The story of Sarah Bladen Neill's attempts to establish a silk industry in Australia.  The story concentrates on her activities in Corowa, Central Victoria and Europe, but its earliest beginnings were in East Melbourne when Sarah lived at Barkly Terrace in Grey Street (now demolished).  The East Melbourne part of the story is told in one of the East Melbourne Historical Society's newsletters, see link below.
