VIOSH has a global reputation for its innovative approach within the field of OHS management. VIOSH had its first intake of students in 1979. At that time the Institution was known as the Ballarat College of Advanced Education. In 1990 it became known as Ballarat University College, then in 1994 as University of Ballarat. It was 2014 that it became Federation University. VIOSH Australia students are safety managers, senior advisors and experienced OHS professionals. They come from all over Australia and industry.

More volunteer army nurses have come from rural Victoria than elsewhere in Australia. One hospital matron who volunteered for the front suring the Boer War wrote. "No one who has experience the satisfaction that arises from such work of this stature...ever cares to go back to the dill routine of earing a living in any othe the other spheres at present open to women." Not much seems to have changed by the Vietnam War. In an inquiry, in 1968, into why army nursing was failing to attract enough recruits, it was revealed that young nurses 'were disappointed at the lack of dramatic nursing opportunities.' Though a dense, turgid tome, the book educates on such things as the misery endured by many army nurses on return to Australia after the two World Wars, who tried to exist on their tiny gratuities only for many to fall into destitution and starvation. The nurses who joined up because they admired 'order and efficiency' soon found that the army is anything but. In WWI and WWII medical personnel were shipped to war zones without accompanying equipment.A newspaper clipping and a photocopy of it, consisting of title, five columns of text and a black and white photo (two photos on the photocopy).

John was a torch bearer in the Torch Relay for the Melbourne Olympic Games of 1956. In order to be selected for the Torch Relay the participants had to be able to run 1 mile (1.61 km) in 7.5 minutes. John was a talented distance runner, winning many distance events in the Wodonga area. He ran his mile of the relay about six miles south of Wodonga on the Hume Highway at 3.00 am on Wednesday 21st November 1956. The relay spanned approximately 20,470 km (including air travel) and involved 3,181 torchbearers across Greece and Australia. The actual Olympic torch left Olympia in Greece on 2nd November 1956 with the first torchbearer being Dionyssios Papathanassopoulos. The relay then covered approximately 20,470 kilometres including air travel and involved 3,181 torchbearers across Greece and Australia. The flame travelled by air to Australia, with stopovers along the way in Istanbul, Basra, Karachi, Calcutta, Bangkok, Singapore, Jakarta arriving in Darwin on 6thNovember 1956. The flame was the transported by Royal Australian Air Force jet bomber to Cairns. The first Australian Torchbearer was Con Verevis, of Greek-born parents, followed by indigenous athlete Anthony Mark. It was carried by 3,181 torchbearer before the Olympic Flame in Melbourne was lit by a 19-year-old middle-distance runner, who lit the cauldron at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on 22nd November 1956.This item is significant because it donated by a Wodonga resident who participated in the Melbourne Olympics Torch Relay near Wodonga.A small replica torch given to participants in the torch relay for the Melbourne Olympic Games of 1956melbourne olympics, john flower wodonga, melbourne olympics torch relay -

Queenscliffe Maritime MuseumPainting - MS Sibajak, Dacre Smyth
... In 1950 the Sibajak was pressed into service to take immigrants to Sydney, Australia, and to pick up repatriates in Jakarta in 1951. In April 1952 she took the route to Quebec, Canada for the first time and the following month was her first voyage to New York. ...The M.S. Sibajak may well have the most varied service of all the post-WWII Dutch immigrant ships. She had ties with the Dutch East Indies before and after the declaration of independence; she served the Allies as a troop transport ship while under the management of the widely-known British shipping company P. & O. As an immigrant ship plying the Atlantic, the Sibajak had as docking points Rotterdam, Quebec and New York. She rounded out her service back in Indonesia before being scrapped in Hong Kong.Mrs B SmythA framed oil painting of the Dutch migrant ship MS SibajakSibajakms sibajak, emigration, dutch migrants
