— Appears in: The Australian Journal , March vol. 31 no. 370 1896; (p. 342) Decline and misadventures of a once splendid, Bourke Street Melbourne hat. Feelings hurt when reduced for sale to 3d. Bought for a squatter's son to wear to school where he is regularly abandoned in a tree trunk rather than make his owner a butt of ridicule. Once taken to school the hat is beaten up and eventually ends up at the dump. Light; lively. (PB)

— Appears in: The Australian Journal , November vol. 31 no. 366 1895; (p. 87-88) Voyage from Melbourne to Tasmania in 1891 is humorously described. Curiosities of passengers and crew; headgear; seasickness; New Year's Eve and resolutions; enthusiastic greeting at Launceston wharf for the Government of South Australia. Amusing if not outstanding.
