Souvenir - Souvenir flag Spirit of Tasmania, 23 Oct 2022
The red souvenir flag with the Spirit of Tasmania name and TT Line logo was made to commemorate the Bass Strait ferry's last sailing from Melbourne. In July 1985, the Spirit of Tasmania 1 made her first voyage to Melbourne and from that date ferried passengers, vehicles and cargo to and from Devonport, Tasmania. Many passenger ferries have been employed in the Bass Strait passenger service since the 1840's. Ships using preceding the Spirt of Tasmania include the Taroona, Princess of Tasmania and the Abel Tasman. The flag was one of many distributed to the crowds gathered on the foreshore to farewell the ship. With her sister ship, Spirit of Tasmania 2, the red and white ferries had been a familiar sight at Station Pier, Port Melbourne for more than three decades.piers and wharves - station pier, spirit of tasmania, tt-line -

Photograph - Fred Rochow Railways Collection - Driver Jack Scmidt's Retirement, 1954
The Fred Rochow Railways Collection incorporates photos related to the operation of the Wodonga Railway Station including different types of trains and railways staff C. 1930 – 1990. It was donated to the Wodonga Historical Society by Fred Rochow, a railwayman who spent many years based in Wodonga. He joined the Victorian Railways on 17th June l947 and retired in 1988. For some time, he was a member of the Australian Federated Union of Locomotive Enginemen and served a term as a member of the Trades Hall Council. He had an extensive knowledge of the struggles that took place to achieve better conditions for railway workers. Fred worked for many years as a fireman and then worked his way up the ranks to driver, experiencing many changes from the days of steam locomotives through to diesel trains, locomotives and even the modern XPT train. He worked throughout Victoria at different stages of his career, with his final working years focused on the northeast of Victoria and the Albury to Melbourne line. After his retirement, Fred continued to share his love of steam miniature trains with the community.This collection has local and statewide significance as it captures images of trains, locomotives and personnel who operated the railway services in Wodonga and throughout Northeast Victoria. The railways played a critical role in opening up Victoria and connecting Australia for trade, business, social communication and transport.Colleagues at the retirement function for Locomotive Driver Jack Schmidt who was one of the Drivers of the "Spirit of Progress" Standing left to right: Alex Reid, Eric Molloy, Cyril Tannock, Ray Murphy Seated: Jack Schmidt railways wodonga, fred rochow, wodonga railwaymen, jack schmidt, spirit of progress -

This window along with the second window in the baptistry was donated by an anonymous donour.

Ephemera - MISS G ALICE JONES COLLECTION: FUEL RATION TICKETS 1 GALLON
Petrol rationing was gazetted in May 1941. Australia's lack of fuel storage options and the diversion of tankers bringing fuel here forced the government to begin rationing. Initially it was proposed that consumption should be reduced by 50% but this was modified to 1/3 reduction. People had to apply for a petrol licence and this was then used to obtain ration coupons. Initially coupons were issued on a 6 monthly basis but this was reduced to 2 monthly and allowed people roughly 2000 gallons per year. Coupons allowed for 1, 2, 5, 10, 44 and 100 gallon amounts depending on need. eg. private, commercial, farm use. Rationing was strictly enforced until 1942 but remained in effect until 1950.Fuel Ration Tickets 1 Gallon: rectangle in shape with perforated edges. Printed in black ink the background is a wall paper of small oval shapes with "Motor Spirit Ration". Over printed is "Commonwealth Liquid Fuel Control Board, in the middle is the commonwealth emblem and Motor Spirit, one 1 Gal, not transferable Ration Ticket". Department of supply & Development issued under National Security Act 1939-40. On the back of each is printed in black ink and hand written is "G. Alice Jones 2(e)/3869".W.C.G. McCracken Australia -

Functional object - Victoria Railways China Plates - Spirit of Progress
These plates were manufactured for use by Victorian Railways. The stylised monogram of "VR" and wings was introduced for the locomotive "The Spirit of Progress", which completed its first journey on 23 November 1937. A badge of this design was also worn by the crew of "The Spirit" and the monogram was also emblazoned on the front of the locomotive. An article published in The Argus of 17 November 1937, in reference to the tremendous power of the locomotive said "The great V.R. monogram flanked with wings spread for flight enhances the illusion." The "Spirit of Progress" travelled between Melbourne and Sydney until its last journey on 2 August 1986.These plates are representative of those used on the iconic locomotive the "Spirit of Progress" which travelled from Melbourne to Sydney from 1937 until 2 August 1986 A collection of 4 plates from Victoria Railways. Made of white "Duraline" chinaware. All bear the insignia of Victoria Railways.Logo of VR in between stylised wings"spirit of progress", victorian railways, steam locomotives -
