The Redex Reliability Trial 1953 -The first Redex round-Australia reliability trial covered of 6,500 miles (10,500 km), and had a first prize of £1,000. It attracted both amateur and professional drivers in a variety of cars. The route passed through Brisbane, Rockhampton, Townsville, Darwin, Alice Springs, Adelaide and Melbourne before returning to Sydney and attracted much public interest. At the time the idea of driving huge distances around the country in ordinary cars was novel and the logistics were challenging. In many parts of the country there simply wasn’t adequate accommodation or suitably located refuelling stops. The Shell Company facilitated the race by placing petrol dumps along the 5000 km route between Townsville and Adelaide. The race began at the Sydney Showground on 30 August when 192 cars left at three-minute intervals. Of the twenty top finalists, two thirds were sponsored. Ken Tubman and John Marshall won the trial in a Peugeot 203.

Photograph, Adelaide Trial day, September 1985
After being set up as a static display in the Hopwood Gardens the P.S.Adelaide was fully restored then returned to the Murray river as an operational paddle steamer.This picture was taken of her testing the engines/boilers under full steam after her restoration. In this photograph she is travelling down river past the historic Port of Echuca, and the paddle steamer Pevensey.Being the oldest wooden hulled paddle steamer in the world, it was important to take her from the static display in Hopwood Garden back to a working paddle steamer in the Murray River.Built in Echuca in 1866, she is the fastest paddle steamer on the river as she has two steam engines in her, 16h.p. each. The paddle steamer Pevensey is also an old paddle steamer, having celebrated her 100th birthday in July 2011. She was built in Moama as the barge Mascot, her 20h.p. steam engine was bought out from England, and she became a paddle steamer in 1911. She starred in a mini-series which was filmed at the historic Port of Echuca in 1982-1983, in which she was renamed Philadelphia.Sepia photograph of P.S.Adelaide under full steam heading down river past the historic wharf. In the foreground is seen the paddle steamer Pevensey. As can be seen on her name board there is also the name Philadelphia. In the centre of the river in front of the Adelaide can be seen a modern speed boat, quite a contrast to the old historic paddle steamers.Trials day 10 Sept 1985 -

The FJ Holden is iconic in Australian motoring history. It was made in Australia by Holden from 1953 to 1956. During the 1950s, Holden dominated the Australian car market and by 1958 sales accounted for over 40 per cent of total car sales in Australia.

On the far side of the road are onlookers of men, women and one child standing on a wide nature strip. One man is taking photos. The houses behind are obscured by high hedges, but appear to be Californian bungalows, one with a large palm tree in its front garden.redex reliability trial, 1953, fj holden, whitehorse road, mont albert -
Port of Echuca
Photograph, Adelaide Trial day, September 1985
The paddle steamer Adelaide was sitting on the riverbank in Hopwood gardens after being taken from the water after her use as a steamer bringing timber into the sawmill. Being an old historic boat it was important for her to be returned to the river before she deteriorated on the bank. Money was raised to restore her, our shipwright Kevin Hutchinson, along with others, did the work to bring her back to a fully operational paddle steamer. She was tested under full steam, as can be seen in this photograph, then she was recommissioned by Prince Charles and Lady Dianna. The Etona which is also visible in this picture, was built in 1898 in Milang in S.A. You can see the white cross on top of her, which denotes that she was a missionary boat.The paddle steamer Adelaide is the oldest wooden hulled paddle steamer still operating on any river anywhere in the world, she is situated in Echuca, where she was built in 1866. After spending some time as a static display, she was fully restored and is now part of the museum located at the historic Port of Echuca. The P.S.Etona is also visible in this photograph, she is also an old historic paddle steamer, being built in 1898 in Milang in South Australia and used as a missionary boat initially, then being sold as part of a professional fishing fleet, owned by the O'Connor family.Black & white photograph showing the paddle steamer Adelaide under full steam coming up river toward the wharf. On the river bank can be seen the paddle steamer Etona in the foreground,as well as house boats.The Murray River is at a high level in this photograph.Adelaide trials day. 10 Sept.1985 H.Coulson Collection -

P.S.Adelaide was built in 1866 in Echuca Victoria,has 2 x 16 h.p. steam engines, and is the fastest paddle steamer on the Murray River. She is also the oldest wooden hulled paddle steamer still operating in the world. She has led a colourful life, being owned by Murray Downes homestead, sold onto the Murray River sawmills, used as a static display in Hopwood Garden, fully restored by our shipwright Kevin Hutchinson and returned to the Murray River with the Shire of Campaspe now being her owner. Prince Charles and Lady Diana came out from England to re-launch her.Being the oldest wooden hulled paddle steamer in the world it was important that she be restored and returned to the water. As is commonly know if a red gum boat is left on the river bank it will eventually deteriorate, so returning her to the River was essential.Coloured photograph showing the paddle steamer Adelaide in the centre of the frame. She is seen at the dry dock area of the river. On board are passengers taking a cruise for her first day after being restored as a working paddle steamer.

Photograph, Adelaide trial day, September 1985
The P.S.Adelaide was built in Echuca in 1866 and was used to bring timber into the Murray River Sawmill. When she was replaced by rail and road transport she was removed from the river and set up as a static display in Hopwood Gradens for the tourists and locals to admire. Local men and women knew of her value as an old historic paddle steamer and knew that she needed to be returned to the rive or she would literally fall apart at the seams. The funds were raised, restoration was done and she was returned to the river. This photograph was taken with her under full steam, travelling up the river to test out her boilers/engines. She is the only paddle steamer in Echuca with two steam engines, 16h.p. each.As the paddle steamer Adelaide is the oldest wooden hulled paddle steamer it was important that she be fully restored and put back in the water so she would not deteriorate beyond repair. Now that she is back in the water and is an operating vessel she holds the title of being the oldest wooden hulled paddle steamer still operating in the world. She is now part of our museum.Black & white photograph showing the P.S.Adelaide under full steam in the middle of the Murray River September 1985. To the side of the paddle steamer can be seen house boats moored. The river is at a relatively high level in this shot.

Kew Historical Society IncProgramme - Theatre Programme, Trial and Error / by Kenneth Horne, 1958
From the early 1950s, the Kew Repertory Players performed more substantial, if less spectacular fare in the Recreation Hall, and later in the new Kew City Hall, after the former’s demolition in 1960. Their repertoire ranged from plays by Noel Coward to J.B. Priestley. Many of their programmes, the earliest from 1953, and the last from 1965, form part of our collection.Arthur Henry Dear was an employee of the City of Kew, acting as Hall Keeper of the Kew Recreation Hall in Wellington Street, and later the new Kew City Hall in Cotham Road. The Arthur Dear Collection contains memorabilia - tickets, programmes, invitations - as well as his identification badge. Items in the collection dates from the 1940s to the 1970s. The Kew Recreation Hall (Wellington Street) and later the Kew City Hall (Cotham Road) were major locations in suburban Melbourne in the postwar period for civic and private events including theatre productions and exhibitions. The Arthur Dear Collection (in conjunction with the scrapbooks compiled by Marion Tilley) provide a comprehensive snapshot of performing arts in Kew during the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. The collection includes valuable data about performances, performers, directors etc., during this period.

Ephemera, Chatham Primary School Fathers' Club 'Trial by Jury' programme, 16/11/1929
The program describes the performance as 'original burlesque' and was written, composed and produced by A E Woffinden and A W Sutton, members of the Chatham Fathers' Club, to raise money for the school. There were 250 programs printed at a cost of one pound fifteen shillings. This performance starred 21 of the fathers with Mr W Crellin as the only female character, Miss Eileen Flapper. The Chatham Fathers' Club became renowned locally for the quality of its performances, repeats being given to other community organisations. In the publication 'Chatham Past & Present: A Patchwork of People' there is also a photo of the cast taken in the quadrangle of the school. The original program and photo were lent to the school at the time of the 70 year reunion in 1997 by Mrs Jean Lacy (nee Walker), whose father took part as a member of the jury. Many of the performers were also in the formal photo of the Father's Club, taken in February 1928 on the front steps of the school. The original hangs in the school entry foyer and is reproduced in 'A Patchwork of People: Chatham Past and Present'. In relation to names, these are better identified and the following identifications have been reached by referencing this and the 1931 electoral roll. The geographic spread of addresses reflects that when Chatham opened in August 1927, surrounding schools were overcrowded and some families chose to relocate their children. Albert Ernest Woffinden (manufacturer) lived at 14 Banool Road, Surrey Hills. Alfred William Sutton (clerk) lived at 528 Whitehorse Road, Surrey Hills. Mr A Davidson - not found in electoral roll. Walter Dallas Kinross (mechanic) lived at 72 Empress Road, Surrey Hills. Gilbert Leslie (Bert) Rae (sales) lived at 63 Empress Road, Surrey Hills. Mr Joseph P Braddick (mechanic) lived at 1 Northcote Avenue, Canterbury; now Balwyn (NB/ Name is miss-spelt Braddock in the program). Norman Patrick Smart (bt opr) lived at 61 Sir Garnet Road, Surrey Hills. Henry Albert Wysham (show card writer) lived at 9 Northcote Avenue, Canterbury. Mr Sidney Bessant (labourer) lived at 191 Mont Albert Road, Canterbury. William Morrison (teacher) lived at 37 Chatham Road, Canterbury. William Charles Crellin (breadcarter) lived at 59 Empress Road, Surrey Hills. Mr F Parsons - taken as Fred Parsons (bricklayer) lived at 2 Kaarumba Grove, Balwyn. Mr MacDougal (incorrectly spelt in program) is Dougall MacDougall (gas collector) lived at 5 Wells Street, Surrey Hills. Mr A V Webb - not found. Mr McKie - not found. Victor Harold Theodore Clow (civil servant) lived at 4 Talbot Avenue, Balwyn; listed as T. Clow. Mr M Walker (donor's father) not found in electoral roll for 1931; thought to have lived in Sir Garnet Road. Mr McLeod - a number listed in the 1931 electoral roll. Richard Frost (carriage builder) lived at 341 Mont Albert Road, Surrey Hills. Mr Allen - a number listed in the 1931 electoral roll. Mr J Tulloch - not found in the 1931 electoral roll. This is an example of 'home-spun' entertainment and creativity of the era when the sense of community was very real. It is an example of the fundraising efforts undertaken by school communities to provide 'extras' that would later be regarded as 'basics'. For many years the sense of community in this part of Surrey Hills revolved around Chatham school, the Benson Street Methodist Church and the football club, located at the Canterbury Recreation Ground.A photocopy of the programme for the Chatham Primary School Fathers' Club "Trial by Jury" performance on 16 November 1929.

Warrnambool and District Historical Society Inc.Ledger, Trial Balances, Swinton, Early 1950s
This ledger comes from the Warrnambool firm of Swinton Pty Ltd. It contains the business trial balances for the years 1953 to 1980. William and Ann Swinton migrated to Australia in 1854 and for a decade William Swinton worked as a builder and carpenter in the Warrnambool area, erecting many buildings including the Wangoom Presbyterian Church. In 1865 he opened a store in Timor Street Warrnambool, selling groceries, china and glassware and hardware. By 1888 the business was known as William Swinton and Sons. Branch stores were opened in Cudgee, Wangoom, Nullawarre, West Warrnambool and South Warrnambool. After William Swinton died his son Robert became the first managing director of Swintons Pty Ltd. In 1934 the business split with George Swinton and Sons selling furnishings, clothing and glassware and Swintons Pty Ltd selling seeds, hardware and produce. Today the Swinton family still operates a furniture and bedding shop in Timor Street. This ledger is of considerable interest as it gives important information about the operations of the Warrnambool firm of Swintons Pty Ltd for the years 1953 to 1980. This information will be useful to researchers. The current Swinton shop in Timor Street is the oldest family business in Warrnambool and, with the Swinton name associated with businesses in Timor Street for 152 years, it is amongst the oldest family businesses in Australia. This is a ledger with an orange-coloured cover which is partly detached from its binding and somewhat scuffed. The pages are white with printed red and blue lines. The entries are handwritten in blue and black ink. ‘27’ (on spine) swinton family warrnambool, history of warrnambool -
