  • Katie Flack – the Diaries of Joseph Jenkins
    48 The diaries of Joseph Jenkins Australian Manuscripts Collection MS 13267 Acquired 1997 From time to time the musical lilt of Welsh voices drifts up towards the decorative ceilings of State Library Victoria’s La Trobe Gallery, the home of the manuscripts team. The geiriau (words) spoken belong to Joseph Jenkins, better known to Australian history buffs as the ‘Welsh Swagman’. Jenkins was born in 1818 in Ceredigion, Mid Wales, to a family of poets and farmers.1 He followed in his forebears’ footsteps until, plagued by personal strife, he set off for the distant shores of Australia at the unlikely age of 51. After arriving in Port Melbourne in 1869, Jenkins meticulously recorded his life as an itinerant labourer and new Victorian. Across 25 diaries (1869–94),2 he documented everything from the exorbitant price of a cabbage in drought- stricken 1860s Melbourne to the latest news about bushranger Ned Kelly, and his belief in Aboriginal land rights. Jenkins, a native Welsh speaker, kept his diaries mainly in English, as they offered him an opportunity to practise his written expression in this less familiar language. But he regularly peppers his texts with poems and notes written in his mother tongue, and in the 1870s and 1880s won recognition at Ballarat eisteddfods for recitations of his englynion (Welsh poetry). Extracts from Jenkins’ Australian diaries were published by his grandson William Evans in 1975 and went into several reprints, but in more recent times slipped off the cultural radar. An enthusiastic team of translators from the South Caulfield Community House Welsh-language group is now transcribing Jenkins’ words for new audiences.

  • The Victorian Diaries of a Welsh Swagman (1869-1894)
    Rachel Solomon The Victorian Diaries of a Welsh Swagman (1869-1894) Introduction In 1997 the State Library of Victoria acquired the Victorian diaries of Joseph Jenkins, comprising part of each of 1869, 1870 and 1871-94.1 After Joseph Jenkins’ death in 1898, in Wales, the diaries were stored in the attic of his daughter Elinor’s farmhouse and, it seems, were forgotten until seventy years later when they were discovered by his great granddaughter, Frances Evans. His grandson, William Evans, thereafter published an ‘Abridged and Annotated’ version of the Australian diaries as Diary of a Welsh Swagman 1869-1894.2 This was an important publication. It not only introduced Jenkins to a reading public, but in addition has become a well-regarded historical account of early Victoria. A Victorian man, Peter Bristow, became interested in the original manuscripts and pursued the possibility of having them returned to Victoria. This subsequently led to their purchase by the State Library of Victoria (hereafter SLV).3 They now take a pride of place as one of only twenty-one items listed online in the Library’s ‘Treasures and Curios’ collection. The Library is currently undertaking a project to transcribe and digitise the manuscript diaries and, thereby, allow for easier access to the full content. William Evans’ version is more limited, comprising an edited, altered and re-presented version of his grandfather’s writings. This article reviews the diaries in a Victorian context. It commences with the circumstances in which Joseph Jenkins suddenly departed from Wales and sailed to Victoria. It concludes with the circumstances in which, many years later, Jenkins left Victoria and returned to Wales.

  • March / Mawrth 2015
    March / Mawrth 2015 Message from the minister We journey through Lent at Dewi Sant with the weekly ritual of placing items on a cross made from a Christmas tree. It is a time to consider the trials and suffering of Jesus at the hands of vindictive leaders. May we reflect on our individual journey as believers, looking deep inside to find what we can learn from our personal Lenten observance. God gives us opportunities to grow as we continue to worship together. Bendithion, Rev Anne ~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~~*~*~*~ Heavy rains remind us of challenges in life. Never ask for a lighter rain, just pray to God for a better umbrella. - That is the attitude Life is not about finding the right person, but creating the right relationship. It's not how we care in the beginning, but how much we care till the very end. Some people always throw stones in your path. It depends on what you make with them; a Wall or a Bridge? - Remember you are the architect of your life. Search for a good heart, but don't search for a beautiful face, because beautiful things are not always good, but good things are always beautiful. It’s not important to hold all the good cards in life, but it’s important how well you play with the cards you hold. Often when we lose all hope and think this is the end, remember God and pray, it’s just a bend, not the end.' Have faith and have a successful life. One of the basic differences between God and humans is, God gives, gives and forgives.
