Wirth circus workers removing a harness from an elephant on a train at Roma Street

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    In circuses, Elephants are confined and chained for literally hours on end; Through physical punishment and the threat of its use, they are trained to pose in unnatural and difficult positions; They are moved, in unbearable heat and below freezing temperatures, from city to city chained in flatbed trucks and in boxcars; Calves are separated from their mothers at an early age for the purpose of training; Elephants are removed from companions to be bought and sold, and frequently moved about; Circus elephants have no level of autonomy over their lives, to the extent where they are trained to defecate into a bucket on command. Elephants in circuses are reduced to objects of entertainment for people. An elephant's place is in the wild with its relatives and companions. The totally unnatural existence for circus elephants is a travesty and to allow this practice to continue is unjustified and unethical.

    Wolfe Tones grave at Bodenstown catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000355643

    "Republicans, you have come here today to the tomb of Wolfe Tone on a pilgrimage of loyalty. By your presence you proclaim your undiminished attachment to the ideals of Tone, and your unaltered devotion to the cause for which he gave his life. It is your answer to those who would have it believed that the Republic of Ireland is dead and its cause abandoned." - de Valera, Bodenstown 1925

Funeral procession for the men killed in a mining accident at Mount Morgan, 1908

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    The Linda Memorial was erected to commemorate those who died in accidents in Mount Morgan Mine from 1894 to 1909.

    On 5 November 1908, an accident occurred in the Linda section of the mine in which seven men were killed. Widespread concern and sympathy were evoked and a large public funeral was held. Five more miners were killed on 4 November of that year and a monument was erected for all who had died as the result of accidents in the Mount Morgan Mine; a total of 26 miners between 3 December 1894 and 28 July 1909.

    Approximately one and half hours into the afternoon shift on Saturday, September 5 1908 in the Mount Morgan Goldmining Co. workings at the 850 Level, in No. 4 drive, a large fall of rock estimated at approximately 2,000 tons crushed the life out of seven miners in an instant. This was then, the most serious loss of life suffered in the history of the mine. All seven bodies had been recovered from the accident site by around 5.30 pm the following evening due largely to the tremendous effort put in by large numbers of miners over the twenty-four hours.

    Mount Morgan residents were up early on Monday morning September 7 to see the coffins of the four Gympie miners carried on the shoulders of their local mining mates from the morgue at the hospital to the railway station where they were placed on the mail train to be transported home to their loved ones in Gympie. Both sides of the road for a distance of nearly two miles were packed by local residents, many of whom joined the solemn procession as it passed by. At 1.20 am on Tuesday morning September 8, the Rockhampton mail train arrived at the Gympie railway station to be met by a large crowd gathered there. It was said to be the saddest occasion ever witnessed in the town when the four coffins were removed from the train. Later in the day, a lorry bedecked in flowers and carrying the deceased departed the HILLYARD residence on Cootharaba Hill for the cemetery where they were laid to rest by their loved ones and friends in their respective graves.

    Funeral of the Gympie Miners took place on Tuesday afternoon. The cortege was probably the largest. It extended from the cemetery gates to the Post Office. The City, Model, Monkland and Salvation Army bands played the “Dead March”.

    I am sorry, but I did not notice this problem until Tell8160 sent a One Search catalogue client feedback. Thanks Tell Us8160 for the input and as you can see the mistake has been fixed.
