Marburg Pub, circa 1891
Living and Writing among the Historical Ghosts of the Rosewood Scrub
Telling stories
My fictional family, the Jaeckels, left Marburg, Germany after the Prussian takeover in 1866 and ended up in Marburg, in the colony of Queensland, Australia. This is my story of writing their story.
On history:
"Our apparatniks will continue making
the usual squalid mess called History:/
all we can pray for is that artists,/
chefs and saints may still appear to blithe it."

Breath-taking.
That is deserving of putting on the wall.
I read about your relative designing houses. There is a house near where I live that reminds me of Nellie McCredie's style. How do I find out if this one is hers too?
I don't think there is any list of houses that Nellie designed. The only possibility is that I do have some of her drawings and portfolio and the house design may be in there. Feel free to email me the address of this house at blithe.auden@gmail.com and I will see what I can track down.
