About Corayo: A Thematic History of Greater Geelong<\/a>” has been shortlisted as part of the Victorian Community History Awards, which will provide prizes to a host of publications and projects that highlight important facets of the state’s past.<\/p>\nDr David Rowe produced the publication on behalf of the City of Greater Geelong, and explores key themes about how the city came to be through physical evidence and aspects of cultural history.<\/p>\n
“About Corayo” takes its name from the Wadawurrung word for “salt water” or “sandy”, which is a derivation for Corio.<\/p>\n
The history document is divided into nine parts, covering topics such as early settlement and immigration of non-Anglo communities, transport, industries, governance and community life.<\/p>\n
The project is available for download in its themes and a hard copy is available at the Geelong Heritage Centre.<\/p>\n
The state government described ‘About Corayo’ as “an innovative history of Victoria’s second largest city, focusing on the often overlooked contributions of women, non-British emigrants and other marginalised groups”.<\/p>\n

Government Services Minister Danny Pearson said the projects provided an important and insightful glimpse into Victoria’s story.<\/p>\n
“Without knowing our past we can’t know where we are going, so it’s fantastic we can recognise these projects and publications that bring Victoria’s colourful history to life,” he said.<\/p>\n
“The projects have something for everyone, from exciting new books to walking tours uncovering the stories hidden on our city streets.”<\/p>\n
Public Record Office Victoria will present the Victoria Community History Awards alongside the Royal Historical Society of Victoria.<\/p>\n
The Victorian Premier’s History Award winner will be announced at the Melbourne Arts Centre on October 21.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
