Thirza Pidgeon’s 1937 World Tour – 22 February: Melbourne

Monday,  22 February 1937

Arrived in Melbourne about 7 today, after a very rough trip from Hobart. Lost the quarter master overboard on Sunday night during the storm, very sad. Met the smartest thing. Had dinner at Myers; good meal, a lovely shop. Took train to St Kilda, had a good look around. Back to boat for dinner. Very cold & wet.

Thirza Pidgeon’s 1937 World Tour – 20 February: Arrived in Hobart

Saturday, 20 February 1937

Arrived in Hobart – very pretty coming up the harbour. Went to town with Mr [John Thomas, aged 36] & Mrs Spriggins, then out to Sandy Bay; very nice run. Went out to see Doris Blake, back at Sandy Bay. Had lunch with Doris and the family. Came back with her to the hotel. Had 2 ales, then went to the boat. Left again at 6, for Melbourne, very nice coming down the coast turning into bad weather.
