Summary
| Description |
English: The Welsh Swagman Drinking Fountain commemorates Joseph Jenkins, and marks the centenary of his departure to Wales after 25 years in central Victoria. It is also in recognition of 'his monumental contribution to the life of a rural worker in Victoria as recorded in his diaries'.
Jenkins also wrote poetry, winning numerous prizes at the Ballarat Eisteddfod. His noteworthiness stemmed from the rich documentation of his experiences and thoughts that have survived. In 1839 he had begun to keep a journal in order to improve his English, maintaining it daily until his death. Those he kept in Australia provided a unique and memorable primary source for the social, cultural and labour history of colonial Victoria. They are preserved in the State Library of Victoria, in Melbourne. |
