Book - Table of Eight - A life in service to humanity, Brian Neldner, 2025
This book is the memoir of Dr Brian Neldner who dedicated over 40 years of his life supporting refugees around the world through his service with the Lutheran World Service. After World War II, a mass exodus of refugees from war torn Europe occurred, resulting in the arrival of more than 300,000 people to Bonegilla Migrant Centre near Wodonga, Victoria over a 20 year period. In 1947, many of the migrants arriving at the Bonegilla Migrant Centre were Lutherans, so the Lutheran pastor in Albury, Rev Dr Bruno Muetzelfeld started visiting the Centre which at times housed more than 1,000 Lutherans. He soon became the full-time Chaplain. In 1950, the newly-formed Lutheran World Federation decided a base was needed in Australia to help with the resettlement of refugees, and the Lutheran Church’s aid agency was born – Lutheran World Service-Australia with its first headquarters in Albury. In 1955, Brian Neldner joined the team as a case-work assistant and for the first 5 years of his work lived at Bonegilla in the same basic conditions as the newly arrived people he supported. This was the beginning of an amazing life of four decades of service to refugees throughout the world. In 1960 he became the head of Lutheran World Service – Australia (LWS-A) In 1964, Dr Neldner moved to Tanzania to head up the new LWS program. The next 40 years of his life included working to assist refugees in places such as Mauritania, India, Ethiopia, the Middle East and making a major contribution to international cooperation regarding support for refugees including the Steering Committee for the Humanitarian Response for the United Nations in Geneva.A memoir of 573 pages including photographs.non-fictionThis book is the memoir of Dr Brian Neldner who dedicated over 40 years of his life supporting refugees around the world through his service with the Lutheran World Service.

Photograph - School Photo, Fotek School Portraits, Jacana Primary School Grade Prep/1 1998, 1998
his group photograph of the Grade Prep/1 class at Jacana Primary School, taken in 1998, stands as a meaningful testament to the school’s lasting impact on the Jacana community. Founded in 1959 and active until the early 2000s, Jacana Primary was more than an educational institution—it was a vital hub of community life. Through decades of service, it fostered a spirit of inclusion, learning, and shared experience that shaped the lives of countless students and families. The image not only preserves the youthful faces of its students but also encapsulates the values of camaraderie, diversity, and belonging that were central to the school’s ethos. As a visual document, it offers valuable insight into the everyday experiences of school life and reflects the broader social and educational environment of Jacana during that era.The 1998 Grade Prep/1 class photograph from Jacana Primary School holds enduring historical and cultural value as a representation of the school’s pivotal role within the Jacana community. Established in 1959 and operated until the early 2000s, Jacana Primary was a foundational institution that contributed significantly to the educational and social development of the area. This image is significant not only as a record of the students and staff of that time but also as a reflection of the school’s inclusive and community-oriented ethos. It embodies the values of diversity, belonging, and collective identity that defined the school’s culture. As a visual artifact, it offers insight into the lived experiences of local families and the broader educational landscape of late 20th-century suburban Melbourne. The photograph serves as a tangible link to the past, preserving the memory of a place that shaped generations and fostered a strong sense of community connection.A vibrant laminated colour photograph featuring a group of children and staff seated in three rows.

Book, Hugh McCrae, Georgiana's journal, 1992
Melbourne 1841-1865 Georgiana McCrae was the grandmother of the poet Hugh McCrae and one of the most graceful of Australia's early diarists. In 1841, only six years after Melbourne was founded, she arrived in the Port Phillip district where she was to spend forty-nine of her eighty-seven years. Her journal is not only a fascinating personal document but an invaluable reflection of the social life and history of the infant settlement. As well as being an artist of considerable talent—even genius (she had been a favourite pupil of the water-colourist John Varley), Georgiana had been an indefatigable diarist since she was a little girl; and to this cultivated and therefore perhaps lonely young woman in the embryo town that was Melbourne her journal was her confidant and companion. Whether she is telling how Bishop Broughton "exonerated the Popish party from the blame in the Gunpowder Plot", or how her son was within an inch of treading on a snake which I killed with the stick of my parasol", whether she is spring cleaning, combating a grasshopper plague, or making a velvet bonnet for her daughter, she is always perceptive and arresting in recording her daily life and the affairs of the colony.non-fictionMelbourne 1841-1865 Georgiana McCrae was the grandmother of the poet Hugh McCrae and one of the most graceful of Australia's early diarists.
