  • 11 Aug 1928: MISS ELSA GRICE.
    Women's Institutes in England.
    In view of the incorporation of the Women's Institutes in Victoria with the newly formed Country Women's Association, special interest attaches to what Miss Elsa Grice has to tell of the development of the movement in England. Miss Grice who returned recently after more than a year's absence abroad, visited a number of the individual institutes of which there are now 4,000 while she was in England, and just before she left was present at the annual meeting of the National Federation of Institutes at the Queen's Hall London. Already she has been drawn back into active work in connection with the institutes here, and on Thursday visited the Beaconsfield institute with Lady Mitchell, who spoke to the members about the C W A.
    It will be remembered that the insti tutes came into being in Great Britain during the war and were considered of sufficient national importance to receive a grant of £5,000 from the Government, to be continued until they became self supporting. Each institute now has its own funds, and there is a central fund at headquarters in London so the Government grant will be withdrawn next year. The success of the movement in England may be traced very largely to this financial backing in the early stages. A good deal has already been written here of the various activities which concern the institutes, the aspect most familiar probably being the development of handicrafts and rural industries. Also a tremendous amount of health work is being done through the institutes, Miss Grice found, such for instance, as the teaching of mothercraft, health and domestic hygiene, proper medical and dental attention for children, the support of nursing associations in the different villages and so on. The members are also expected to concern themselves in all matters of interest to the community generally, such matters for in stance as sewerage and water supply in vil lages that are sadly lacking in this respect. They are encouraged too, to take an intelligent interest in local government and many of them have become members of local councils. Miss Grice was very im pressed by the fact that at the annual meeting in London, where women from all over the country spoke, only one of them was obviously nervous. The majority spoke admirably, and always to the point. Those vague generalities which betray inexperience and an untrained mind were conspicuous by their absence. Referring to that meeting Miss Grice said that special emphasis had been laid by one of the speakers on the part women could play in preserving the beauty of the countryside. Here seems a particular direction in which our CWA might follow their lead. There is sad evidence in many of our country and seaside resorts that the public is in need of education in this direction.
    One important feature in the development of the movement has been the assistance given by honorary organisers in the different counties, of whom there are about 350 in addition to the paid worker from the National Federation. Then there are of course, the experts in handicrafts who visit the various centres to give lectures and demonstrations. In Scotland Miss Grice was interested in the development of such home industries as hand woven woollen garments, cardigans, stockings, socks and so on, in many cases made from wool the women had spun themselves. The usual custom is for the institute to keep one penny or twopence in the shilling of the prices paid for these goods, the rest going to the worker.4
  • 17 Jan 1929: C.W.A. of Victoria. WHEN it is taken into consideration that the Country Women's Association of Victoria has only been in existence a little over 15 months, the headway that has been made seems nothing short of wonderful. It was Lady Somers who first suggested its establishment at a meeting called by Colonel Merritt during the Royal Show of 1928. For several months following this suggestion events necessarily moved slowly, for the idea had to be discussed, the opinion of country women had to be taken, and then a good deal of organisation had to be accomplished. But, at the outset, the association had the influence and ability of Lady Mitchell at the back of it, and there is no doubt that it was through her powers of organisa tion that the movement was so promptly put on a solid foundation. To-day there are thriving branches in many of the important country centres—18 branches and a mermbership of 1268—this extension is proof posi tive that the association was needed, for wherever branches have been formed they have been greeted with enthusiasm; some have been marvel lously successful from their very first meeting. The work that the associa tion has done, and proposes to do, can best be appreciated by finding out What each branch has done to date. TAKING a glance through the activities of the branches, we find that instructive lectures have been given on gardening, cookery, rug work, rug making, raffia, fruit preserving, cake decorating, &c. at the Beaconsfield branch, of which Mrs. Hurditch is president. The members have also en joyed lantern lectures by the Forestry Department on Australian timber. Market stalls and a cookery recipes exchange are also important features. ... Flinders branch is well established, for until October last it was a Women's Institute. It was the second to be formed, and it attained the most re markable success. This branch is ex tremely fortunate in its president, Mrs. Larking, who, two years ago, vis ited America, and there made a close study of the Women's Institute move ment. She returned to Victoria, inspired to do something to develop the idea, in Australia, and she found Miss Elsa Grice equally enthusiastic, and was convinced that the time had come to make a definite move.

AnecdoteMcArthur, Dr Arthur Norman (1869-1951), Dr Norman McArthur, the son of Peter McArthur and Margaret nee McLean was a boarder at the College from 1881 to 1886, and excelled in school sports, being especially interested in boxing and football. He was a member of the 1st Football XVIII from 1884 to 1886 and the 1st Cricket XI in 1885 and 1886. In the 1886 Annual Report his football talent was described as ‘generally roves, plays with dash, uses his weight to advantage and a good kick.’ At Cricket,-‘Good bat, has scored well this season, fair fielder.’ At tennis-‘a good player, gets plenty of pace on, needs practice. From the Geelong College he proceeded to medical studies at Ormond College, Melbourne University and at King's College, London. By 1909 he was Senior Gynaecological Surgeon at St Vincent’s Hospital, Melbourne and became a distinguished medical consultant practising in Collins Street. At University he gained a double blue for cricket and football.
A member of the well-known pioneer family of Meningoort, Camperdown, he was a worthy follower of their tradition, and was an original member of the Old Collegians' Association which he helped to form in 1908, and of which he became President in 1909 and 1910. His keen support of the College was lifelong, and after the tragic death of Norman Morrison he and Neil Campbell were largely responsible for the survival of the College. He, it was, who supplied the drive for the erection of the Norman Morrison Memorial Hall. His father Peter McArthur of Camperdown was one of the original twelve members of the Corresponding Committee formed at the establishment of the School in 1861. Dr McArthur was a member of the Geelong College Council from its inception in 1908 until 1947 and acted as Chairman of the Council during 1939 to 1941 during Arthur Coles' absence. Dr McArthur married Millicent Elizabeth Noakes. His brothers, Leslie Graham, Robert Ernest, Peter Campbell, Sir William Gilbert Stewart and John Neil McArthur also attended the College as did his son Peter Norman McArthur.
Dr Pillow and Dr Wettenhall at the Council Meeting of 4 May, 1951 described Dr MacArthur: ‘His entertaining personality was highly appreciated at College functions, with his ready wit, sound judgment, and diverting reminiscences. His example was outstanding, and one of which we can all be proud. It is impossible to exaggerate the debt owed to him by the College.’

Born 12 July 1869 Camperdown, Victoria, Australia
Died 11 December 1950 Australia
Occupation Gynaecologist, Medical practitioner and Obstetrician
There have been few more colourful persons in the medical world of Australia than Arthur Norman McArthur, affectionately called "Potts" by his many friends. He lived to the eightieth year of a very full life in his profession of medicine, in lusty sports, such as boxing, polo and foxhounds, and in public and philanthropic interests. Into whatever he pursued, McArthur threw his whole heart and great physical and mental powers.
McArthur was the fifth son of Peter McArthur, pioneer pastoralist of the Western District of Victoria. Born at "Meningoort", his father’s station, near Camperdown, on July 12 1869, educated at Geelong College, and studying medicine at the University of Melbourne, where he was a resident in Ormond, he finished his course in London, becoming M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P. in 1895. Three years later he was appointed House Surgeon in the Launceston General Hospital. Returning to England to marry Mellicent, daughter of Wickham Noakes of Selsdon Park, Surrey. McArthur subsequently commenced practice as an obstetrician and gynaecologist in Collins Street, Melbourne.
In 1903 he took the degrees of Bachelor of Surgery and Bachelor of Medicine of the University of Melbourne, and was appointed Honorary Obstetric and Outpatient Surgeon to the Women’s Hospital.
In 1905 he began a long period of association with St. Vincent’s Hospital, eventually becoming its Senior Honorary Gynaecologist. He resigned his Women’s Hospital appointment in 1909 and ceased to practice obstetrics.
McArthur’s interests in the field of medicine were varied, his achievements many and he evolved some special operative techniques. One of them was demonstrated to Dr. William Mayo (of Rochester U.S.A.) when the latter visited Australia in 1924; this resulted in McArthur being elected a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. He organized a fund which raised £6,000 to buy radium for St. Vincent’s Hospital, and was prominent in a campaign, under the Chairmanship of Mr. B.T. Zwar, to organize cancer clinics.
He was a foundation Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, and a member of Council of the Victorian Branch of the British Medical Association (being first elected thereto in 1916). McArthur was a regular contributor to "The Medical Journal of Australia" on the subjects in which he specialized.
Outside medicine, McArthur’s great loves were sport and country life. He was a University blue in both cricket and football and was an amateur boxer of the top grade, in London in student days being runner-up in the inter-hospital heavyweight championship. He was for many years Chairman of the Victorian Amateur Boxing and Wrestling Championships. He played polo from early youth, was captain of the Melbourne Polo Club for four years, and with his three elder brothers had formed a famous polo team of his early years in the Western District.
Field shooting was possibly his favourite pastime and the openings of the quail and duck seasons were sacred - no professional work then. Accompanying this was active interest in game and native flora and fauna preservation. He was for many years Chairman of the Game Preservation Society of Victoria, and of the Advisory Council of Fauna and Flora of Victoria.
In his latter years, McArthur became more and more crippled with osteoarthritis of the hips, but his lively sense of humour never deserted him and right to the end he was ready to tell a good story from an unending fund of reminiscences.
He died on December 11th 1950 and his final jest was to leave a sum of money in order that his friends could hold a "wake". So, after the funeral these friends foregathered and drank a toast to "good shooting in the next world". Norman McArthur was a fine and generous personality, one of the best sons of Victoria’s squatting era, and a man of exceptionally wide accomplishments.20

  • 3 Jul 1897: DEATH OF MR. PETER McARTHUR. One of the Pioneers of the District. A Sketch of His Career. The generation of sturdy pioneers who led the way in the colonisation of Victoria are rapidly passing away. There are a few still who linger on the field, even in their old age splendid samples of the manhood that went out to conquer un- known country. Mr. Peter McArthur, of Meningoort, was one of those who took a prominent part not only in the pioneering work of this district, but in the work that followed, and when it was announced in these columns that he had been overtaken by an illness that would prove fatal, genuine regret was felt and expressed by all classes of the community. For the past 18 months he had been ailing more or less, and the last few weeks alarming symptoms began to set in. He gradually got worse, and on last Monday week Dr. Pettigrew pronounced his case hopeless. It was expected then that two or three days would see the end, but his wonderful vitality asserted itself, and although he grew weaker day by day, it was not until Thursday at about half-past one o'clock that he passed peacefully away, surrounded by the members of his family. Mr. McArthur's death marks the break- ing of another link in the chain that binds the present and the past. He was a native of Islay, one of the numerous islands off the west coast of Scotland, where his parents were well-to-do farmers, and was born, as far as can be ascertained, on the 14th July, 1817, two years after the Battle of Waterloo. When quite a boy he went to sea for three or four years, after which he returned home and for a while worked on his father's farm. He did not remain long, however, and again taking to the sea he made his way to Australia, arriving in Sydney in the year 1836. In the beginning of 1839 he went to Melbourne, and with Messrs. N. Cole and Du Vernay set out for the Western district, with the object of taking up some land and engaging in pastoral pursuits. At Geelong the party met the Messrs. Manifold, who had the previous year taken up the land at present held by their descendants, and from whom they purchased a flock of sheep. They then made their way with all speed to the Messrs. Manifold's station, where they obtained possession of their sheep and drove them on to the country now comprising the West Cloven Hills and Meningoort stations,which they took up in partnership. Du Vernay did not remain long in the partnership, and leaving Messrs. McArthur and Cole on the station he established a house of call at what is now known as Cressy, but was for years after his advent called The Frenchman's. There is still a memento of him in this district in the Frenchman's Marsh on the road to Terang, which derived its name from him. For several years the station continued to be worked by Messrs. McArthur and Cole, but in 1849 or 1850 it was divided between them, Mr. Cole taking the part now known as the West Cloven Hills, and Mr. McArthur the other part, which was called Meningoort after the native name of the mount which shelters the homestead from the westerly winds. The next important event in Mr. McArthur's life was his marriage, which took place in 1855, when he was united at Geelong to Miss Margaret McLean, sister of Captain John McLean, who was widely known as a daring and adventurous navigator, and commanded the Citizen, the first vessel to trade between Melbourne and Geelong. Mr. and Mrs. McArthur took up their abode at Meningoort, and lived happily together until Mrs. McArthur's death, which oc- curred about 14 years ago. The issue of this marriage was ten children, two of whom are dead. The eldest son is Mr. J. N. McArthur, M.L.A., of Lawrenny. The other sons of the deceased gentleman by his first marriage are Mr. Stuart McArthur, leader of the County Court Bar in Melbourne; Mr. Campbell McArthur, who manages Meningoort; Mr. E. McArthur, who manages Leechfield; Dr. Norman McArthur, at present in London; and Mr. Leslie McArthur. There were only two daughters, Mrs. G. W. Dowling, of Fine View, and Miss Jean McArthur. Three or four years after the death of his first wife Mr. McArthur married Miss Hood, of Camperdown, daughter of Dr. Hood, who was then practising at Ondit, and there was by this marriage one son, Master Douglas McArthur. The various members of the family have always thoroughly identified themselves with the district, throughout the whole of which they are widely known and respected. Although Mr. McArthur never took a prominent part in political matters he did much useful public work. He was a member of the first Road Board for this district, which was constituted at a meeting held at Darlington on the 8th July, 1857, at which the late Hon. Francis Ormond presided. It may be interesting to mention that the members of the Board were Messrs. William Anderson, John L. Currie, Peter McArthur, Daniel Curdie, Adolphus Clark, Benjamin Dowling, John Walls, and John McFarlane. Mr. Currie was elected chairman. Mr. McArthur continued a member of the Road Board during the whole period of its existence, and when it gave place to the Hampden Shire Council he became a member of that body and sat for several years. He was also one of the first magistrates appointed in the district, and frequently occupied the bench. Mr. McArthur also did good work in con- nection with the Hampden and Heytes- bury Pastoral and Agricultural Society, of which he was President for 18 years continuously. He was likewise a prominent member of the Leura Lodge of Freemasons, and was a Past Grand Lodge officer. In all his public positions Mr. McArthur was active and energetic, and could always be relied upon to do whatever he under- took. Through the death of Mr. McArthur the district has lost a resident who ever worked for its good. He was noted for his honesty of purpose and integrity of character, and for that genial and kindly nature which has descended to his children. He was a man of strong personality, as were all the pioneers of civilisation in the colony, and he has done work that will keep his memory alive for genera- tions, and bear fruit till time shall be no more. He needs no eulogy in Camperdown, where he was known to all as that noblest work of God - a man. THE FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS. The funeral procession will leave Meningoort at noon to-day, and is expected to arrive at the Camperdown Cemetery, where the remains will be interred, at 2 o'clock. The W.M. of the Leura Lodge of Freemasons requests members of the craft to assemble at the Masonic Hall at noon today for the purpose of attending the funeral.22

  • 27 Feb 1913: A Motor Accident.
    In the County Court at Melbourne, before Judge Box, on Thursday last, the case of James Sheriff against Dr Norman McArthur, of Collins street, Melbourne and Wiseman and Barrett, of a'Beckett street, Melbourne, motor car manufacturers, came on for hearing. Plaintiff a well known carrier carrying on business at Berwick, and, on the day after Melbourne Cup Day last year, his van was run into by a motor car. The accident happened on the road between Dandenong and Berwick. The car was driven by a man from Wiseman and Barrett's, who had been sent up to Steele's hotel to take the car to Melbourne for repairs. Dr McArthur had left it at Steele's some time before. The difficulty in the car arose from the fact that although the car belonged to Dr McArthur there was doubt as to the driver. Was he the servant of the garage or of the owner?
    After hearing evidence from James Sheriff and his son, Mr A. Sheriff, and Mr Collings on behalf of the plaintiff and from Dr McArthur on behalf of the defendants, Judge Box held that the defendants Wiseman and Barrett were liable to pay to Sheriff £18 damages and costs and Sheriff was liable to pay Dr McArthur's costs; but Wiseman and Barrett must also reimburse Sheriff any costs he had to pay on account of McArthur's costs. The case was somewhat unusual by reason of this order, which effect gives the plaintiff Sheriff damages and costs against the defendants Wiseman and Barrett. Mr W. H. Magenna (instructed by Mr Jeffery Macpherson) appeared for Sheriff, Mr Wanliss for McArthur and Dr O'Hara Wood for Wiseman and Barrett, both instructed by Messrs Woolcott and Drysdale.

  • 31 Oct 1917: RAILWAY COMEDIES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE ARGUS.
    Sir,-To supplement the series of articles in "The Argus on the management of the Victorian railways I would like to supply some facts that read almost like a comic opera. I have a property at Upper Beaconsfield. Some years ago I had sent to Beaconsfield station, 23 miles from Melbourne, a 1.000-gallon tank and a 9ft. cyclone gate. They were lost for 2 months, the Railways department being unable to trace them. At last a man whom I knew from Gippsland stopped me in the street and asked me when I was going to remove my tank from the Drouin railway platform, as it was obstructing the platform. He knew the tank was mine because it had painted on it 12in. letters in black on the galvanised iron, "Dr. McArthur, Beaconsfield." I immediately asked if he also a 9ft. cyclone gate. He said "Yes," and that it had a label on it fully addressed. I informed the railway authorities, but a shrug of the shoulders, a bland smile, and a few platitudes dismissed the whole matter as far as the department was concerned.
    I bad a bag of potatoes sent to me on July 1. From Beaconsfield to the Toorak station is 24 miles. On July 14 the bag of potatoes had arrived at Toorak. The explanation of the railway authorities was that the goods train conveying a certain amount of perishable goods could not deliver at Toorak at 3 o'clock in the morning, as the department could not afford to employ men to unload and shunt goods at that time. The goods, had to go to Spencer street, and then at last when a full truck was made up to deliver goods at Toorak the return was made and the truck shunted off at Toorak.
    Again, a bag of cement sent to Beaconsfield was lost. The department was notified and re-notified that the cement could not be traced. Three months went by, and a claim of 5/3 was made against the depart ment. In another month it was notified that payment was passed, and awaited col- lection at Spencer street. I did not collect. When the department received my letter expressing what I thought of them they kindly sent the 5/3 to my office in Collins street. I had half a dozen windows sent up from a timber merchant. They arrived at Beaconsfield. Two of the windows were broken in transit, and my manager would not take delivery. I sent back the win dows, and had them replaced at the department's expense. On the return they were lost on the railways. Three months again before a claim could be sent in. Another month expired, and a notice was sent that payment would be made on calling for the money at Spencer street. I protested, as I had already made four visits to Spencer street about the windows. The payment was then made at my rooms within half an hour.
    Some eggs and butter recently were sent from Beaconsfield to Toorak, and I was notified. I sent my carrier for them. They were not there. I sent again—not there! I called next day—not there! I thought perhaps they would be at Armadale—a mistake on the part of my manager. Not there! On the fifth day I went to Toorak again. Not there! But I got into the parcels office, searched for myself, and found the parcels, fully labelled. I made the official look up the waybill. There it was five days old. I saw the stationmaster, and gave him all I knew."
    I always have money deposited at Beaconsfield railway station to cover goods arriving. The stationmaster notifies me when this is exhausted. It has been explained frequently to officials at Toorak. Yet every time egg-boxes or butter-boxes are sent by my carrier to Toorak a refusal is given to send them on because 2d. must be paid cash down for return of "empties."
    These are only a few instances selected out of an extraordinary number of irritating comedies that the Victorian railway management has personnally supplied to me. Can anyone conceive of such management in a private company, where dividends were looked for?
    Yours, &c., A. NORMAN MCARTHUR. 74 Collins street, Oct. 26.26

  • 30 Jun 1927: Berwick Shire Council. McArthur’s-road.—I have inspected a proposed deviation through the south-west corner of allot. 73, parish of Gembrook. The object of this deviation is to give Dr. McArthur and others living on the back road an easy outlet on to the Baaconsfield-Emerald-road.
    The existing road runs up a steep hill, which is impassable for a car or heavy load in the winter time. The length of the deviation is 32½ chains, and the grade would be approximately one in 40. The estimate does not provide for fencing, as the block is not fenced.29
  • 7 Sep 1929: MR E. McARTHUR DEAD
    Mr Ernest McArthur, of Camperdown. who died on August 29, belonged to a family which has been identified with sport in the Western district for many years.
    The late Mr Peter McArthur established the Meningoort estate in 1839. He had six sons, namely, John, Stewart, Campbell, Earnest, Norman and Leslie. Mr J. N. McArthur, the eldest, died some years ago. He succeeded to the old homestead, and bequeathed it to the eldest remaining brother, Mr Justice Stewart McArthur. Mr J. N. McArthur bred and raced thorough breds extensively, winning the Grand National Hurdle, Australian Hurdle, and Australian Cup with Marmont, a horse of his own breeding. Mr A. Norman McArthur took up the profession of medicine, and is a Collins Street practitioner.
    Noted Rider
    Messrs Ernest and Leslie McArthur became pastoralists on portion of the Koortnong estate, while Mr Campbell McArthur settled on Puunyart estate, originally included in the boundaries of Meningoort. Puunyart is the native name for eel, and Koortnong, the aboriginal expression for black swan.
    In early manhood Mr Ernest McArthur was a noted amateur rider. In 1897 he won three events at Warrnambool, namely, Flying Stakes on Table Talk, Steeplechase on Scout, and Hurdle Race on Soult. Twelve months later he repeated the feat, on Ashton, Clare and Timboon, respectively. On Mr Everard Browne's Trumpeter he captured a Melbourne Hunt Club Cup at Flemington, beating the favorite. Mr Gordan Lyon's Recluse, with Mr Godfrey Watson up. He was honorary starter at Terang for 20 years. Mr Campbell McArthur, now resident in Melbourne, has been judge at Camperdown for 29 years, and officiated at Warrnambool for 12 years. Dr. Norman McArthur held the position of president of the Amateur Boxing and Wrestling Association of Victoria for 17 years. Robert Ernest McArthur30
  • 7 Jan 1932: Berwick Shire Council. ENGINEER’S REPORT. McArthur’s road, Upper Beaconsfield. —A grant of £40 has been obtained from the Government, and a gang of unemployed is now working. The old corduroy has been removed, and the worst sections are being gravelled.31
  • 28 Jan 1932: BEACONSFIELD UPPER. Early last week bush fires broke out again. On Tuesday morning a call came from Montuna, to subdue a fire there, that was threatening a number of week-end homes. The Bush Fire Brigade burnt a break, but not, unfortunately, until portions of Mr. Geo. Grant’s orchard had been de stroyed. Whilst they were away an other call came for help to quell a fire that had broken out on Judge Bevan’s property, and which threa tened Mrs. Wheeler’s cottage and Mr. F. Funnell’s orchard; however, it was “got under’’ before much damage was done. In the afternoon a fire started on Dr. McArthur’s property, and, fanned by a strong wind, it swept over a big tract of country. Dr. Mc Arthur’s sheds and outbuildings were only saved, after hard work. The fire then got into Mr. G. Lewis’s place, and all his sheds, including carts, har ness and implements' were destroyed, and the house was saved with great difficulty. Whilst the fighters were concentrating their efforts to save Mr Lewis's house, the fire swept on to Mrs. Bennett’s whose house was destroyed. Mr. Morgan’s large sheds were destroyed, and one corner of his house was burned before the fire could be checked. All the valuable orchard implements, including a power spray pump, was destroyed in Mr. Morgan’s sheds. Another fire broke out at the head of the Cardinia Creek and burnt all the outbuildings, including a detached kitchen, at Mr. Ladds; the house was only saved after a hard fight. On Wednesday a fire started in the gully opposite Mr. Armstrong’s, and a break had to be burnt to save Mrs. Renfries, Miss McConachie’s and Messrs. Armstrong and Landor’s houses, as the wind was blowing fairly strong. Some members of the brigade were on duty all night to prevent the fire spreading to Messrs Ballanytyne’s, Walker’s, and Baxter’s places. On Sunday night the brigade was called out to burn a break to save Mr. Walker’s fine fernery from being destroyed, as a fire was coming up the Haunted Gully.32
  • 15 Feb 1938: TO THE EDITOR OF THE ARGUS
    Sir,-The article by the agricultural editor on the appalling spread of the blackberry is a timely contribution to rouse a dilatory Government department. The menace of the blackberry is impossible to understand or realise except by those who know the mountains as I do. Once a year (if he does not forget) an inspector passes down the lane passing my orchard, and leaves the usual notice to destroy blackberries on the road up to nine feet of my fence. The poor inspector has to come a long way round from Kalista, Monbulk, Sassafras, or wherever it might be. There were short cuts he could have taken, but in many of those lanes the chain-wide road is occupied by blackberry for miles quite impenetrable and 15ft. in height.
    In the mountains Crown lands are covered with blackberry. Shire councils are so appalled by what is in front of that they cannot tackle the problem. It is the most dreadful evidence of Governmental neglect that one can possibly conceive. The increase on Crown lands in the Dandenong Ranges during the last 20 years is inconceivable. A united attack, as indicated by your agricultural editor, must at once be undertaken, and action must be continuous, unsparing, and unyielding.-Yours, &c.
    A. NORMAN MCARTHUR. Upper Beaconsfield.33
  • 15 Dec 1950: Death of Dr. A. N. McArthur
    THE death occurred on Monday, December 11, of Dr. Arthur Norman McArthur, M.R.C.S. (Eng.), F.R.C.S. (Lond.), M.B., B.S. (Melb.), F.A.C.S. (Hon.

  • 5 Aug 1933: SEYMOUR—McARTHUR. Feathery sprays of pink blossom, pink camellias, white heath and pink carnations were tied with loose bows of pink tulle to the end of each pew in the Melbourne Grammar School chapel on August 2 on the occasion of the marriage of Noel, twin daughter of Dr. and Mrs. A. Norman McArthur, of Kuungil, Toorak, Melbourne, and Mr. Conway Crofton Seymour, of South Killanoola, South Australia. At the end of this pathway of flowers two huge bowls of pink blossom were set at the chancel steps, and their branches sprayed out with a charming effect, making an attractive background for the pink and white colour scheme of the bride and her attendants.
    Dr. McArthur gave his daughter away, and the Rev. P. St. J. Wilson performed the ceremony. The bridal gown was of very lovely, heavy, dull-surfaced satin, which fell in rich folds from the closely moulded bodice to form a long graceful train, on which was set a true lovers' knot in satin ribbon. An unusual fichu of the material was caught at either side of the square decolletage in the front of the bodice, and was drawn in soft folds over the shoulders to form tiny sleeves. A Juliette cap held the cloudy thicknesses of the tulle veil in place, and confined its filmy layers in soft fashion about the bride's head. Her shower bouquet was of blossom and white azaleas. The bride's twin sister, Miss Alison McArthur, was the chief bridesmaid, and Miss Elizabeth Bell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Bell, of Meekri, Camperdown (V.), was the other attendant. They wore pretty caps of chalk crepe, with tulle brims, which looked like lovely flowers with their petals open, and their frocks of blossom-pink chalk crepe were accompanied by little fitting capes, which fell over their shoulders in two soft frills. A graceful scarf drapery fell from the back of their moulded frocks, which trailed into short trains at the back, and their fragrant bouquets were of primroses, violets, and boronia tied with leaf-green ribbon. Mr. Gibson Shaw acted as best man, and Mr. R. Seymour, the bridegroom's brother, was the groomsman, while Messrs. Peter McArthur, R. K. McArthur, Ian Macfarlane, and Eric Ferguson acted as ushers.
    After the ceremony Dr. and Mrs. McArthur entertained a large number of guests at Grosvenor, Toorak, where all the lovely flowers were in the same soft shades of pink which had been used in the church. Assisting the bride's parents to receive the guests was Mrs. H. Seymour, the bridegroom's mother. Mrs. McArthur wore a little folded toque with her mace-brown ensemble, with its upstanding sable collar, and carried a bouquet of pink carnations. Deep crimson roses were carried by Mrs. Seymour, and made a vivid splash of colour against her beige velvet ensemble, with which she wore a broad-brimmed hat.
    The guest list included:—Mr. and Mrs. Campbell McArthur, the Misses Sadlier, Mrs. W. M. Knox, Miss Diana Knox (Meningoort), Mr. and Mrs. A. McIntosh, Mr. Gordon McArthur, Miss Jean McArthur, the Misses Hamilton (Frankston), Major-General Tivey and Miss Violet Tivey, Mr. and Mrs. H. Skeet, Mr. and Mrs. Lauchlan Mackinnon, Mrs. L.

Village Bell*Sep 1987 PETER McARTHUR'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY
If you enjoy a good yarn and are interested in the early history of Upper Beaconsfield, make sure you read 'Whimsy and a Little Bull' by Peter McArthur. Mr. McArthur's family owned an orchard here early this century and visited it regularly from Melbourne. The hazards of early horse transport and motor-cars, running an orchard, and, later, raising pigs, local cricket, and making the golf course, plus characters such as Boss Shorthouse and Claud Harris, are described and illustrated with vim and humour in what was clearly a favourite period of the author's life.
The first three chapters are likely to be of most interest to you, the remaining chapters recall his life and experiences in Naracoorte S.A. where he took up land, and his years in the Australian Army.
The author will be signing copies of the book at the Upper Beaconsfield Hall on Monday, 5th October, from 10.00 a.m.4
