THE NAMING OF GARDENVALE RAILWAY STATION, MELBOURNE, VIC., AUST.

Journal by itellya

Believe it or not,I chanced upon this article while I was trying to establish the identity of T.Hutchins who is listed on the Mornington Roll of Honour (W.W.1). A huge list of names was suggested,many revolving around Tommy Bent, who was the Victorian Premier and Brighton's best-known identity. The journalist who wrote the article analysing the merits of the suggestions had an excellent grasp of history and it's a thoroughly enjoyable and interesting read.

I will not be correcting the digitised text to paste here because that would be a huge task and I don't have time, but the newspaper itself is very easy to read. The local historical society has obviously not come across this so please let them know if you live in the area. Graham Whitehead,the City of Kingston Historian might be interested too although it's a bit out of area.

Itellya is researching local history on the Mornington Peninsula and is willing to help family historians with information about the area between Somerville and Blairgowrie. He has extensive information about Henry Gomm of Somerville, Joseph Porta (Victoria's first bellows manufacturer) and Captain Adams of Rosebud.
