Stawell is a provincial city situated close to the Grampians mountain range and the title of the music reflects Mrs Wharrie’s interest in the area. ...Stawell is a provincial city situated close to the Grampians mountain range and the title of the music reflects Mrs Wharrie’s interest in the area. ...This is a waltz piece of music with words and music by Ruby Wharrie. Mrs Wharrie is best known for her doll-making business which she operated in Stawell, Victoria with her husband and son. Mrs Wharrie was the designer of the dolls which were made in the 1940s and 50s. One doll was named ‘Shurl’ to cash in on the popularity of the child actress Shirley Temple and the consequent popularity of the Shirley Temple doll. Stawell is a provincial city situated close to the Grampians mountain range and the title of the music reflects Mrs Wharrie’s interest in the area. ‘My Grampian rose’ is a person and the theme of the music is the fulfilment of love - ‘I am coming back to you, my little Grampian Rose’. This music is of interest as it has been written by a person who lived in western Victoria. It has Ruby Wharrie’s signature inside the front cover, making it more valuable. It is also an example of the sweet and sentimental music produced during the 1940s and 50s as a foil to the sadness and brutality of the world war. This is sheet music of four pages (two pages printed back to back) with the printed music on three pages and the cover having a multi-coloured illustration of the Grampians mountain range in Victoria. It is in good condition and has an old catalogue number ‘94’ on the back page.

Bendigo Historical Society Inc.Literary work - Fortuna - Bendigo - A Demographic Portrait of A Victorian Provincial Town - extract from a book by Charles Fahey, 1881-1901
... This document provides a demographic analysis of Bendigo, a Victorian provincial city, during the late nineteenth century. ...This document provides a demographic analysis of Bendigo, a Victorian provincial city, during the late nineteenth century. ...Charles Fahey taught history at La Trobe University until his retirement in 2018. He has written on the history of Victorian gold mining, Victorian agriculture and working in Melbourne. This document provides a demographic analysis of Bendigo, a Victorian provincial city, during the late nineteenth century. Historical demographers have studied broad Australian population trends, but local studies like this one have been limited by inadequate records. Recent access to detailed manuscript birth, death, and marriage records allows for a more granular local demographic analysis. The study combines these records with published statistics and traditional sources (e.g., diaries). The paper examines the origins and occupations of Bendigo's late nineteenth-century immigrants.It analyzes population fluctuations and migration patterns, especially out-migration during economic downturns. Marriage patterns, birth and death rates, illegitimacy rates, bridal pregnancies, and de facto relationships are also explored.Population Bendigo experienced significant population growth from 28,577 in 1871 to 35,584 in 1881, driven by a mining boom and economic prosperity. The late 1880s saw a decline in mining yields, leading to economic depression, unemployment, and a population decrease to 34,089 by 1891 as residents left the city. The city's development and demographic changes are closely tied to the fortunes of its mining industry, reflecting broader patterns of boom and bust in Australian provincial towns during this era. These points collectively illustrate how economic cycles and migration shaped Bendigo's demographic landscape in the late nineteenth century.Fortuna - Bendigo 1881-1901 - A Demographic Portrait of A Victorian Provincial Town - extract from a book by Charles Fahey This item contains the following: 11217.55a Pages 88 to 107 of his book - Contact BHS for detailsnon-fictionbendigo, fortuna, george lansell, charles fahey -
