Blurb and article tweak to age? edit
Hello Brian, for tomorrow's TFA, in both this blurb and the article, I think his age on departing Australia should be changed from 13 to 12. (Perhaps he was 13 by the time they arrived in Europe?)
These are some possible wlinks which I leave to your judgement. (I had these and other notes re PG on my to do list from a while ago.) Sorry to dump this here at last minute. Nothing urgent except maybe the age in both places if your maths agrees.

- "Saga of Grettir the Strong" - italics per is article?

- in the summer of 1900 Rose - in mid 1900?
- Melbourne's Conservatorium of music - wlink to Melba Memorial Conservatorium of Music? But it's a bit of a distant connection. This fellow George Marshall-Hall established the Melbourne Uni conservatorium 1895, which in 1901 broke away from the university and eventually became the Melba Memorial Conservatorium of Music. (per this and this.)
