I didn't realise that the 'rivalry' between NSW and Victoria existed so long ago!! Windsor & Richmond Gazette, Saturday, March 3, 1900 - page 5 The Victorians' Disaster. Did we call yer "Cabbage Garden," did we jeer about your cheek ? That was only in the little things and small ! What's become of all the rivalry of which we used to speak ? It's vanished when the Empire made a call. If we're rivals in the little things we're partners in the great. And it's "hands across the Murray" when there's danger at the gate, And our hearts like yours are heavy at those gallant horses' fate. For we're all of us Australians after all ! - Orange Leader.
