1 1 y separately published work icon The Wayside Goose Ye Wayside Goose Hal Stone (editor), Sydney Partrige (editor), Woollahra : Presse of Ye Wayside Goose , 1905-1906 Z1302211 1905-1906 periodical (2 issues) Ye Wayside Goose was established in Sydney in 1905 by a group of amateur journalists known as The Waysiders. Linked to the Australian Amateur Press Association (AAPA), the group had originally formed in Melbourne in the mid to late-1890s, and when one of its members, Hal Stone moved to Sydney he formed a Sydney chapter. The new group, which included Martin C. Brennan, Fred J. Cousins, and Phil Stone, set up the Presse of Ye Wayside Goose and began publishing their own magazine - in similar fashion to the Melbourne chapter's Australian Kangaroo (later Victorian Kangaroo and Ye Kangaroo).

The debut issue of Ye Wayside Goose included the programme for the first convention of the Australian Amateur Press Association, for who Stone had become the Sydney Secretary. In February the following year Stone and 'Sydney Partridge' co-deited a new series, which they titled simply Wayside Goose. As Lurline Stuart notes" 'Containing articles, poems, press news and notes and illustrated advertisements for Stone's Printing Works, [the new version] ran for ten numbers, closing in October 1906' (p.76).

The idea of being the first in the field, or sea, originated during a conversation between Chas W. Heins and I. Asking if such a nautical magazinelette had ever been issued by any American amateur, and being assured in the negative, preparations were at once made to have Australia hold this honour.
The magazinelette comprises extracts from the Captain's Log, along with a selection of poems and prose pieces contributed by Stone, several members of the American Amateur Press Association, and writers from England and Australia. The contributors include: Charles W. Heins, Alice Heins, Louis E. Bisch, Foster Gilroy, M. Effie Lee, Dr Ed. B. Swift, Fred J. Cousins, Martin C. Brennan and Frank L. T. Wilmot.
