  1. I was at the August 1976 anti-Fraser demo at Monash. Since then I've often looked at photos of the event, but today I saw a photo which I'm pretty sure included me! It's impossible to be certain, but several contemporaries have agreed its me. BTW, he was barricaded into a toilet. They claim it was an engineer's office, but also say they had to squeeze him out of a small window. An engineer with only a window that small in his office?

  2. CW: History podcast plug

    A new episode of In Those Days is out today (after a break of over a year, whoops).

    Christina Adams and I are joined by husband of the pod, Lincoln Turner. We discuss Lincoln's grandfather's letters to the editor, published in the Canberra Times in the '60s and '70s and digitised in #Trove.

    Was really fun talking about Major Eugene Milton Sanchez who was a big character who had big adventures.

    It was also great to record in State Library Victoria's podcast studio - it's so nice in there and it's free! Almost don't want to tell people about it, because everyone will be there.
