Blurb and article tweak to age?
Hello, 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.


 * Western Australian Department of Public Works - Public Works Department (Western Australia)
 * Troldhaugen
 * American Band Masters' Association - American Bandmasters Association
 * "Saga of Grettir the Strong" - italics per is article?
 * in the autumn of 1894 - Australia's autumn (Mar, April, May) or northern?
 * 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.)
