The Sanyo VHF colour television is thought to have been assembled in Wodonga, as Sanyo was one of the international companies that set up business in Wodonga in the 1970s as part of the de-centralisation of industry and continued operation into the 1980s. The Sanyo Australia Pty. Ltd. factory in Wodonga opened in 1974 with 35 staff and production peaked in 1976-1977 when it employed 360 people. In the first ten years 350,000 televisions were assembled from Japanese parts, however by 1984 the number of staff had reduced to 112 and the factory closed in 1987. All Sanyo televisions were then imported from Japan. The Sanyo VHF colour television has local, state and national significance as it is thought to have been assembled in Sanyo Australia's factory in Wodonga. Sanyo was one of the international companies that set up business in Wodonga as part of the decentralisation of industry in Australia in the 1970s-1980s.Cream and black plastic Sanyo VHF colour televison, with the Sanyo logo and one large circular VHF control knob for the different channels on the proper left black plastic panel, and one small off-on volume knob at the bottom of the black plastic panel.

Plow planes like this were widely used by woodworkers, cabinetmakers, and carpenters from the 18th to early 20th centuries for cutting grooves (plows) in wood to fit panels, joints, or decorative moldings. Before modern power tools, these hand planes were essential for precise joinery work in furniture making, cabinetry, and timber construction. The adjustable wooden rods allowed craftsmen to control the cutting width, making it a versatile tool for different woodworking applications. J BEDWORTH/BUNWORTH?The item is a wooden adjustable plow plane, a traditional carpentry and joinery tool used for cutting grooves or channels in wood. The plane consists of a solid wooden body with a slot for an iron cutting blade (not visible in the image). It has two pairs of wooden rods, which extend from the sides and are used to adjust the cutting width and depth. A metal thumbscrew on top is used to secure the blade or depth stop in place. The tool has a well-worn patina, with visible scratches, dents, and signs of age, indicating extensive use.timber plane, tool, farm equipment, commercial equipment, wood, carpenters, cabinetmakers, builders

This type of camera was widely used from the 1880s to the early 20th century, particularly by portrait and landscape photographers. Bellows cameras were highly portable compared to earlier box cameras, making them ideal for field photography. They used glass plate negatives coated with light-sensitive emulsions, requiring long exposure times. Lancaster & Son of Birmingham was a well-known British manufacturer producing high-quality field and studio cameras. Most likely used by Horace WOOMLER of Natimuk to photograph life and events in the town between late 19th and early 20th centuries.This is a late 19th to early 20th-century large-format bellows camera, commonly used for plate photography. The camera consists of: A wooden box frame, likely made from mahogany or walnut, with brass fittings for stability and adjustment. A black accordion-style bellows, which extends and contracts to adjust the focal length. A brass lens with a focusing ring, housed in a wooden front panel, which moves forward and backward along a track system for focus control. A ground glass focusing screen at the back, where photographers would compose and focus the image before inserting a glass plate negative. Brass knobs, hinges, and fasteners, allowing for precise control of the camera’s focus, tilt, and positioning. A small nameplate on the top, identifying the manufacturer as Lancaster & Son, Birmingham, a well-known British camera maker. A lens cap is placed in front of the camera, indicating that this was a manual exposure camera, where the photographer would remove the cap to expose the plate.The nameplate at the top reads "LANDCASTER & Son, Birmingham", identifying the manufacturer.natimuk, arapiles, camera, film, photography, instagraph, horace woolmer, commercial item

The black and white photograph depicts the Lady Bay Lighthouse Complex at Flagstaff Hill, Warrnambool. It was opened on this site in 1871. From left to right, the Chartroom (previously named the Store), Upper Lighthouse, Flagstaff, Lighthouse Keeper's Quarters. The bluestone buildings are facing North on Merri Street. The Harbour Pilot's Lodgings were on the east of the Complex. There are two unknown male figures standing in front of the light-coloured picket fence that encompasses the Complex. The photograph is mounted on card. WARRNAMBOOL'S LADY BAY LIGHTHOUSES In the 1800s ships sailing from England to Australia began to use Bass Strait as a faster route to Melbourne. Small navigation errors led to many tragic shipwrecks. From 1848 lighthouses were operating along Victoria’s southern coast as a guide for sailors. Coastal towns such as Warrnambool grew and the exchange of trade and passengers was of great benefit. However, the uncertain weather changes, relatively shallow waters and treacherous, hidden rocky reefs were not really suitable for a Harbour and in the 1840s and 1850s, there were many shipwrecks in the area, with some even stranded in its Lady Bay harbour. A jetty was built in 1850 and a flagstaff to guide seafarers was placed up high on what became known now as Flagstaff Hill. In November 1857 the Victorian Government recommended that Warrnambool Harbour had beacons and two lighthouses to guide vessels into and out of the Harbour safely. The white light of the Middle Island lighthouse was to be used for the first time on September 1, 1859. The red light of the Beach Lighthouse, a wooden obelisk structure, was first operated on March 25, 1860, but in 1868 this light was ‘discontinued’ due to it being too low. Melbourne’s Department of Public Works decided to relocate the Middle Island Lighthouse Complex - Lighthouse, Keeper’s Quarters, Privy, Store Room and even water tanks - to Flagstaff Hill. The lower obelisk was shortened, and a protruding gallery, railing, and external ladder were added, and the light from the Beach Lighthouse. A green guiding light was erected on the end of the jetty. The transfer of the Complex began in March 1871. Each shaped stone of the lighthouse was carefully numbered, removed then reassembled on Flagstaff Hill. In 1872 the well was sunk behind the Lighthouse Keeper’s Cottage. The Keepers and families had left Middle Island in April and moved to Flagstaff Hill in October 1871. Vessels entering Lady Bay align the Upper and Lower Lighthouse towers during the day and the lights at night. The Upper Lighthouse is a round tower, and the Lower Light is square. The Lighthouses were categorised as harbour lights rather than coastal lights, so they remain under the control of the Victorian Government’s Ports and Harbours section. The lights were originally powered by oil, then acetylene gas, later by electricity, and then converted to solar power in 1988. In 1993 the solar panel was replaced by a battery charger. A decision was made in 1936 to replace the lighthouses’ lights with unattended lights that no longer required Keepers and Assistants. At least 29 Keepers had attended to the lighthouse from its opening in 1859 to when the last official Lightkeepers left In April 1916. The Warrnambool Harbour Board rented out the Quarters from 1916 to 1936. The Board closed down but the rentals continued with other unknown landlords. In the 1970s the Flagstaff Hill Planning Board was set up under the chairmanship of John Lindsay. The Board was to make recommendations to the Warrnambool City Council regarding using the buildings and the rest of the Crown Land on the site. The Flagstaff Hill Maritime Village opened in 1975 and began renovating the Cottage in stages, during which time evidence of a 1920s fire was found in the eastern section of the cottage. Additions of a porch on the west and a washroom on the east were made in the 1980s. The western part of the building is now a Shipwreck Museum and the east has returned to a late 19th-century Lighthouse Keeper’s cottage and includes the screen made by Assistant Lighthouse Keeper Thomas Hope in the late 19th century. He served as Assistant Keeper in Warrnambool for two periods.The Warrnambool Lighthouse Complex is now listed on the Victorian Heritage Register, H1520, for being of historical, scientific (technological) and architectural significance to the State of Victoria. The Complex is significant as an example of early colonial development. The buildings are significant for their connection with the important navigational function of the Lighthouses, a function still being performed to this day. The buildings are also significant as an example of structures designed and works carried out by the Public Works Department in Victoria in the mid-to-late 19th century. The structures still stand strong. Photograph; Warrnambool Lighthouse Keeper's cottage, lighthouse, flagstaff and chartroom at Flagstaff Hill, and a light-coloured picket fence with gate.

The Bakelite radio represents an era when radios were a central part of home life for news, music, and entertainment. The leather-cased radio suggests an early portable radio trend, making radio more accessible to travellers and workers. The silver box radio hints at the transition to modern transistor-based designs, leading to compact AM/FM radios and cassette players.Top Right – Leather-Cased Portable Radio: PHILLIPS A compact, rectangular radio encased in brown leather with metal corner reinforcements. The front panel has a large tuning dial at the top right and a speaker grille with a fabric covering. The brand name appears in script on the front, possibly indicating a mid-20th-century transistor radio. Bottom Right – Bakelite Tabletop Radio: AWA ADIOLA This dark brown radio, possibly Bakelite, has an art deco or early mid-century design. The large tuning dial is octagonal with a transparent cover and frequency markings. The speaker grille has vertical slats, with a fabric covering beneath, which appears aged. Two knobs below the tuning dial likely control volume and tuning. These features suggest it may be from the 1930s or 1940s. Left – Silver & White Portable Radio: ASTOR WIRELESS A more modern, boxy radio, possibly from the 1960s or 1970s, with a metal and plastic casing. The front grille has horizontal vents, and the handle on the side suggests portability. A latch mechanism on the side might indicate it doubles as a cassette or reel-to-reel player. The cleaner, industrial design aligns with electronics from the mid to late 20th century. Owned by Vic WHITFIELD Top Right & Left Radios: Likely battery-operated transistor radios, used for personal listening. Bottom Right Radio: An early vacuum tube radio, requiring mains electricity and used as a home entertainment piece.radio, receiver, wireless, transmission, household item, music, sound, audio
