Mabel Mary Taylor (1874 – 26 January 1909) is best remembered for the 18 months that she spent in Alice Springs as the governess to the family of Thomas Bradshaw, the postmaster at the Alice Springs Telegraph Station between 1905 and 1907. During her period with the Bradshaw family she wrote a series of diaries and letters which were published, in a compiled form, in 2011. Her records furnish some lively accounts of people and daily life in the early years of Alice Springs, which was then called Stuart, when it was a tiny one-hotel settlement and give details about the children she taught (including Doris Blackwell; another strong character is Amelia Kunoth), the clothes she wore, remote places she visited, passing explorers and missionaries and the active social life of the settlement.

  • As I write this date I cannot help feeling an exultant thrill at the thought that, all being well, I shall be seeing you again in exactly two months from tonight. Only three more mails to go before we start. The forth train will take us too. (en)
  • Our new governess, Mabel Taylor, did an unheard of thing: she made divided skirt to wear while riding a horse – a long, full, and discreet skirt, to be sure, covering her to the very ankles, but a divided skirt, nevertheless, which would enable her to ride astride rather then side-saddle. Never had a woman been seen in that country riding any other then side-saddle. Quite a few of the locals were shocked, or made out that they were, by this daring innovation. (en)
  • Doris is quite as tall as I am, although only fourteen, and is immensely proud of the fact. She is an exceptionally nice girl and we are great chums... she is the most natural and unspoiled girl. (en)
