Recent
tours: Lauriston Girls
School
Recently I was contacted to
accompany a school tour group from Lauriston Girls School Yr 9
students for 2 days.
We visited sites such as Glenrowan
(Siege site), Beechworth (site of Ned's preliminary trial ),
Greta (Kelly Homestead), Powers Lookout, Mansfield (Police Memorial and Cemetery) and
culminating in an overnight camp at Stringybark Creek (site of
Police shootings) It was a fantastic trip , what a way to learn
history !!!!
   
Here is a testimonial I
received from the organising teacher , Mr Tom Hall and a beautiful
thank you poster sent from the students.
To whom it may
concern:
Paul joined our School on a tour of
Kelly Country lasting two days. His presence and ability with the
large group was unquestionable.
He knew his material backwards and
presented it in an authentic and professional manner. He planned and
executed historical experiences that were beyond the abilities of
the classroom teacher and added a dimension to our study that could
only come from a descendant of the Gang.
Paul is a passionate historian and a
valuable resource to any school or organisation wishing to study
this aspect of Australian History. He shares his knowledge in a well
considered and student-friendly manner and I would strongly
recommend Kelly Gang Educational Services without hesitation.

Dear Paul,
On Behalf of the Howqua girls we would
like to thankyou for you generosity of time and effort. We all
really appreciate your view and understanding of the Kelly history,
your insight is irreplacable and something we cannot get anywhere
else. Your passion for Australian History is very admirable.
Thankyou for educating us.
Best
Wishes Lauriston's "Howqua Girls" 2005
