As the game was illegal, there are many reports in the local papers of places being raided by the police and fines being imposed by the courts on players that were caught playing the game. Many of the local two-up locations are listed in these newspaper's reports.5347.01 - Court Of Petty Sessions - Sunshine Advocate 1st October 1927 Page 5.pdf 5347.02 - Two-Up, Beer-Up And Betting School - Sunshine Advocate 14th February 1936 Page 2.pdf 5347.03 - Two-Up At Ding Sunshine Station Reserve - Sunshine Advocate 15th November 1935 Page 3.pdf 5347.04 - Young Bloods Playing Two-Up - Sunshine Advocate 24th October 1941 Page 1.pdf 5347.05 - Played Two-Up - Sunshine Advocate 1st May 1942 Page 1.pdf 5347.06 - Two-Up Players Fined - Sunshine Advocate 19th June 1942 Page 1.pdf 5347.07 - Alleged Two-Up School - Sunshine Advocate 15th October 1943 Page 1.pdf 5347.08 - Alleged Two-Up School Case Against Occupier Dismissed - Sunshine Advocate 3rd December 1943 Page 3.pdf 5347.09 - Two-Up Players Fined - Sunshine Advocate 19th May 1944 Page 1.pdf 5347.10 - The Police Infiltrated Two Uppers Landed Cold - Sunshine Advocate 22nd September 1944 Page 1.pdf 5347.11 - Hard Swearing In Two-Up Cases - Sunshine Advocate 15th June 1945 Page 1.pdf 5347.12 - Gambols In Paddock To Escape Gambling Police Raid - Sunshine Advocate 24th January 1947 Page 3.pdf 5347.13 - Obstructing Of Police Brings Fine - Sunshine Advocate 14th February 1947 Page 1.pdf 5347.14 - Charge Of Gambling Fails - Sunshine Advocate 21st February 1947 Page 1.pdf 5347.15 - Police Raid House For 'Swy' Game Occupier And Players Fined - Sunshine Advocate 3rd September 1948 Page 1.pdf 5347.16 - Caught Red Handed At Two-Up - Sunshine Advocate 21st October 1949 Page 1.pdf 5347.17 - Two-Up Players Fined - Sunshine Advocate 25th November 1949 Page 1.pdf 5347.18 - Two-up Players Caught - Sunshine Advocate 20th January 1950 Page 4.pdf 5347.19 - Gave Wrong Name To Police Two-Up Player Fined - Sunshine Advocate 17th March 1950 Page 4.pdf 5347.20 - Youth Won't Work - Sunshine Advocate 27th October 1950 Page 1.pdf 5347.21 - Bing Crosby Caught Playing Two-Up - Sunshine Advocate 13th April 1951 Page 1.pdf 5347.22 - Jotting From the Court Two-Up Player Fined - Sunshine Advocate 23rd November 1951 Page 4.pdf 5347.23 - No Claim Expected For This Money - Sunshine Advocate 11th January 1952 Page 1.pdf 5347.24 - Police Distrurb Two-Up Players In House - Sunshine Advocate 2nd July 1954 Page 1.pdf 5347.25 - The History Of Two-Up Schools In Melbourne West - The Westsider 26th April 2026 Page 15.pdf two-up, two up

The general public was fascinated by the nightly 'Penguin Parade' on Phillip Island. Many articles have been written about the birds and the Penguin Parade attraction since the 1930s. So many people spent their summer holidays on Phillip Island in one of the many guest houses, then caravan parks and holiday homes and a visit to the Penguin Parade by them and their visitors was very common during their holidays. Articles tended to be a mix of basic penguin behavior information and anthropomorphic descriptions. Accompanying photographs were almost invariably taken by flashlight (now illegal), or of penguins taken from their burrows during daylight hours for photo opportunities. The article provides evidence of the level of knowledge about Phillip Island's Little/Fairy Penguins at this time. (approx 1960?)Photocopy of 2 page magazine article. Black print.
