Bendigo Historical Society Inc.Letter - Michele Matthews Collection: PHD Research - Relief during the great depression, Oct 1934
... She respectfully asks Mrs Staples if she could help by providing clothes, explaining that her children do not have suitable summer clothing and that she cannot afford to buy anything for them. ...She respectfully asks Mrs Staples if she could help by providing clothes, explaining that her children do not have suitable summer clothing and that she cannot afford to buy anything for them. ...Dr Michele Matthews has been a local and social historian for nearly three decades since she first used correspondence held by the then Bendigo City Council for her Honours thesis. She is an ardent advocate for the use of local history records to tell Victorian and Australian history from a grassroots perspective. Michele’s MA thesis, ‘A forgotten “Father” of Federation: Sir John Quick 1852‑1911’ (2003), and her PhD thesis, ‘Survivors, schemes, Samaritans and shareholders: the impact of the Great Depression on Bendigo and District 1925‑1935’ (2007), both drew heavily on Bendigo and district records. Michele Matthews Collection: PHD Research - Relief during the great depression This item includes the following documents: 8672.86a The document is a handwritten letter dated 30 October 1934, written from 84 Harrison Street, Iron Bark, from M. O'Brien, and addressed to Mayoress Mrs Staples. The writer explains that she is in difficult financial circumstances and is unable to provide adequate clothing for her children. She respectfully asks Mrs Staples if she could help by providing clothes, explaining that her children do not have suitable summer clothing and that she cannot afford to buy anything for them. She mentions that Mrs Bennett had previously been very kind by sending flannel clothing and winter shoes for the children, for which she was very grateful. Encouraged by that earlier generosity, she asks whether Mrs Staples might also be able to assist with clothing, noting that the children are now at an age when they especially need good clothes. The letter closes with a polite expression of gratitude and hope that Mrs Staples will be able to help. The writer signs the letter "Mrs O'Brien" (the surname is somewhat difficult to read due to the handwriting). A note at the bottom of the page provides additional context, stating that the writer had already explained her situation to Mrs Bennett. It also lists the ages of the children as approximately 12 years, 10 years, 4 years, and 3½ years, indicating that the request concerns clothing for four young children.bendigo, michele matthews collection, letters seeking support in bendigo during the great depression 1932 to 1934 -

The Alpine regions accumulate high levels of potential fuel (undergrowth and small shrubs) which if not reduced has the potential of breaking into a dangerous bush fire. The men in this photograph are not wearing any protective clothing. Their visibility to other firefighters is severely reduced by smoke. This photo is a snap shot in time when Occupational Health and Safety Legislation was in its infancy stage.This photograph details the fire prevention activities in the Victorian Alps under the management of the SEC Victoria. The level of undergrowth within the Australian bush needs to be kept under control to avoid the possibility of lightning strikes (during summer storms) igniting dry forests resulting in a major bush fire. Controlled fires within alpine regions are required not only to reduce the level of dry undergrowth but also to provide those various plant species requiring fire for regenerate. This method was used by the original inhabitants (Aborigines) as limited scrub fires were used to flush game and bird population for eating with the side benefit to those plants requiring the fire for regeneration.This black and white photograph shows an Alpine Fire Prevention technique of "burning off" low levels of scrub.

These boots are very significant to the Kiewa Valley because the mark a period of early farming within the Kiewa Valley and Bogong High Plains as they were worn by Fred Roper who comes from one of the farming pioneering families of Tawonga. These boots were used when mustering the families cattle up to the Bogong High Plains for summer grazing and also around his farm in Tawonga when riding his horses. They were donated by his great grand daughter Leonie Roper in 2011, therefore the manufacturing of these boots could be anything from the late 1880's to early 1900's.

Thick cloth or gloves protected their hands from the hot irons. The handle was removed from the cool iron and re- attached to remove the hot iron from the fire. The cool iron was replaced on the fire or stove to heat again. These irons were cleaned with steel wool to prevent them marking the material. If the iron was too hot the material would scorch. Most homes set aside one day for ironing and some large households had an ironing room with a special stove designed to heat irons.
