Australia & New Zealand 1910. A well written Edwardian journal recording a six month trip by Englishman William Lucas, containing over 75 loosely inserted or tipped-in pieces of original printed ephemera collected on the trip, written in two journals in ink in a neat hand on 81 and 97 pages respectively on the rectos only, the first journal concerning Australia, the second New Zealand, all pages present, a few detached and creased, the loosely inserted ephemera including hotel receipts & business cards, picture house programmes, a Chinese laundry price list and receipt, a signed permit to visit the Victorian Railways workshop at Melbourne, 2 Parramatta Ferry tickets, Upper Cove Ferry ticket, 4 Melbourne tram tickets, Barracluff’s Ostrich Farm business card and postcard, printed menu cards, luggage tags and tickets, Blackheath School of Arts membership form, Medlow Bath ticket, New Zealand Shipping Co.

William Lucas (born 1844 Clapham) was a publishers agent who, at the age of 66 and presumably after retirement, set off on a six month trip to Australia and New Zealand aboard the steamship “Ruahine” arriving in Melbourne on 30 October 1910 and finding the city full of visitors for the Melbourne Cup which Lucas attends “The sight was well worth the money, there was plenty of seats under the trees and many husbands bought their wives and families for a picnic...every hotel was packed and they don’t seem to mind what they spend”. On a visit to “The Book Lover” bookshop he meets the wife of the influential socialist Henry Hyde Champion (1859-1928) and is invited to meet Hyde at his house where he tells Lucas about the Trafalgar Day riots and his subsequent prison sentence. Lucas also visits the Melbourne Federal Houses of Parliament and sees Billy Hughes (1862-1952) speak, and describes visits to many Melbourne suburbs including St Kilda, Mornington, the tents at Mordialloc, Spotswood Glass Works, etc. In Sydney he takes several boat tours and visits the spot where Lady Fitzroy (wife of Governor Sir Charles Fitzroy) was killed - “while I was looking at the monument a young man came up, he was the son of a farmer and...told me his father said Sir Charles Fitzroy was driving the carriage and he was mad drunk at the time...Sir Charles carried on with the landlord’s daughter while his wife was laying there [dying] and it became such a scandal that the landlord kicked him into the street soon after”. Lucas is also told an interesting story about Sir John Henniker Heaton (1848-1914) who had once worked for the teller’s grandfather in very straightened circumstances. He also observes “surf bathing” at Bondi and Manly beaches and while visiting La Perouse’s memorial enters a nearby aborigine reservation “got talking to one of the men who had a boomerang in his hand, he said he would teach me how to throw it...it rose in the air to about 30 feet and made two complete circles...”. Lucas is very sociable and strikes up converstaions and friendships with many people he meets. He observes the fashion in Sydney for gold dental fillings and starts to incorporate Australian slang in his own journal including swagman, back-blocker, mate, cornstalk, etc. A man at Coogee Bay tells him “Australia was the land for the working classes...the men talk to the bosses not the other way about as in the old country”. He spends Christmas week in the Blue Mountains and enjoys trips organised by butcher Nick Delaney of Blackheath who tells him “one Christmas he sat down to dinner with 25 blacks in Western Australia and there was not another white man within a hundred miles”. Upon arriving in Auckland he observes that the Maori women “after 30 get very fat and tubby, the girls dress in the height of fashion that was in vogue 10 years ago”. He spends some time among the hot geysers and springs at Rotorua and Whakarewarewa and is shown around by Maori guides, describing the Kaka and many Maori people and customs. At Wellington he befriends Mr L.H. Fox, the House Steward of Wellington Hospital, and enjoys many evenings with him playing cribbage. While in Wellington he tours the huge Gear Meat Co. and provides a long description of the industrial process of slaughtering sheep. He finally travels home on the SS Turakina, via Montevideo and Rio de Janeiro, interestingly meeting a Mr Maloney on board who was returning to County Sligo after 37 years in Australia and who knew Ned Kelly and provides a description of Kelly’s capture. Lucas arrives in London on 27 March 1911. (-)
