Biography of Emily Childers, wife of Hugh Childers. The Childers rented the cottage generally known as Upper Jolimont from Governor La Trobe after Bishop and Mrs. Perry vacated it in 1853. The Childers called the cottage Normont but this name did not survive their occupancy. The author has quoted extensively from Emily's diaries, giving the reader a first hand account of life in Melbourne in the 1850s, especially from a woman's point of view. Index
