Once again, Gerry Robinson has been busy with his next project.  The greater area of Melbourne has a number suburbs named after flowers, shrubs or trees.  This time, Gerry is linking the horticulture and the history of these suburbs by taking us through this fascinating subject.  A night not to be missed.

28th July, 8pm at Room 4, Federation Estate, Greenwood Avenue, Ringwood.  All welcome.

A historical bus tour of the area (this was so popular with the East Ringwood weekend)

A Recollections Book (we need more relatives of pioneers or orchardists here)

School Activities

Tree Plantings

 Already Heathmont had its turn in 2005 and 2006 (48 Courts), then East Ringwood in 2008.

    Children of the Early Licensees of the Coach and Horses Hotel

    We will devote the  whole evening to Anita  Barker’s study of this  amazing subject.  Anita is in the final  stages of submitting a  thesis, to complete her  university studies. The  historical society has been working with Anita  in gathering material.

    The difficulty is that children are not recorded  in voter’s rolls or  many other similar types  of references. They are the forgotten people.

    As well, the licensees  only stayed in the area  for a few years, before  moving on, so little is  written in our newspapers about them, particularly  for an institution  such as a hotel.

    As an offshoot to this study , Anita  “unearthed” a previously  undiscovered area  of children’s toys. The  54 boxes of material  removed from the site,  due to Eastlink, will be  used to piece together  the solutions to mysteries.

    There has been no  similar research done in  Australia, or even  worldwide, on this subject.  Anita has gone to  extraordinary efforts to  delve into details.

    This is a meeting not to  be missed. It will not  be repeated.
