NSW PREMIER'S HISTORY PRIZE

Early last year I decided to enter my MAWBEY FAMLY AUSTRALIA blog in the NSW Premier's History Prize competition. The cut-off date for works entered was the end of March 2010, and I thought I could not make any more entries until after the awards were made. Imagine my disappointment when I was told last August that they did not receive my entry, despite it being sent Express Post and me taking some material into their office on the closing date. I had also sent them several emails with my phone number included prior to submitting my entry, so it was not as if they could not get in touch with me.
