An account of the resource
James Walsh Edney used his "Day Book" for many different purposes, including:
- an account book for his blacksmith sales from the 2nd December 1889 to the 22nd May 1890;
- a record of his wages received from Rae & Wright, blacksmiths, from the 8th July 1890 until 14th December 1895;
- a record of his wages received from A Hely from 9th January to the 29th August 1896;
- a diary, noting down general observations and call out to fires as part of his duties as Captain of the Wagga Wagga Fire Brigade (his diary entry starts in August 1893 and ended on the 7th of September 1896);
- a record of hours worked by the firemen on duty with their rates and pay.
The JW Edney "Day Book" also contains other miscellaneous items including drawings and poetry, the most noticeable being a poem written on the 3rd of April 1907 in remembrance of his son, Albert Edward, after he drowned in the Murrumbidgee River (entry shown above).

Photograph of Fitzmaurice Street in flood during the very wet year of 1891. The water has not completely covered the entire street but the lower lying areas have already been inundated. The photographer is standing just to the north of the Fitzmaurice - Kincaid Street intersection, with the verandah of the Prince of Wales Hotel just to their left.

Unidentified Hotel during 1891 Flood

1891
Description
An account of the resource
Photograph of people outside an unknown hotel in Fitzmaurice Street, during one of the 1891 floods in Wagga Wagga. In the foreground, the water is up to the horse's chest, while three men try to keep their feet dry by standing on the carriage.
Above them on the verandah are a group of women and men, presumably employees or customers of the hotel. Three men and a boy are seated on the verandah roof with playing cards in hand, demonstrating that not even such a flood as this will deter them from their game.
