1844 : Born in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.
1906 : Alfred SOLOMON, one of the thirteen children of Joseph and Sarah, affectionately recalled in 1906 his earliest years at his parents' farm by the Salt Water River (now the Maribyrnong River): 'The river teemed with fish in the season, and like the swamp which then existed near the site of Maidstone, was covered with wildfowl. Though not in very large numbers, plover, quail, snipe, native companions, turkeys and occasionally a flock of emus were found on the plains. Cockatoos, parrots and pigeons with many kinds of smaller birds, lived in the trees and scrub. At night the weird sound of the curlew could be heard. The river valley was the haunt of the kingfisher and the laughing jackasses announced the approach of morn and evening. Hawks, owls and other birds of prey, played their part in the order of nature, and the eagle from the mountain ranges visited the settlers' flocks and carried off their lambs."
1912 : Died in East Brunswick, Victoria, Australia.
