Charles Griffith was born in Kildare, Ireland in 1808. He studied at Trinity College, Dublin acquiring a B.A. in 1829 and an M.A. in 1832 before being admitted to practice as barister. In 1840 he emigrated to Australia arriving in the Port Phillip District in November 1840. Soon after arriving he and his friend James Moore formed a business partnership and acquired land in the Parwan Valley near Bacchus Marsh. This land had been in the possession of a Mr. McKenzie who agreed to sell his land and sheep to Griffith and Moore. The property they acquired came to be known as Glenmore. The partnership with James Moore lasted until 1848. In 1846, whilst in Ireland, Griffith married Miss Jane Catherine Magee, then returned to Glenmore and later took his nephew, Molesworth Richard Greene, into partnership, which arrangement proved to be long and prosperous. In 1857, they bought runs at Mount Hope and Mount Pyramid, which they kept until the days of free selection. Griffith led an active and successful public life. He was a member of the new Victorian Legislative Council in 1851, and was later an elected representative of the Legislative Assembly 1853-1859. He occupied many important public positions, including that of magistrate for Bacchus Marsh. Griffith was a devout Anglican and hosted Bishop Charles Perry at his station near Bacchus Marsh in 1849. He died in 1863 at his home in South Yarra. The diary is a detailed account of Griffith's voyage from Ireland to Australia and of his early months in Melbourne. After this it covers his early months establishing himself on his property, Glenmore, near Bacchus Marsh. The timeline of the diary stretches across 1840 and 1841. Griffith was an educated gentleman who made detailed observations about the environment he found himself in. The diary is particularly notable for Griffith's commentary about his interactions with people from first nations, and reveals some of his thinking about Colonial policies directed at first nations people. The diary also includes some sketches of individual first nations people along with some sketches of flora and fauna. The final part of the diary includes a glossary of Aboriginal words Griffith was familiar with. Digital file. PDF format. Digitised by State Library Victoria from photocopied pages of a hand-written transcription of the original diaries written by Charles J.

non-fictionIn 1877 John O'Brien selected Negoura at Swifts Creek, and the O'Brien name has been prominent and well-known in the district since. Pat O'Brien is the third son of John's eldest grandson, Jack (dec) and Clare O'Brien, who have farmed at "Fernlea", Ensay since 1948. He grew up and went to school in Ensay and then to boarding school at St Patrick's College, Sale. From 1952 to 1965, he worked in the Ensay district as a shearer, contract fencer and general farm hand. He was actively involved in community affairs becoming president of the Ensay Tennis Club for three years and was a foundation member of the Ensay Bowling Club. For 14 years he played for the Ensay Football team and for seven of those years was a delegate to the Omeo District Football League. After leaving Ensay in 1965 he spent two years in Bairnsdale before moving to Morwell and later Traralgon in the Latrobe Valley. After leading the highly successful Save our Shire campaign from 1983-86, he served two terms on the Shire of Traralgon, becoming president in 1990. In 1959, Pat married Ann Smyth whose forebears, the O'Rourkes, moved from the Monaro in New South Wales to Gelantipy in the 1830's. So they are both true-blue Gippslanders. They have seven children and nine grandchildren to date and now live in Merimbula. Conscious that much of the history of his family, neighbours and friends is being lost, he wrote this book because he believes that the stories and characters mentioned are part of our heritage and should not be forgotten.
