This third volume covers the period 1892-1909, and in this one you will find

statistics from the 1901 Bendigo census which have been recorded.

gleaned primarily from 'The Bendigo Advertiser'. It is a record of events that happened throughout the period, all in
chronological order, giving the reader a quick overview of the
highlights of each year.

elections, the rain of red mud, sports groups and facilities, mining accidents,
