AbstractHistoryArchive Description

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)
