Your members may be interested in a new book, “From Elisa with Advice & Kangaroos” about children’s book pioneer. Elisabeth MacIntyre (1916 – 2004) — called Australia’s best-known picture book writer and illustrator by The Sydney Morning Herald in 1966 — travelled the outback the hard way, won awards for her children’s books and wrote YA novels set in three different countries. Yet nothing in her life came easily.


Elisa’s story is about finding ways to thrive despite the hardships she faced: an absent father, an incompatible marriage, never much money and – perhaps her biggest challenge – profound hearing loss. Her struggles to gain both creative and personal self-confidence are told here in her own words, with humour and compassion, and illustrated by her distinctive and charming artwork. Filled with insights and advice about art, creativity and living life to the fullest, this is a fascinating memoir of an unconventional, adventurous and uniquely Australian life.

Hi, I’m Mike,


I just noticed that there is the “server error 500” appearing on some of your website pages. I’m pretty positive that those types of errors won’t be appreciated by your customers and can significantly reduce the number of clicks from the Google.


I’ve decided to help and created the document for you with a few screenshots of errors and also indicated the links to the pages where they appear, hope it helps.


Here is the link to the doc:

Hi HCV! I wanted to let you know about something I’m doing on my blog for Women’s History Month. For several years, I have been interviewing Melbourne women who protested against the Vietnam War and conscription. This year, I am posting an excerpt from different interviews every day in March: https://randomalex.net/2022/02/28/womens-history-month-series/ . As you can see, I’ve used your banner (with attribution). I wondered if this might be of interest to your members.

Hi,

I was just wondering whether you could please give me any information about the purposed dates for 2019. I would love to bring my History group to the Warrnambool tour. If you could please let me know that would be amazing.

I would like to register to attend: Curating the ANZAC Centenaries: War, Memory and the Museum. 13-November 2018

Hello. I am a screenwriter attempting to depict the mid-1970s of suburban Melbourne. It is mainly based on Footscray but also some is vaguely based in a rural Victorian town a couple of hours south-west of Melbourne.

I have been researching for a couple of years and scripted what I am aiming to be a 55-minute pilot episode for a television series.

During this period, I have most recently become a working member and volunteer of the Footscray Historical Society. The resources l have enjoyed used include the State Library of Victoria, the Public Records Office and the Immigration Museum. I have also conducted several interviews to get anecdotes to cover my bases on my research pursuit. Topics include broad facets of the period like immigtation stories, pop-media, social conventions like mens-only bars and employment/economic situations.

As explain I have a passion for history and look to see my project progress. Please provide some advice or contact details about what resources are available regarding creative writers and/or historians who can help me.

II’m making my book Student Revolt (1989) available for free on-line via my blog, in case your members might be interested. I still receive occasional enquiries about it, but it has been out of print for decades. https://c21stleft.wordpress.com/2015/09/05/student-revolt-la-trobe-university-1967-to-1973/ Regards, Barry York
