Both Brian and I have waited for this day for a very long time! The Francis Hare papers at the University of Melbourne are now available to read online! (Remember, you heard it here first!)
First we just had the new find of a letter that Superintendent Francis Hare wrote regarding the siege, then, while searching for more info on that I stumbled over where the University had finally added in those long-awaited transcriptions.
I am finding what Capt. Standish wrote to Hare to be quite gossipy and of great interest!
I can't do a direct link as the pdf would not open for me (your mileage may vary, though.) How to find it is to go to google and type in
"Municipal Office Maryborough" "Francis Hare Papers"
That should take you to only one entry if you properly used the quotation marks...if you can click on it and have it open, there you are..if it does not open, do as I did and click on "quick view" and it will load as a google document.
WELCOME TO ELEVEN MILE CREEK. Thanks for visiting us. We hope to use this blog to bring news, views, nuggets and musings, some serious, some lighthearted, but all to do with all things associated with Ned Kelly.
