Congratulations to the two successful applicants of the 2011 Viva Cribb Bursary, Maurine Lyon and Tracey Olivieri.

Maurine Lyon is researching the history of the Ipswich City Vice-Regal Band and will produce a book on the subject called “The Regals; the history of the Ipswich City Vice-Regal Band”.

Tracey Olivieri is compiling a book titled “In heavenly garb : the headstones of Ipswich General Cemetery”. The book will incorporate a brief history of the cemetery, explain some of the symbolism surrounding the headstones and histories on some of the residents interred there.
