Postcard, Unknown, Kew Cemetery, 1905
This view of the Boroondara General (Kew) Cemetery is dated to 1905 by the inscription and postmark on the reverse. It provides an important visual record of this part of the Cemetery. The postcard can be used to identify the original configuration of the roads and vegetation, some of which was subsequently removed (eg the bunya pine at right). On the Victorian Heritage Database, the construction period given for the Springthorpe Memorial is given as 1897-1907, yet this view of the Memorial in 1905 would suggest that it was virtually completed at an earlier date. (It should be noted that additions such as the wheel of life sculpture were not completed until 1910).This dated photograph is historically important as its inscription confirms it to be one of the earliest postcard representations of the Boroondara General (Kew) Cemetery. It also provides visual evidence of the size and extent of the landscaping by 1905, particularly the layout of the roads (now altered), plantings of the period, and the extent of the land occupied by the Springthorpe Memorial and its gardens, which was subsequently reduced by the trustees of the cemetery in the 1930s. Panoramic view of the entrance driveway in Boroondara General (Kew) Cemetery. At left can be seen the Springthorpe Memorial, and further down on the left the entrance gate, or one of the gates, to the Memorial. Inscribed on reverse: "Miss Brown / Shuan [sic] / Grosvenor Street / M. Brighton. Love from Mother Oct 28th 1905" Postmark: "Melbourne 8 / 2 PM, 28/10/05".springthorpe memorial, boroondara general (kew) cemetery, postcards -- cemeteries -

Photograph - AUTOMAP 2 Production - Army Survey Regiment, Fortuna, Bendigo, c1986
This collection of 23 photos of map production on the AUTOMAP 2 computer-based system in Air Survey and Cartographic Squadrons, was most likely taken in 1986. The AUTOMAP 2 system was an upgrade to the AUTOMAP 1 system, comprising Intergraph graphic edit workstation terminals networked to VAX 750/785 main frame computers. Unlike AUTOMAP 1, operators could display digital topographic features on monitors for editing. Successful adaptation of this system meant RASvy was at the forefront of digital mapping/cartographic systems in Australia and overseas. The system comprised Input (Wild B8 Aviograph feature extraction) Raster Scanning (digitising from compilation sheets, Graphic Edit (cartographic completion) and Plot Verification Sub Systems. The system was operational from 1984 to its ‘Newheart’ upgrade in 1993. Throughout its life, the system was progressively refined with productivity gains, achieved from award winning technical development in-house by talented and innovative Army Survey Regiment personnel.This is a set of 23 photograph of AUTOMAP 2 production at the Army Survey Regiment at Fortuna, Bendigo, c1986. The photographs were on 35mm colour slides and were scanned at 96 dpi. They are part of the Army Survey Regiment’s Collection. .1) - Photo, colour, c1986, AUTOMAP 2 Production - Army Survey Regiment, Fortuna, Bendigo. c1986. .2) - Photo, colour, c1986, AUTOMAP 2 Wild B8 Aviograph stereoplotter. .3) - Photo, colour, c1986, AUTOMAP 2 Wild B8 Aviograph stereoplotter feature extraction, unidentified technician. .4) - Photo, colour, c1986, Wild B8 Aviograph stereoplotter feature extraction, LCPL Raelene (Munting) Brodie. .5) - Photo, colour, c1986, AUTOMAP 2 computer tape maintenance, SPR Steve Linane. .6) - Photo, colour, c1986, AUTOMAP 2 Graphic Edit Workstation, SPR Steve Linane. .7) to .8) - Photo, colour, c1986, AUTOMAP 2 Graphic Edit Workstation, unidentified technician. .9 to .10) - Photo, colour, c1986, AUTOMAP 2 Graphic Edit Workstation. .11) - Photo, colour, c1986, AUTOMAP 2 Graphic Edit Workstation feature coding and command menu. .12) - Photo, colour, c1986, AUTOMAP 2 high resolution computer monitor. .13) to .16) - Photo, colour, c1986, AUTOMAP 2 production output comparison to AUTOMAP 1. .17) to .18) - Photo, colour, c1986, AUTOMAP 2 computer system components. .19) - Photo, colour, c1986, AUTOMAP 2 Intergraph 7596 verification plotter. .20) - Photo, colour, c1986, AUTOMAP 2 Benson verification plotter, SPR Steve Coulson. .21) - Photo, colour, c1986, AUTOMAP 2 drainage, contour, roads and cultural digital data verification plot. .22) - Photo, colour, c1986, AUTOMAP 2 drainage, contour, roads and cultural digital data on computer monitor. .23) - Photo, colour, c1986, AUTOMAP 2 3D digital terrain model on computer monitor. .1P to .23P - Some of the equipment is annotated on the frame of the 35mm slides.royal australian survey corps, rasvy, army survey regiment, army svy regt, fortuna, asr, automap 2 -

Photograph Album, Kodak, Phillip Island Cemetery, c 1990
The Album was compiled by Nancy McHaffie late 1990's, with the assistance of Edith Jeffery's, with her book "Garden of Memories" and extensive knowledge of Phillip Island. The Cemetery lies back from the road and is surrounded by Manna Gums, rare Peppermint Gums, Blackwoods and other native trees. In all 25 acres of land were set aside as Crown Land in the land settlement of 1868. There are 6.2 acres of wetlands near the cemetery entrance.2 Photographs: 466-08 Notice of the Unmarked Graves. Although the land for the cemetery was granted in 1870, a survey was not made until 1903 hence the existence of unmarked graves. 466-09 A disastrous fire swept through the cemetery in 1943, destroying many structures around the graves - hence the rule "no wooden structures". the Hitching Posts were used for tying up hrses during a funeral service. They were erected in 1912 and now only two remain.phillip island cemetery, nancy mchaffie, edith jeffrey -
