About the blog

A long time ago I became ill and started a website called HAT- the History of Australian Theatre to pass the time while I recovered.

I  got better and started to work again, and I also began to juggle. The website became too much to continue, although I was still very interested in Australian Theatre History. I collected postcards, and read about theatre history and wanted to continue researching it.

So I started this blog to share some of that work.

This blog is designed to post snippets about Australian Theatre History and some details of my collection.. It contains information about items I haven't researched and other miscellaneous information about theatre history which catch my eye from time to time.

At present I am focussed on Australian Juggling History. 

I have a flickr photostream that has around 900 photos of my extensive postcard/photo collection. The link is on the right hand side of the main page. This is continuously updated as I collect more and more postcards. 

I have started to catalogue my theatre programmes on e-hive. This is a project that I've had in mind for a long time, it's ongoing. There's a link to it on the side bar.

I'm also a mad juggler with a keen interest in Australian juggling history.
