"Sir Henry Bolte has successfully played many different roles in life ranging from gold fossicker to Premier, but the one which has given him the most sustained personal satisfaction is that of successful farmer-Bolte from Bamganie, the man who eventually put the blue ribbon of prosperity across Victoria. Bolte was a lucky politician. Even his short easily manipulated name was fortunate with the media. Right timing put him into office in the first place and although he can be credited with much of Victoria's prosperity during his long term of office, the time was right for growth, particularly in the city of Melborune-'Bolte's Melbourne.'
