I LOVE LIBRARIANS
Librarians at smaller libraries..(like Wollongong City) are sooo nice. They actually want to help you, and it can be quiet off putting at first. However, when you realise it is actually their job to help you do your homework it is an exciting revelation. The kind people from the Wollongong Local History section of the Library made me a small pack of information from their collection which i picked up at 1pm on a Saturday despite the section closing at midday. They did not want me to miss out on the information even though it was my own flawed timing which resulted in me not making it before 12! It really warms the heart.
Anyway: Their information from the Illawarra Historical Society Bulletin, founded in 1944 painted a dramatic backdrop to the Port Kembla Picket where Freddy protested the export of iron to Japan; calling the picket:
"More far reaching than the Eureka Stockade" Ted Roach
all interesting stuff
