They\u2019d heard of hills of gold.<\/p>\n<p>True stories of the wealth they\u2019d see in Ballarat were told.<\/p>\n<p>The men who saw them leave the town cared not a jot for yellow.<\/p>\n<p>They liked much whiter faces, just like every other fellow.<\/p>\n<p>My business thrived; I took on help to get the washing done.<\/p>\n<p>I charged a little more of course; hard scrubbing was no fun.<\/p>\n<p>Once more I used my tub and turned the wooden handle.<\/p>\n<p>My laundry was a great success, thanks to Mabel\u2019s well-worn mangle.<\/p>\n<p>Founded in 1977, the Bellarine Historical Society has been operating out of the Court House Museum since the 1970s.<\/p>\n<p><em>A Fly on the Wall<\/em>, presented by the Bellarine Historical Society and Port Arts Network, will be on show at the Courthouse Museum, 11 High Street, Drysdale, on August 27 and August 28 from noon until 4pm on both days.<\/p>\n<p>For tickets to the August 27 evening event, which will run from 5-7pm, head to<a href=\"http:\/\/trybooking.com\/CBDKX\"> trybooking.com\/CBDKX<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE Bellarine Historical Society will help raise the profile of the Old Court House Museum with a celebration of art and writing based on historical objects and events.
