The Errol Flynn Mailbag!

Hi Errol Flynn Blogsters,

I am a teacher at Albuera Street Primary and we are having our centenary celebrations of the Albuera State School later on this year.  I’ve read on your blog about Albuera and Errol’s attendance there.  Some of the corrections have made it much more accurate.

I don’t know what you have about his time at Albuera but would really appreciate anything you have to share.  I am intending to have some of my students (Grade 5/6) research him and put on a bit of a display (of the things primary school-aged kids can read about and see!).  Again, anything that you could point me to, or indeed if you are Hobartian-based, to come and have a chat with us about, would be brilliant.

I was looking at the sparse, but obviously accurate, enrolment records of Errol Leslie Flynn and it shows the terms he was at the school, the days attended and the line written about him when he left: “Gone to Sydney”.  I don’t know if it was meant as a “Thank goodness he is gone!”

Cheers,

Grant Williams
