POSTPONED 26 March - The Devil's Grip
As the echoes of the last of seven shots reverberated around the rolling Barrabool Hills, three generations of the Wettenhall family had come to a tragic end - Darcy, his 23 year old son Guy and his ‘aunt’ Janet Wettenhall were dead. No one could have anticipated the violence of the 1992 murderous spree nor the scandal which emerged in its aftermath. |
|
Darcy was the successor to Rupert Wettenhall, the highly-respected sheepbreeder who created the famous Stanbury corriedale stud. Despite the many personal struggles which he tried so hard to conceal, Darcy had married and had a son, maybe to ensure the future of the Wettenhall name.
Neal Drinnan is the author of “The Devil’s Grip” and drew on his knowledge of Darcy while he was unravelling the complexities of Darcy’s life.
Neal will speak about his book during the March Monthly Talk of the Queenscliffe Historical Museum and will describe how he used for his title, the term describing a genetic flaw in sheep breeding.

27 February - QHM Film Premiere
The premiere of the two films that were created last year, 'Queenscliff Now and Then' and 'A Day at the Museum'. Presented by Ron and Diana Hodgetts who will speak about his memories of the town. Ron moved to Queenscliff with his family in 1941 when his father who had run the Belgave Theatre enlisted as a search light operator and ran a theatre in New Guinea. At war’s end, his father bought the Civic Theatre in the Town Hall as well as the Civic Theatre in Point Lonsdale. |
|
His father prepared Ron for his developing interest in local history when he found a collection of old films dating from 1915 in the ceiling of the Town Hall. These films became the centre piece of the footage regularly shown at the museum and recording activities from the early days of Queenscliff.

The Reality of the First Fleet What people do not know about the first fleet. When, on May 13 1787, Arthur Phillip gives the signal to weigh anchor to sail to what was the ends of the earth, he soberly predicted that the new colony would prove to be the most valuable acquisition that Great Britain would have ever made. This is historical fact, but history comes alive with the story of individuals. |

Benito the Pirate – fact or fiction. Does it matter? Is there pirate’s treasure buried on the Bellarine? On 28 March, our speaker will be the world famous artist, illustrator and writer, Robert Ingpen AM. Robert has written and illustrated many historical books. His talk will be “Benito the pirate – fact or fiction. Does it matter?” |
|
In 1973 Robert was researching ancient fishing stories for his work with the United Nations in Peru. He looked into reports telling that at the time of the War of South American Independence, wealthy Lima was in danger. Solid gold jewels, golden calves and bullion were to be shipped to Spain for safety. These were loaded on the sailing vessel, the Mary Dyer. A few hours before sailing time, the crew mutinied, slaughtered guards and churchmen, and sailed off in the treasure ship, with Benito in charge. Unable to return to Spain or Peru, this treasure, is said to be buried on the Bellarine, perhaps Queenscliffe. This mystery led to treasure hunts and excavations, which left marks on the landscape.

Cole built the first private wharf on the Yarra, known as Cole’s Wharf, and developed shipping facilities in Port Phillip, providing sea transport both locally and to other colonies. He established the town of St Leonards on the Bellarine Peninsula, he was a leader in the development of Melbourne and was a respected politician, serving on the Legislative Council for 20 years.
Although he had seven children, none married and his memory died out with them. This talk provides the opportunity to rediscover this virtually forgotten patriarch of early Melbourne.

"The Mystery of the William Salthouse" with David Bayne
The story of a little known wreck.
How the William Salthouse, which sunk off Queenscliff with the largest known collection of
Victorian casks, lay hidden for 140 years invites speculation. Moreover, the research on
water lead to intrigue on land. Most importantly, this research shows how social values have
changed and perhaps we should take care not to measure people’s actions in 1841 by today’s
values.

"The Story of the Ill-Fated Burke & Wills Expedition of 1860" with Barry Barton Barry Barton, a former long time teacher at Melbourne Grammar, took many of his students on the treks of the early explorers. He has studied the explorations of Burke and Wills in depth and followed in their footsteps. How could an expedition so elaborately fitted out, collapse in chaos? How could the men die of starvation when there was an abundance of bush tucker and when the local Yandruwandha people were only too willing to assist them? Barry, will tell us the story of why, one hundred and fifty-seven years later, we are still talking about this ill-fated expedition. Sunday 15th October "50th Anniversary Book Launch" by The Hon. Ted Baillieu To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Queenscliffe Historical Museum a beautiful and historic book of the 50 most significant items in the Museum will be launched by the Honourable Ted Baillieu on Sunday 15th October at 5.15 pm in the Coach House at the Vue Grand, Queenscliff.

Thursday, 28th September "Alexander Skene" by Geelong Historian - Jennifer Bantow Alexander Skene became Surveyor General of Victoria from 1869 to 1886 following 14 years in Geelong where he designed several notable early buildings and carried out town planning throughout the area including Queenscliff. He was born in Aberdeen and educated at Aberdeen University before arriving as a young man in Melbourne in 1839 where he left his mark. Geelong historian Jennifer Bantow who for many years has been involved with the National Trust as a result of her interest in heritage architecture, has also been greatly interested in Alexander Skene. She will tell us the story behind this influential man and the huge input he played on the Bellarine Peninsula during his time in charge of surveying this part of Victoria. Thursday, 24th August "William Buckley" with Jim Wilson Jim Wilson is a local historian from Barwon Heads and is also something of an expert on William Buckley and will speak about his latest discoveries. Jim is always digging up new information about historic characters of interest and Will certainly fits that category. We know that in October 1803 Buckley successfully escaped from Sullivan Bay settlement near Sorrento and made his way around to Barwon Heads where he settled in with the Wathaurung people and immersed himself into their culture remaining with them for several years. He later became an interpreter and mediator between European and indigenous people. Thursday, 27th July "Our first sea pilot Captain George Tobin-1839" with Pam McGrath Pam McGrath is a local Geelong historian and descendant [by marriage] of George Tobin and is planning to write a book about this early local Queenscliff pioneer whom she has found fascinating during her research. She will tell us about this courageous ship’s master who, in search of a new career, requested permission from Governor Gipps in Sydney to commence piloting operations for shipping in Port Phillip Bay. Tobin soon began the first piloting service on the condition that it incurred no expense to the Government! Hence he became Port Phillip’s first licensed sea pilot at Shortland’s Bluff in the year 1839, and the rest as they say…is not only history, but a fascinating story! Thursday, 22nd June "Charles Cheney Simpson 1835 - 1892" with Bill Brown A fascinating character in early Queenscliff and one of Bill's favourites. He came to Queenscliff in 1859 and started a business as a druggist, an interesting term these days. As well as being the local chemist, he was a town Councillor and Mayor, land owner, a Mason , treasurer of St George’s Anglican Church and on some occasions the coroner. His personal life was even more interesting, involved in the Library and the Bowling Club he was also an avid diarist and a keen photographer. As a result he left us with a written and pictorial record of early Queenscliff. Thursday, 25th May Point Lonsdale to Queenscliff Beach: How it has changed. Local historian MARY GRUNDY will talk about the history of the beach from Point Lonsdale around to the cut at Queenscliff.

It has offered an atmosphere of peace and rest, both physically and spiritually, from education, to holidays for children to adult spirituality. Thursday 28th July, 2016 The Significance of Fisherman’s Flat Speaker: Mrs Carmen Bell, Queenscliff When the township of Queenscliff was founded, the area now known as Fisherman’s Flat was just a mud flat which extended to the North as a spit. Today this area is historically significant, representing that part of Queenscliff which in the 1850s was specifically allocated for fishermen under the Fisheries Act. Fisherman’s Flat’s subdivision pattern differs from the rest of the township, and the precinct is clearly located as quite separate from the broader township. This demonstrates the physical and social separation that existed in the 19th Century between the fishing community and other local residents. Carmen Bell who lives on Beach Street, has been interested in this significant area since she first visited Queenscliff in the late 1980s. June 23rd "History of St. Georges and St. James in the Borough" Speaker: Dr. Carole Hamilton-Barwick Dr. Carole Hamilton-Barwick will delve into the history of these two great churches.

Speaker: Mr Barry Barton Mr Barry Barton, former Melbourne Grammar teacher, and brother-in-law of Diana Sawyer, was a primary school teacher of Barry’s that fired his interest in following the routes of the many 18thC expeditions into Central Australia by explorers such as Captain Charles Sturt, John McDouall Stuart and of course Bourke and Wills. For over 40 years, Barry has followed these routes, driving as close as possible to the original ones taken by the explorers, whilst escorting school groups into ‘treading in the steps that the explorers trod’. A keen photographer, Barry will illustrate his talk with a collection of relevant photos taken at significant camp sites and terrain over which Charles Sturt and his party walked or rode.
