THE WEATHER. SNOW STORMS. Melbourne Australia

From The Argus (Melbourne) Thursday July 27, 1882 

Yesterday a spectacle of a decidedly novel and, as far as is officially known, unprecedented character, was observed by the citizens of Melbourne and suburbs, viz, a genuine snowfall. It is true that a number of old colonists aver that snow fell on more than one occasion in Melbourne during the first decade of Victorian history, but our meteorological records are silent on the point, and Mr. Ellery, the Government astronomer, whose recollection extends back to 1851, declares that yesterday's snowfall was the first in his Victorian experi-ence. Altogether, Wednesday, July 26, 1882, was a most exceptional day in several respects. Its average temperature is the lowest on record, the thermometer never having risen above 40deg., whilst for the greater part of the day it was as low as 39deg. A lower temperature than the latter has been registered at the Observatory, but only for a very brief period. The peculiarity about yesterday consisted in the uniformly low temperature that prevailed throughout the day, the cold being such as is rarely experienced in thissunny southern clime. It had been raining slightly during the previous night, and Wednesday morning opened with evident signs of a continuance of similar weather. But few were prepared for what took place shortly after 8 o'clock, when mingled snow and rain commenced to descend, reviving old-world memories, and occasioning general expressions of surprise. To young Australians the spectacle of falling snowflakes filling the air was indeed a new experience, and they were enabled to compare the actual reality with the conceptions formed by reading descriptions of similar scenes on the other side of the equator. At about half past 10 a much heavier fall of snow was observed, the flakes being thicker, and in some places temporarily whitening a pretty large area.The fall lasted for about half an hour, during which time large numbers of people in all parts of the city and suburbs watched the unusual sight with keen and evident interest. The fall was by no means confined to the vicinity of the metropolis, for according to the communications of our correspondents, supplemented by information from the Observatory, it has extended over the whole southeastern portion of Australia, and has also embraced the elevated districts of New South Wales. In the latter colony "heavy snow" is reported from Mount Victoria, Carcoar, Walcha, Bendameer, Orange, Armidale, and Kiandra. At the last mentioned township, which is situated in the Alpine region of New South Wales, near the headwaters of the Snowy River, the ground is covered with 20 in. of snow. Throughout the day the snowfall at Mount Macedon was continuous, and precisely the same record comes from Kilmore, Mount Buninyong is capped with 3ft. of snow, and the roofs of the houses in this elevated locality are likewise covered. Ice 3in. thick is also reported from Mount Buninyong. The fall at Lancefield lasted for two hours, and at Beaufort the ground was covered to a depth of more than two inches.The mountains surrounding Ararat are wrapped in a fleecy mantle, and at Smythes-dale snowballing was the popular amusement during the greater portion of the day. On Mount Cole 2ft. of snow was lying, and the saw mills were compelled to suspend work inconsequence. The ranges in the neighbourhoodof Talbot and Stawell were likewise snow-clad during a part of the day. Snow, more or less, is reported from Eltham, Drouin, Waterloo, Camperdown, Maryborough, Ballan, Horsham, Hamilton, and St. Arnaud. Across the Straits a heavy fall in the vicinity of Hobart is announced. Most of the Riverina stations reported fine weather this morning at 9 a.m., although it was dull and like rain at one or two. From Sydney fine weather was reported. At Bourkethe line was down. At Gabo a whole galefrom W.S.W. was blowing. The other New South Wales stations report fine weather....

1831 Thursday 13 October

7 10/.. 12 40/..

Great deal of rain in the night but apparently fair at 7 10/.. and, now at 8, at which hour Fahrenheit 64°. - out at 8 1/2 - Went into the bookseller's shop opposite - bought Chichester guide - they did not burn the bp. [bishop] last night in effigy - the police interfered and prevented the burning - but all the people seem reformers, moderate or radical - then sauntered down to the Cathedral stopping as I went to admire the beautiful gothic market place a little below the hotel (The Swan) -

A verger went all round the cathedral with me and to the top of the tower (about 248 steps) from which springs the steeple, within the latter is a sort of scaffollding by which to secure four ladders, of 40 feet long each, hung, as it were, in air one above another and by which the workmen ascend, and, when at the top, if anything is to be done outside (which has happened without accident 4 or 6 times in the time of this verger, a singing boy in the cathedral 40 years ago) they make a hole in the stone work, and put up a scaffolding on the outside of the steeple - too hazy to see Chichester steeple, or the Portsmouth or the Isle of Wight - but good bird's eye view of the town - not large - merely high Street good and another goodish street or 2 the west Sussex and East Hampshire infirmary is a large handsome looking plain building stone or stuccoed - a small part of boulevard or old rampart left, shaded by 2 rows of fine large elms, the only town walk the inhabitants have - the corporation sold all the rest long ago by bit and bit and it is all built upon - Both inside and outside of the cathedral exceedingly plain - round Saxon arches - no ornament - the interior has been lately cleaned and scraped, so that, the white and yellow wash being gone, the natural colour of the stone is left with great advantage - saw no painted glass -

Walked all thro' the cloisters (3 sides of a square remarkably neat and well kept - roof not underdrawn - of the sweet or chesnut eatable wood that, as is the rest of the cathedral, which spiders have an aversion to, and therefore not a spider's web to be seen - thro' the cloisters, and entered by the South transept door - on one side (right) paintings of all the bps. [bishops] - on the other all the Kings from William the conqueror down to Henry 8 when they were done - this transept screened off by the tomb of St. Richard once famous for the miracles done at his shrine in this cathedral - the transepts communicate with the side aisles of the nave and choir which last takes in the part under the tower roofed in the same height as the rest of the choir - instead of tabernacle work, plain gothicized sort of wainscot of deal painted darkish brown with gild gothic mouldings - looks much better than might be fancied from the description - beyond the choir the Sanctum Sanctorum, a presbytery - handsome and spacious - 2 fine columns of darkish porphyry like Sussex marble (from near Horsham) with 4 smaller columns clustering round them - from the east end of presbytery descend by a few steps into the fine large well-aired vault of the duke of Richmond made in 1750 the 1st. duke buried in westminster abbey till taken up and brought here - 20 coffins there - the broad brickwork bench on which they stand is on arches to prevent damp and there are open windows on each side that the place is as sweet as any other part of the church -

Above the duke's vault is what was the Lady's chapel to which one ascends by a few steps - now the library - in a line with the choir, but much lower - small library - the chapter holds its meetings there - some old brass plates (like small bread and butter plates) a chalice etc. and inscription of William the conqueror's time taken from the tomb of the 2nd bishop - (translated by the reverend Thomas Valentine prebendary of Selsea - the organ is of the time of Charles 2nd - the choir screen very plain gothic of time Henry 6 - 3 pointed arches the middle one much the narrowest - no transept aisles - double aisles on each side nave and choir - fine specimen of quite plain old Saxon - church consecrated 12 September 1199 - believes there is an error about this date in the guide book - several errors - records not consulted that ought and might have been - the belfry tower not mentioned save in a note of errata - a large good loking looking square gothic tower, a little distance from the church built for the bells because of the injury they might do the steeple, as said the verger guide -

In returning, sauntered along High street in spite of its raining a little bought sponge, and a pair of strong leather shoes at a venture - back at 11 50/60 and from then to 1 25/.. breakfast and read the Times - sad rioting work at Derby - and the mob burnt down the duke of Newcastle's Nottingham castle, to the ground on Monday - Very comfortable at Chichester - the Swan a very good Inn-

Off at 1 35/.. - Goodwood (3 miles from Chichester) plantations (duke of Richmond) stretch along the range of down (down) at a little distance north of the town - the duke getting rich - a good economist - has bought a great many farms lately in this neighbourhood - at 1 3/4 pass road (left) to Goodwood and in 5 mins. [minutes] more get a peep of the house - oblong - south part a pediment in the middle and a round topped little round tower at each corner - flattish all around after leaving the Goodwood downs, and not very interesting drive till alight at the Norfolk arms Arundel at 3 10/.. - wait for my 2 servants -

At 3 55/.. at the castle - stands high, on a chalk hill - the low rich ground (some of it let at 6 guins. [guineas] an acre belongs great part to the duke great to the corporation) about it, supposed to have been covered by the sea at the time the castle was first built by the Romans - (no date of the castle) - In proof of the retiring of the sea, anchors and other marine implements have been found on digging - at present this low land forms quite a basin round particularly in front south of the castle - the river Arun running along it with remarkable windings - but if it was not for these windings - these great détours - the tide comes up so strongly that it would force the water, so back as to make it overflow this low land - the Arun runs to the sea and to the Thames - and navigable all the way, sometimes by canal-cuts - the man who shewed the house said Arundel was originally perhaps Arundale -

Arundel Castle c1880 [Image Source]

Magnificent castle - the old ruins fine - particularly the great old ivy covered round Keep Tower where we afterwards saw the 7 large horned american owls - but the present house built on the old site, partly keeping up the old walls (4, and, in places, 5 yards thick) by the late duke, who spent above 30 years and £600,000 in doing it, unfinished as he died and left it - on entering the court, the building forms nearly 3 sides of a square - or a centre and wings - centre 4 stories high - entrance (rather projecting) with its large windows above and on each side of it, 4 tiers of 2 three light windows = 8 - on entering (right) baronial hall and unfinished chapels - (left) library and unfinished saloon - baronial hall tho' not quite finished very fine - magnificent oak plain gothic groined roof - capital model for the hall at Shibden? - chapel a heap of brick and rubbish within not seeable - ditto the saloon -

But the mahogany lined, beautifully gothic wrought library tower which cost above £30,000 - far the most beautiful library I ever beheld anywhere - from the baronial hall, we saw dining room breakfast room fine drawing room etc. (the centre divided by fine long gallery) but I skip all to get to the library - 130 feet long - gallery round mid-height the room and all the windows above the gallery - the galleries finished at the top like aisles, and the middle part finished likewise at the top and partly for a gallery, library, museum! 3 arcades and a sort of transept. then 3 arcades more at the other end - 6 windows on each side, and one transept window on each side = 14 windows - two beautiful white marble chimney pieces on the same side (north east side) that were bought by the late duke at the sale of the duke of Bedford's house in Bloomsbury square pulled down about 38 years ago - of the 1st. chimney piece the 2 large supporting figures are whole lengths of Socrates and Plato, with a square medallion of Archimedes and his attributes in the centre of the architrave - one of the figures of the other chimney piece is said to be Æsculapius - library walls 4 yards thick - the library windows outside seem large churchlike windows - the lower 1/2 of them lights the library - the upper lights rooms above -

The castle and its fortifications stands on 5 1/2 acres of ground - the man thought the baronial hall must be 45 feet high - and the drawing room 25 feet high - he recommended me to see Bignall - the fine old Roman mosaic pavement discovered there - 7 miles from here - on the Petworth road - turn off 4 miles from here at the public house at the foot of Bury hill - 1 5/.. hour in the castle - 20 mins. [minutes] at the old round keep tower and 10 mins. [minutes] looking round about the castle - there is a narrow way and parapet wall all round the front towards the town and the south -

Home at 5 35/.. washed hands had hair done etc. - dinner at 6 in 3/4 hour - then till 8 40/.. wrote all the above of today - very glad to have come round to see this castle - the present duke does nothing at it - leaves all unfinished or not just as the late duke left - the present one has lately bought a large estate here of a Mr. Walker - I look everywhere for models for Shibden - I must be contented to do as little at it as possible - my ideas are too apt to grow too large - from 8 3/4 to 11 1/2 at my travelling account and to my great joy brought it down to tonight - oh! that my private account, cashbook and all the rest were equally well done! - but what I have done is better than nothing - I must work at the rest for a day or 2 in London - a little rain while out this morning at Chichester and a little also as I came here but afterwards (from 3 p.m.) fair - Fahrenheit 65°. now at 11 1/2 - Came to my room at 11 40/.. -

Mildura

4 April

We set off a bit before 10am and hooked up the caravan that was already pretty well loaded and ready to roll.  We just had to transfer a few things between the car and van freezers and off we went.  We were travelling a little lighter than usual because we decided we would not need to put the roof-rack on to carry stuff, we weren’t taking our fire-box so didn’t need to carry firewood; and most of our recovery gear would be redundant due to the more civilised roads we expected to traverse.  Of course, we forgot a few minor things, but nothing all that important.

We got as far as Ballan where our fuel app promised slightly cheaper fuel so we filled up there and set off for Ballarat.  A hundred metres later, I noticed that the fuel warning light was on so we stopped and pondered what to do.  We rang Toyota in Ballarat and they said to bring it in and they would see if they could remedy the matter.  It was just under 40 kilometres and we arrived safely.  We had to wait a while until a young chap came and diagnosed the problem – a clogged fuel filter.  In the course of replacing the filter, he noticed that our special ultrafine after-market inline filter had been disabled – presumably by Toyota last time we had it serviced so I will say a few words to them when we get back home.

A hundred dollars later we were back on the road and ate our lunch at the lovely Lake Lascelles.  En route, we had tried to contact Deanne and Rob who were in the Mildura area in the hope of catching up with them along the way, but they were out of email contact until late in the day and by then, we had driven much further west so we couldn’t rendezvous with them.  They had had a frustrating day trying to do the ‘Loop’ at Lake Mungo, only to find it closed and had retreated to Mildura – while we kept on and camped in Horsham. 

5 April

Next day, we drove up to Mildura, while Deanne and Rob drove home.  The best laid plans of mice and travellers…..

We set up the caravan fairly carefully because it (and the car) had to be left unattended while we away were on our tour – and I explored the local area looking for birds.

6 April

I discovered that I had left my little package of hearing aid batteries at home (how dumb can I be?) so we had to scour Mildura for an audiologist where I could purchase enough to last until we got home again.  We also visited Bunnings and the supermarket for a couple of other items but spent the afternoon chilling in the van.
