Price was an experienced soldier who raised the Victorian Mounted Rifles in 1885, an early version of the Light Horse concept. He chose khaki uniforms instead of the more British scarlet and blue jackets, and also adopted the slouch hat as part of the uniform. Colonel Price was nearly 58 when he lead the Mounted Rifles into battle in the Second Boer War between February 1900 and September 1900. He must have been an outstanding leader and soldier, because he was placed in charge of all mounted infantrymen in April 1900, including both the Imperial and Colonial forces.

In 1890 the various colonies of Australia met to agree on a standard for military uniforms, and the slouch hat was adopted as an official hat for all Australian infantry forces, except for the artillery. Victorian and Tasmanian forces would wear the hat with the right brim held up by a clip or badge (as depicted in this print), with the other states having the brim up on the left. When Federation occured in 1901, the slouch hat was standardised and became the official Australian Army hat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #003300;\"\u003eThe Victorian Mounted Rifles served (along with many other contingents from the other Australian colonies, as well as many other British Empire forces) during the second Boer War (1899-1902).

Londsdale and tent of surveyor W. Darke. This painting is an early view of Melbourne looking north from the south bank of the Yarra. The river is the central motif, shown from an elevated perspective. Close to the river, the buildings and dwellings of the day are depicted, including the residences of both John Batman and Captain William Lonsdale, and the tent of surveyor WW Darke. Little is known about Hoffmann, although the inscription suggests he lived in South Yarra. The Library holds a larger version of this painting, donated by the Public Library Society in 1957, which includes a legend identifying the buildings and other features depicted.

Boisterous weather beset the tug in the middle of the Red Sea, en route for Perim. Increasing in intensity, storms raged for some days. Seas \"which seemed mountains high\" struck the vessel, until it was deemed advisable to erect a 3 foot timber barricade forward of the bridge. This had scarcely been completed when a high sea struck the wooden structure with terrific force, and carried it overboard. Two of the sailors were swept along the deck by the same wave, and one sustained injuries to his face and back. The worst storms were those which prevailed when the tug was steaming from Singapore to the western coast of Australia, but to use the words of the second engineer, \"She rode the seas like a duck.\" At Fremantle, the lighter Moore was taken in tow for Melbourne. This last stage of the journey was destined to be similar to the first, heavy seas and gales retarding progress. Captain Baxter said yesterday that the Melbourne S.S.

Then in 1979 the monument was positioned in the new City Square on the corner of Swanston and Collins Streets. Its position directly above a waterfall caused some damage from corrosion.

The building occupies the north-east corner of Swanston and Collins Streets and was opened on 9 August 1870, originally without the front portico, which was added in 1887. The architect was Joseph Reed who also designed the State Library of Victoria (1854), The Royal Exhibition Buildings (1879), Melbourne Trades Hall (1873), Rippon Lea Estate (1868), Collins Street Baptist Church (1854) and many other wonderful structures in Melbourne and Geelong. The Melbourne Town Hall still stands today. Unfortunately, a fire in 1925 damaged a major part of the building. Because of the fire the mansard-style roof (as seen in this photo) was destroyed and was replaced by a simpler roof structure. The clock tower is actually called Prince Alfred's Tower, named after Prince Alfred, the Duke of Edinburgh, who officially laid the foundation stone in 1867.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #003300;\"\u003eThis is a magnificent print that has had many hours of work being retouched, to present it as crisp and as clean as we can make it.

The Town Hall towers over pedestrians and a hansom cab in the foreground, partially obscuring the grand Victoria Buildings behind. In 1867 the architects Reed \u0026amp; Barnes won the competition to design a new Town Hall which was subsequently built and opened on 9 August 1870. When the portico was added 18 years later, a contemporary report in The Australasian Sketcher stated that it 'will be of great benefit to the large audiences which so frequently assemble in this building for concerts, balls, dinners, etc'. The smaller structure to the left of the Town Hall is the Police Court which was replaced by the present-day administration building in 1908-10.\u003c\/em\u003e\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #800000;\"\u003e\u003csmall\u003eThis is a digitally retouched reproduction of the original held by the State Library of Victoria.
