  • 20 Apr 1923: A bush fire broke out in the gully in front of "Lynwood," Mr Wilson's property, last Monday afternoon, and soon swept the sides of the hills. Mr Jack Ashley's house was in great danger of being burnt, but owing to the splendid efforts of the residents who turned out in force to beat back the fire, the homestead was saved. The flames were within a few chains of the house, and an anxious time was spent by Mrs Ashley and family. Elise Anna Margaret Ashley7

  • 5 Jul 1923: Dance at Upper Beaconsfield.
    At the invitation of Lt.-Col. and Mrs. G. H. Knox, a number of their friends from Upper Beaconsfield and the surrounding districts, and also Melbourne were present at the delightful dance held in the Assembly Hall, Upper Beaconsfield, on Friday evening, June 22. The guest of the evening was Miss K. Bird, cousin of the hostess, who is on a visit from England, and the dance was given in honor of her twenty-first birthday. The supper room of the hall was converted into a cosy lounge, with easy chairs, carpets, and a glowing fire. Bridge tables were provided for non-dancers. On a large table in the supper-room was arranged a buffet supper.
    The hall was gaily decked with cerise and violet streamers festooned from a centrepiece arranged with hoops of paper flowers of the same color and greenery. Tall oriental lamps and festoons of greenery, with cerise flowers, made a very effective screen round the dias, on which the musicians were seated. Mr. K. R. Pinkerton (of Berwick) was responsible for the artistic decorations of the hall. At 10 p.m. the guests retired to Salisbury House, opposite the hall, to partake of a sit-down supper.
    After midnight a large birthday cake, with twenty-one candles burning brightly on it, was carried into the hall, and cut by Miss Bird. The hostess (Mrs. G. H. Knox) wore a gracefully draped frock of apricot changeable taffeta, caught at the side with monkey fur: she carried an Early Victorian posy of autumn tints. Miss K. Bird was dressed in dainty mauve taffeta, with panels of Valenciennes lace, and a deep collar of georgette edged with similar lace.
    Among the guests present were.—Messrs. R. Knox (Melbourne), Dare (Melbourne), Lester, Beauchamp, Capt. Tate, Messrs. J. F. Sturken, Bunt, Day, K. R. Pinkerton, J. Swords, R. Glover, Berglund, Carsewell, Lorimer, Brown, McBride, E. Blain, Seely, Harvey Smith, Cant, Reed, Lester, Miss Margaret Clarke (Melbourne), flame-colored crepe de chine, with tulle pointed overskirt.

  • 1 Apr 1953: CRICKET. Cardinia won by 263 runs. At the conclusion of the match Association secretary Jack Hicks presented the George Thomson Shield to Colin Watson, captain of the Cardinia team. Colin suitably responded. Alf. Brown then congratulated Cardinia on winning the premiership. The Berwick District Cricket Association deeply appreciates the generosity of Mr. George Thomson, of Upper Beaconsfield, for donating another Shield for
    competition between the clubs. The Shield is to become the property of the club winning it
    three years in succession.44
  • 17 Dec 1965: Death of Upper Beaconsfield Resident
    Many throughout the district learnt with deep regret of the death of Mr George Thomson, well-known Upper Beaconsfield estate agent, which sad event occurred at the Alfred Hospital on Sunday night, following a collapse at his home earlier in the day.
    Mr Thomson had not enjoyed good health for some time.
    A resident of the district for 27 years Mr Thomson had taken a keen interest in all local organisations. He was very highly esteemed.
    Particularly was he closely associated with the Football and Cricket Clubs.
    All feel deeply for his wife and son Ric, in the great loss they have suffered.
    The funeral, which was largely attended took place at Springvale on Wednesday.45
