  • 21 Jan 1932: One of the worst bush fires in the memory of the oldest residents occurred here on Friday and Saturday, when a devastating fire swept over the district. On Friday, a fire, which had been burning in the scrub, fanned by a strong north wind, menaced the residence of Mr. McMillan, and in response to a call for help, about 50 men were soon engaged in a fierce fight to save the house and outbuildings. This they managed to do, and the fire then jumped the main road and threatened the residence of the Misses McLean; a break was burned, and the house was safe. On Saturday morning another fire commenced near Miss McLean’s boundary fence, and soon the residences of Messrs. Blair, Boker and Gilpin, and a number of others were in danger. A large band of willing workers managed to save the houses, but unfortunately they could not save the fine lemon orchard of Mr. McMillan, which was destroyed, also a week-end residence of Mr. Harkins. The heat was so great when the place got alight that it was im possible to get near it. In the after noon a sudden change of wind to the south caused the township to be menaced, and a desperate call for help was sent out, and in reply volunteers from Berwick, Narre Warren and Dandenong came to augment the local Bush Fire Brigade, until there were over 200 men, under the direction of Constable Barrett, and other leaders, engaged in the desperate effort to save the homes of Madame Montigue, Messrs. McBride, McDonald, Harvey-Smith, Rev. T. Greenwood, Robinson, J. Campbell, Major Campbell, Miss Elliott, J. Deville, C. Ellis, Claydon, Wright, Binding and Brown. The worst fight was at “Kyogle,” Mr. McDonald’s house; at one time it was felt that this fine residence would go, but the determined fight put up by the willing workers saved it. Here it was that anxiety was felt for one band who had become surrounded by flames, but they managed to get clear, although some of them succumbed to heat and smoke after getting out. The fine garden and plantation of Major Campbell was swept by the fire, despite the efforts of the workers, and hundreds of pounds worth of valuable plants and trees were destroyed, and the fine house was only saved by the superhuman efforts of the fire fighters. Miss Elliott’s house got alight, and part of the roof had to be stripped off before the fire could be put out. Mr. Ellis had the fence and pavilion attached to his tennis court destroyed, and the fire swept through his orchard, only being stopped within a few feet of the house. The house of Mr. Wright was saved by burning a break, as was Mr. Brown’s house and lemon orchard.
    On Sunday afternoon a small fire developed in Salisbury Gully, but it was soon got under control; whilst this was being put out an urgent call for help came from “The Towers,” Mr. Berglund’s property. A large body of men were rushed out, and the fire was got under control before very much damage was done. On Sunday a fire, which had started on the Saturday in Cordner’s Gully, crossed the Officer rd., and threatened the orchard of Mr. F. Love, but it was kept out, and, with the exception of the loss of some fencing, not very much damage was done. Country Fire Authority, Charles Alexander Berglund, Frederick Duncan Love, Olive May Elliott, Jessie Mabel McLean, Agnes Margaret 'Nessie' McLean, David McDonald, Major Charles William Campbell, Thomas Gilpin, John Harkins, Erdmuthe Fredrica Marianne Harvey-Smith, William John Harvey-Smith, Mabel Lilian Mortagne, David Norman McBride, Rev Thomas William Greenwood, Walter Fergus Robinson, James Cuming Campbell, Jeanne Shepherd Deville, John Hayman Thomas Ellis, James William Goff Claydon, Colin Wright, Walter Henry Brown, Thomas Orr McMillan, Isaiah Joseph Cordner35
  • 10 Feb 1936: TOWN MENACED BY FIRE. TWO HUNDRED FIGHT FLAMES. BEACONSFIELD UPPER OUTBREAK.
    BEACONSFIELD UPPER Sunday - A bush fire menaced the township of Beaconsfield yesterday, but 200 fighters checked the spread of the flames and a heavy downpour of rain virtually extinguished the fire which was the most serious one. In the district this summer.
    Had it not been for the good work of the bush fire brigade assisted by volunteers, considerable loss of property might have occurred.
    The fire began on Friday in the gully below Mr McMillan's house on the main road from Beaconsfield to Beaconsfield Upper. A south east wind carried the fire up a gully to the back of the properties of Messrs Wright and Binding. It was checked there by beaters but crossed the road and damaged the orchard of Mr Walter Brown. The wind dropped in the evening and it was considered that the danger had passed.
    On Saturday morning, however, the south west wind carried the fire up another gully and only excellent work by the brigade and others saved the houses of Miss Elliot and Lieut Colonel Campbell. The wind was working round toward the township. To prevent that danger the brigade under the direction of the captain (Mr a'Beckett) burnt a break of about three quarters of a mile. Ulick Burke A'Beckett, Olive May Elliott, Major Charles William Campbell, Walter Henry Brown, Colin Wright36

    He was born in Finland of Swedish parents, and was a colonist of 51 years. He achieved a great reputation as a nurseryman, his name being known all over the world, and he was the owner of the largest nursery south of the equator. In addition to being an authority on horticulture, he took a great interest in the experimental growing of flax. He leaves a widow and grown-up family of eight, one of whom, Mr. Percy Nobelius, is a leading rifle shot.18

(Mentioned) Village BellJun 1994 HEARSAY HISTORY - PART TWO Our neighbour Harry Lang, of “Woodland”, now 21 Walnut Grove, told us that there was once a stand of walnut trees on the Telegraph Road side of the property. He recalled a Mr. Buckland, a timber getter who took out the big trees on our place. He occupied a very small hut on a shelf cut on the hillside, with a waterhole close by, on our “Wattle Paddock”. His horse team dragged long logs along one side of the Sailor's Gully, crossed it near the top end, and down the other side to Telegraph Road, where they were loaded on jinkers for transport. Traces remain of his tracks, his flowers, and big logs that he felled but could not take out.
When Harry was a youth in the 1920’s he worked on building the Milk Bar in the village, for the Burton family. Harry Burton lived at “Melburnia” in A’Beckett Road. The Milk Bar was the “Cormore Tea Room” with the Cormore orchards close by. The north wall could be swung open, giving a view of the orchards beside the village street. Harry served under Lt. Col. Burton in the War.16

Village Bell*Jun 1990 HARRY ALEXANDER BURTON Lt Col (Retd) 15/1/1911 - 3/5/1990
The sudden death of Lt. Col. Harry Burton at his country home “Melbournia”, in a’Beckett Road was the finale to an association and love of Upper Beaconsfield which commenced more than 70 years ago.
When Harry’s father was demobilised in 1919, he purchased land in Upper Beaconsfield, and Harry was sent to the State School. After six months it was decided to move him to the School at ‘Casely’, in Salisbury Road where the Rev. James Wilson taught a small number of pupils. When this school closed in 1924, Harry returned to the State School for a further year.
In 1926 there was very little work available in Upper Beaconsfield, due to the decline in the apple market, and the weekend visitor numbers were dropping. Harry chose to move to Melbourne where he worked at Ball & Welch, a department store, as a warehouse lad. In 1932 the store opened a self-serve shop in competition with Coles, and Harry was moved to this store where he eventually managed a floor. Whilst there he also met a very nice cashier, Miss Bertha Hankinson of Campbellfield, whom he married. The new store was not a success. Harry decided against continuing work at the main store and returned to the village where he faced many problems.
In 1923 his father had sub-contracted the building of “Cormore”, (now the Milk Bar) which in those days functioned as tearooms and also had a billiard room. All was well until 1927, when the decline in visitors forced him out of business. Later he became a local estate agent. In 1928 he had a severe stroke, which forced him to retire.
Harry accepted the responsibility of supporting his parents, whilst he was in the City but found it very difficult on his return home. He would undertake any work he could find, including cutting wood for eight shillings a cord, ploughing at ten shillings an acre, or making apple cases for three pence each. He also had a one acre plot where he grew vegetables for sale. Another venture was to purchase cattle in Dandenong, drove them to Upper Beaconsfield, and graze them in bushland. Eventually he established regular work, and was able to buy some real estate.
One of his jobs was the care of the property “Glenleith” owned by a dentist, Mr. John Ballantyne, later to be bought by Melbourne Grammar School, who renamed it “Melbournia”. Harry purchased the property from the School after the war, and spent many happy days there. Although his main home was in Melbourne, he was often to be seen riding around his property at weekends.
In 1934 he tendered for the Mail Contract at a rate of two pounds per week. The mail had always been delivered on horseback since Bert Wain first started it in 1923. Harry decided to modernise deliveries, and purchased a Harley-Davidson motorbike for the job. Unfortunately corrugated roads and difficult terrain were too much for the bike.
In 1928 Harry was called up for Compulsory Military Training and finding the life to his liking, joined the permanent Army in the mid 30’s on the advice of General Foott. He went to North Africa and served in Greece and Crete where he was taken prisoner of war, a predicament from which he escaped after several attempts. Harry later retired from the Army as Lieutenant Colonel.
Harry had a great love for the village, and spent a lot of time usually at weekends here. He continued to ride until recent times. His clear recall of the past made him an excellent raconteur and he was often of help with local history.
His funeral was held on 8th May and was exceptionally well attended, indicative of the high regard in which he was held by all who knew him.22 
Land-Note30 Jan 1992 Harry Alexander Burton died on 3/5/90. Probate of his will has been granted to Mollie Rowena Burton of 4 Abbott St North Balwyn Harry Roy Burton of 1 Mary St Hobart Tasmania & Dorothea Brenda Hollingdale of 1249 Toorak Road Burwood.23
