This is a small display case glass lid filled with common tags from the commons in Victoria. Quite a lot of them, all stamped with the name of the town Common. What was a common? The Common was a social welfare thing introduced into Australia for people who were not landholders to run a house, to be able to rear their kids. The whole plan of that was to increase the population as quickly as they possibly could. When the animal was put on the common, you paid a 3 or 6 monthly fee.Collection
