Forget the image of a genteel, parasol-wielding lady gliding through Bendigo! In 1852, 20-year-old Ellen, the daughter of a clergyman, embarked on an adventurous journey with her brother, sailing to Melbourne and then trekking to Bendigo. Sporting a blue serge skirt that doubled as nightwear, she camped under a makeshift tent of blankets, subsisting on mutton, damper, and tea. Upon arrival, she eagerly joined the gold-washing efforts and found joy in the experience. Ellen shares captivating tales of colonial life, transportation, emigration, and the bustling gold-fields. But that’s just the beginning! Tune in to discover her encounters with bush-rangers, orphans, and the surprising fate of her beloved parasol.
