A history of the Victoria Police

A History of the Victoria Police
Robert Haldane
September 1995, $21.95, PB
372 pp., 235 x 154 mm, 51 halftones, 2 maps
Subject: Law/Australian History
ISBN: 0-522-84674-2
Status: Out of print

Beginning in 1853, the Victoria Police Force’s long history is interwoven with Victoria’s social and political history. This revised edition brings the history up to date. A new chapter examines the administration of Kel Glare and ends with the appointment of Neil Comrie. New material deals with the Russell Street bombing, the Hoddle Street shooting, the abduction and murder of Karmein Chan, Coroner Hal Hallenstein’s inquiry into police shootings and the introduction of a more equal ratio of women to men in the Force.

This book was written as a ‘warts and all’ history of the Victoria Police Force with the support and encouragement of the then Chief Commissioner, S. I. (‘Mick’) Miller, who wanted a proper objective history of the force, not a public relations exercise.

Days of Violence is the first detailed account of the Victoria Police Strike which occurred in Melbourne, Australia during October-November 1923 and which to this day remains the only police strike ever to occur in Australia. The strike occurred during an era when police strikes also occurred in England and North America and in this book you will read how a combination of avoidable factors led to the worst breakdown of law and order in Melbourne's history - a unique occasion when the very guardians were provoked into striking by an inept and blundering administration. Led by one Constable - William Thomas Brooks - 636 policeman, more than one-third of the force, went on strike and were sacked, never to be re-employed by the Victoria Police.

During the strike wild mobs took over the streets of Melbourne, three people were killed, trams were overturned, most shops were looted and brawls erupted across the City.

A Herald Sun Weekend review described Days of Violence as 'the most authoritative record of that fateful weekend ... a gripping story filled with drama and emotion'.


Bairnsdale Bowls ClubBBCCover.jpg (17236 bytes)
1901 - 2001: A Centenary History

Robert Haldane
2001, PB
78 pp. plus viii, 248 x 186 mm, illus, notes, bibliog, index,
ISBN: 0-646-41769-X
Available from selected East Gippsland retailers or The Bairnsdale Bowls Club Inc. Cnr. Pearson and Grant Streets, (P.O. Box 1135), Bairnsdale, 3875. Telephone 61-3-5152 3796. Facsimile 61-3-5153 1681. RRP $20.00.

The Bairnsdale Bowls Club was founded in 1901 with an inaugural membership that included the local architect, doctor, solicitor, magistrate, postmaster, minister, storekeepers and sundry other luminaries, like Percy ‘P.B’ Dahlsen the noted doyen of Bairnsdale’s business world. They were all men and all influential in local life and politics.

For this reason Bairnsdale Bowls Club 1901-2001 is almost as much about Bairnsdale as it is about bowls. Along with details about the development of the game, greens, facilities and club champions, this book gives a ‘different’ insight into Bairnsdale the town and its people. Like how the Bowls Club came to squat in land set aside for a Botanical Gardens, thereby setting in train a process that saw the ruination of the gardens and its burgeoning emergence as a conglomeration of sporting and community facilities.

The book also includes information about the formation of other bowls clubs in Gippsland and provides details about such organizations as the East Gippsland Bowls Association.

A good index, bibliography and set of endnotes make this work a useful reference for anyone interested in particular personalities or events during the life of the Club.

Abalone poachers and the resident lighthouse ghost feature in this tale that wends its way through the unique Australian wildlife, Aboriginal middens, shipwrecks and sea creatures that are the magic of East Gippsland's historic Wilderness Coast.
