This copy of a photograph originally published in Ovens and Murray Advertiser 1935 depicts ‘Barrowmen’ Tom Parkinson and Sid Evans with a wheelbarrow. In June 1935, Beechworth's local garage proprietor Tom Parkinson and Sid Evans, licensee of the Post Office Hotel, undertook a wheelbarrow push from Beechworth Post Office to the Chalet at Mount Buffalo. The event originated with a 20-pound wager made on ANZAC Day 1935, with Tom Parkinson betting that he could push Sid Evans from Beechworth to Mount Buffalo in a wheelbarrow in eight days or less. Both men trained for almost two months before the event and in that time gained a sponsorship with Dunlop Tyres, as well as national and international media attention. The event took place from 15th – 23rd June 1935, with Parkinson successfully pushing Evans the 82km distance and 1350 metre (4430ft) altitude in the allotted time. The wheelbarrow push has become known as the ‘Barrowthon’ and has inspired many modern-day ‘Barrowthon’ fundraising events across Australia. This photograph is part of a collection of items held by the Burke Museum that relate to the famous Wheelbarrow Push in 1935.Black and white portrait orientated rectangular reproduced photograph printed on matte photographic paper.barrowmen, barrowthon, wager, mount buffalo, dunlop

Hard cover book. Smoke and Shorty Author: Jack London Publisher: Mills & Boon Date: 1920-1940s Further Information: A plain volume bound in pale blue cloth, with a stuck-on library classification label ("PAT FIC LON") on the spine and no visible date, edition statement, or printer's imprint on the pages shown the copyright/date page. There's no gilt decoration, no illustrated boards, and no dust jacket. fiction"Smoke and Shorty," first published in 1920, is a collection of linked short stories by Jack London, not a single continuous novel it follows two Klondike Gold Rush partners, the tenderfoot-turned-sourdough Christopher "Smoke" Bellew and his grizzled sidekick "Shorty," through a series of adventures in the frozen North. It is actually the second half of London's larger Smoke Bellew story-cycle: the first batch of stories, covering Smoke's initiation into the North, had already appeared in the 1912 volume Smoke Bellew, and this volume collects the remaining six tales to complete the series: "The Story of the Little Man," "The Hanging of Cultus George," "The Mistake of Creation," "A Flutter in Eggs," "The Town-site for Tra-lee," and "The Wonder of Woman." These stories mix comic set-pieces such as a wager over an omelette and a real-estate swindle with harsher tales of survival, justice, and hardship on the trail, all set against the Klondike Gold Rush backdrop that London knew firsthand from his own 1897–98 prospecting trip.warrnambool, shipwrecked-coast, flagstaff-hill, flagstaff-hill-maritime-museum, maritime-museum, shipwreck-coast, flagstaff-hill-maritime-village, shipwrecked-artefact, book, smoke and shorty, jack london, warrnambool mechanics’ institute, pattison collection, warrnambool library, ralph eric pattison, corangamite regional library service, warrnambool city librarian, mechanics’ institute library, victorian library board, warrnambool books and records, warrnambool children’s library, mills & boon
