SUMMARY:Gippsland Pubs
DESCRIPTION:For every day of History Month\, someone in the 50\,000 members of Gippsland History on Facebook will be chasing down and recording one of the Places that Made Us – Gippsland Pubs. From mountain shanties to glorious three-story hotels\, we will be attempting to find and name them all. On the way\, we will prove that pubs were our first public places\, and Gippsland definitely had more pubs than post offices.

SUMMARY:Homes & Hygiene in Marvellous Smellbourne
DESCRIPTION:Those of us living in modern Western cities mostly take personal hygiene for granted. We have access to abundant fresh (and safe) water\, more varieties of soap and other cleaning products then we can possibly need and easy access to a bathroom on a daily basis. Indeed\, the average home in Australia in 2023 apparently had 2.6 bathrooms. That is almost one each! But imagine if we had none of these things. What would daily life be like? \nJoin Margaret Anderson as she examines the grubby realities of life in Melbourne before 1900\, and then charts the changes that the twentieth century brought to homes and hygiene.
