THE AREA ADMINISTRATORS CORNER
Dear Members and Friends,
Our first Beginners Class for 1993 was held on Saturday, 20th April and was well
attended. A number of members spoke on various topics and the day was quite successful,
some members have used information gained to further their research. It is hoped to have
further days later in the year.
You may be interested to know that the Death Notices taken from the W'bool Standard, Jan
1982 - Dec 1992 have been published on microfiche. This index covers about 7,500 deaths.
Copies of notices are available from August 1982 onwards for a small charge. There are 6
microfiche in the set which can be purchased for $15.00 by writing to PO Box 607,
Warrnambool.
Last month I mentioned the removal of the Purnim Cemetery and that the Woodford Cemetery
had never opened. I have no further information on the Woodford Cemetery but Doug has
located the site of the Purnim Cemetery on an old Parish Map. The recreation reserve in
Bryan O'Lynn Road, behind the Presbyterian Church was originally the Purnim Cemetery.
Till the next time good luck with your researching
Regards to all
Marie Boyce
Area Administrator

REGISTRATION OF ALIENS DURING WORLD WAR 1
(As published in the 'Warrnambool Standard')
The Federal Government has secured authority under the War Precautions Act to take steps
to keep a vigilant watch on all aliens in the Commonwealth and those entering at the
various ports. Regulations issued on Friday relating to the registration of aliens on and
after 31st October next apply to alien friends, as well as alien enemies, over 15 years
of age. Police officers in charge of police stations are to be the alien registration
officials. Other members of the police force. officers of the customs, naval and military
authorities, and authorised persons, are to be officers under the regulations for general
purposes. Provision is made under which aliens may be exempted by the Minister from the
regulations. The exemptions include consuls and their staffs, masters and crews of public
vessels of any Government. Children of alien residents not being natural born British
subjects must be registered in the same way as aliens. Masters and crews of vessels, if
aliens, must register at the first point of call in the Commonwealth. Every alien.
whether registered or not, who changes his place of abode must, within seven days, notify
the fact to an alien registration officer.

REGISTRATION OF ALIENS (Cont from page 2)
The keepers of every hotel, inn. boarding house and lodging house in Australia are
required to enter in a register the names and nationalities of all aliens staying on
their premises, together with the dates of their arrival and departure. their
destinations, and any other particulars as may be required. Any officer may at any time
require any person believed by him to be an alien to answer questions as to name,
nationality, residence. movements or business. Power is given to officers to arrest
without warrant any person whom they have reasonable ground to believe has committed an
offence against the regulations.

MARIE'S MEMORABILIA
This month Marie presents Part 9 of her series of items on schools in Warrnambool and
the surrounding district.
Page numbers quoted after the school number are the page on which the history of the
school is covered in book 2 of 'Vision and Realisation'.
PRIMARY SCHOOLS IN THE VICINITY OF WARRNAMBOOL INCLUDING THE TERANG,
MORTLAKE, CARAMUT, KOROIT AND PORT FAIRY AREAS.
PART 9
MOYNE SWAMP School Number 2415 see page 932
Elizabeth Backler opened this school 1/8/1881. Fluctuating attendances caused the
school to close and reopen. During 1888-9 it worked half time with SS Clonleigh. It
finally closed 31/10/1889.
YAMBUCK School Number 2458 see page 932
The first school at Yambuck was No 696 and dated back to the 1860's. It was taken over
by the State until 31/3/1882 when it was struck off the roll and replaced by SS 2458 Samuel S Scott who was Head Teacher at 696 became Head Teacher at 2458. The school
closed in 1949 for consolidation with Port Fairy.
NIRRANDA EAST School Number 2475 see page 933
It is believed that this school opened about the turn of the century. In 1932 the
building was removed and transported to Allansford. Instruction in the new building
commenced 30/5/1933 under Robert A Oakley as Head Teacher. The small building sits in
most attractive grounds and is very well equipped.
DUTSON School Number 2638 (See DUNMORE School Number 2638) see page 934
This school was situated on the original Lindsay property at Bessiebelle and was first
known as 3047 Bessiebelle East. From 1888 it was known as Dunmore. The school closed
31/5/1892.
ECKLIN SOUTH School Number 2647 see page 934
The first school opened in 1885 with children coming from a distance of 6 miles. The
building materials for the school arrived in Warrnambool by ship and then had to be
transported to Ecklin South by bullock wagon. In 1936 the original school was shifted
back from the road and a new school was erected.
Page Six
MARIE'S MEMORABILIA (cont)
CURDIEVALE School Number 2705 see page 936
A site for a school had been reserved when the township of Boggy Creek was surveyed.
Name changed to Curdievale when a Post Office opened there. The school was first known
as Nirranda Township. In November 1885 1 Gardiner opened the school, working it half
time with one at Wallaby Hill, Peterborough. Attendances declined and the school closed
in 1893. The school reopened in 1924 in a new building. In July 1948 pupils were
transferred to Timboon Consolidated.
MEPUNGA EAST School Number 2762 see page 938
This school opened 17/6/1886. A new room was erected in 1888. From August 1902 Mepunga
East operated half time with Nullawarre North SS 3206. A new school was erected in 1928
to accommodate 65-70 pupils.
THE COVE (FORMERLY MEPUNGA) School Number 2827 see page 940
originally this school was called SS 2827 Mepunga. It was situated next to the Mepunga
Presbyterian Church. Fire destroyed this school in 1887 and the new building was three
miles further south towards Childers Cove and opened later that year. The name was
changed to The Cove in 1933. The name came from Childers Cove, two miles away. where
early in the 19th century a ship carrying bricks from England was wrecked. The ship was
called 'The Children', 9 children perished in the wreck. hence the name Childers Cove.
PURNIM WEST School Number 2905 see page 940/41
About 1850 a farmer. James McKenna from Ireland, settled in the district and was so
perturbed at the lack of a district school that he built one on his own property and
employed a teacher named Ryan. This school closed in 1870 and the children attended
various schools owned by the State. Local farmers approached the Department with the
aim of having a school built on land donated by Mr & Mrs Barber of 'Staywood Park, and
SS 2905 was opened 261911888. Head Teacher was J J Edgoose. The school was enlarged to
its present size in 1925. 10 children were enrolled in 1970.
BESSIEBELLE School Number 3047 (see also BESSIEBELLE 1238) see page 944
Officially opened 23/2/1891 under Head Teacher Joseph McMillan, the school was located
on the Lindsay property. Was also known as Bessiebelle East. The school apparently
closed in 1894. See also DUNMORE 2638, page 934.

GOING'S ON AROUND THE LIBRARY
NEW COMPUTER INSTALLED
On the day of our AGM (11th March) our new computer was installed in the library. The
machine is a 386sx 25mhz based system with a 5.25" floppy drive and a 85mb hard disk.
MS Works software is loaded to provide the facilities needed by the Society such as
wordprocessing, database, membership and mailing lists.
It is proposed that an introductory course will be run in the next month for those
members not familiar with this type of hardware and software. Date of course will be
determined at April meeting.
WORKING BEES
As most members are aware a number of members get together on a Wednesday morning in
the library at Flagstaff Hill to do research and some of the business of the Society.
Over the past few months Helen and her helpers have accessioned all the additions to
our library collection and rearranged the storage cabinets to provide easier access to
resources therein, a number of members assisted Marie with the photocopying of the
Beattie and Phillips Funeral Record books and a host of other smaller tasks have been
achieved also.
Current tasks in hand include the transfer of our card file (15,000 + cards) into the
steel filing drawers from their existing shoe boxes. Some cards require trimming to
fit, letters A thru G have been completed. Aurelin has commenced the sorting of the
Beattie and Phillips material into alphabetical order, this has yet to be indexed and
bound. If you can assist with these tasks please have a chat to Marie and she can
advise how you can help.
COMPUTERISING OF RECORDS
The major reason for purchasing the Society's new computer system was to place some of
our records onto computer for easier access, backing up of our material and to allow us
to exchange material with other groups.
The two major tasks currently confronting us are putting together an index for the
Beattie and Phillips material on computer and placing our massive card file system on
computer. If you have keyboard skills and would like to be involved in these projects
please have a chat to Marie for further details.
Remember, the more people who get involved the sooner we can complete these projects.
The database layouts for these tasks have not as yet been finalised so any suggestions
are most welcome.
EXCHANGING MATERIALS
A number of members have computers at home with MS Works software installed, this
allows you to build files at home for loading onto the Society computer and also allows
you to download files from the computer. If you can assist with indexing programs in
this manner by working at home have a chat to Marie as she has a number of items that
could be done in this way.
LIBRARY ATTENDANTS
As always we could do with more library attendants to open the library and in so doing
generate some extra funds for the Society. If you can spare a few hours on a regular
basis have a chat to Rosemary Archer and she can advise where vacancies exist on our
roster.
