A Mouse pad with three columns of texts; image of two soldiers culpture in the middle and a crimson ribbon text "ANZAC to Adelaide 7 RAR 50th Reunion 2015" on the top and "Proudly sponsored by Defence Hhealth" at the bottom. The first column reads: In the Days of our youth, they hardly knew our name, We were young Australians, The public cried our shame. Galvanised to a bond, Like out fathers before, We followed the ANZACS, Into the fray of war. Time has been the jury, the ledger is now clean, Truth walks proudly inside, The places we have been. The years erode the lies, And sweep away the pain, Pride lives in our nation, and so we march again. Sit my fried on comfort, Enjoy a well-earned rest, Let time tel our story, We were the very best. And just quietly ponder, As you go 'bout your day, The names not here with us, We lost along the way. by Victor Winston Dale. In the other two coloums lists the names of those who lost their lives.ANZAC to Adelaide 7RAR 50th Reunion 2015, Proudly sponsored by Defence Health7 rar, mouse pad, reunion -

Kew Historical Society Inc
Badge - Badge of Office, Vice-President Auburn Heights Bowling Club, 1980-1990
Sports Clubs in Kew in the final decades of the 19th century and in the early 20th century were often umbrella organisations with facilities for a number of sports. Typically in Kew, this included teams in lawn bowls, tennis and croquet. The Kew Bowling Club was formed in 1880 while the privately owned Auburn Heights Recreation Club was opened in 1904. By 1998, the two Clubs decided to amalgamate at the Auburn Heights site in Barkers Road, forming the Kew Heights Sports Club. The combined club was itself taken over by the Melbourne Cricket Club in 2012 becoming MCC Kew Sports Club. In 2017 MCC Kew closed and its landholding was subsequently sold to Carey Baptist Grammar School. Both the Kew and Auburn Heights Clubs assembled important collections. These historically significant and large collections were donated to the Society in 2020. The collections include manuscripts, pictures, trophies, plans, honour boards etc. References Barnard FGA 1910, 'Sports and Pastimes' in Jubilee History of Kew Victoria: Its origin & progress 1803-1910. Chapman J & C 1999, The history of the Auburn Heights Recreation Club, 1904 to 1908. Reeve S 2012, City of Boroondara: Thematic Environmental History, p.216.The combined collections of the four sporting clubs making up the collection number hundreds of items that are historically significant locally. They are also significant to the sporting history of the greater Melbourne area and to the sports of lawn bowls and tennis in Australia in the 19th and 20th centuries. The collection illuminates two of the Victorian historic themes - 'Building community life' through forming community organisations and 'Shaping cultural and creative life' by participating in sport and recreation.One of five metal and enamel medallions, labelled singly AHRC President, AHBC Past President, AHBC Vice President, AHBC Secretary, AHRC Life Member; and AHRC tiepin.auburne heights recreation club - barkers road - kew (vic), badges of office -

Equipment similar to that worn by commandos involved in Rip Disaster. On the evening of February 17, 1960, 74 peacetime commandos in army boats set off on a training exercise from Point Lonsdale to Point Nepean, simulating a raid. Swept out to sea through The Rip as they crossed the bay from Point Lonsdale, George ''Taffy'' Drakopoulos and Eddie Meyer drowned before they could be rescued. Another man, Roger Wood, selflessly helped his fellow commandos up a rope ladder to safety from a Zodiac inflatable, only to be flung off the end into an angry sea somewhere beyond The Rip. The three dead men were all from Melbourne, all aged around 20.Lifeboat Queenscliff assisted in the search for the lost commandos in February 1960Army commando webbing belt and pair of gaiterswebbing, uniform, commandos, rip disaster -
