The Kookaburra cookery book of culinary and household recipes and hints / collected and arranged by the Committee of The Lady Victoria Buxton Girls' Club, Adelaide, South Australia

The compilation of cookbooks containing private contributions has been a popular fundraising device for over a century.

The Kookaburra cookery book was first published in 1911 as a fundraiser for the Lady Victoria Buxton Girls' Club. The Club was established in 1898, named for the wife of the governor of South Australia. Its aim was to provide evening classes and entertainment for working girls, hopefully preventing them from being lead astray. The cookbook was prepared to raise money for building extensions for the society at their home in Bowen Street.
