Slide, Robin Boyd, 1950
Penleigh Boyd, Robin and Patricia Boyd's son, writes “Prior to 1950 Robin, like most other amateur or hobby photographers, took black and white printed photographs. The oldest slides date from 1950 when Robin and Patricia travelled to Europe on Robin’s Robert Haddon Travelling Scholarship.” In 1948 Robin Boyd was awarded ‘joint first place’ in the Robert Haddon competition for his design of Mildura art gallery. The scholarship helped fund their first overseas trip. Robin and Patricia were passengers on the Greek ship “Cyrenia” departing in May 1950, passing through the Suez Canal and landing in Genoa five weeks later. For six months, they travelled extensively throughout Europe (predominantly driving themselves) - France, Italy, United Kingdom, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Spain.Colour slide in a mount.

Newspaper - Newspaper clipping, The Loch Ard : An Epic Wreck : Death of Eva Carmichael, ca. April 1934
“On the 8th April 1934, at her residence in Bedford, England, Eveline Victoria Townshend, widow of the late Thomas Achilles Townshend, C.E. of County Cork, Ireland, died in her 74th year. Mrs Townshend was the Eva Carmichael who, with the late Tom Pearce, were the only two survivors of the ship Loch Ard, which was wrecked near Port Campbell, on 1st June, 1878 ....”. [Transcription of the article is attached]. Captain Gibbs was master of the Loch Ard, an iron clipper of 1623 tons, which was wrecked on Mutton Bird Island, one mile east of Sherbrook River. The two survivors, Carmichael, a passenger and Pearce, a member of the crew, were washed through the mouth of the gorge, which now bears the name of the ill-fated ship. The impact of the ship was so violent that the deck was torn clean off the hull, which now lies in 70 fathoms of water. (edited version of the same article)The newspaper article is of local, state and national historical significance for its association with the wreck of the sailing ship LOCH ARD, which is now listed on the Victorian Heritage Register S417. The article records an eye witness account of the rescue of the only two survivors from the Loch Ard wreck. A newspaper cutting from the Warrnambool Standard in 1934. It contains the obituary notice of Eva Carmichael (Townshend), the only female survivor of the LOCH ARD shipwreck in 1878. She died on 8 April 1934, a widow in England, in her 74th year. This original newspaper cutting has yellowed and creased with age.

Domestic object - Greta HOGART Collection - 3181 Harper Food Mincer
The Harper 3181 Food Mincer was manufactured in England and designed for domestic kitchens in the mid-20th century. These devices allowed users to manually mince meats, vegetables, and other foods before the widespread use of electric appliances. Harper was a well-known British manufacturer of kitchen tools, and their tinned food mincers were valued for their durability and effectiveness. The mincer represents an era of hands-on food preparation and is an example of practical kitchen technology from the time.This item is a vintage Harper Food Mincer, Model No. 3181, housed in its original red and black branded cardboard box. The food mincer itself is made of heavy-duty metal with a polished finish. It features a wide hopper at the top for feeding meat or vegetables, a robust handle for manual turning, and a clamp mechanism for securing it to a countertop or table. The box displays the Harper logo and an illustration of the mincer, advertising its use for home food preparation.Box: Printed with “Harper Food Mincer No. 3181,” “Made in England,” and “Fully Tinned.” Mincer: Stamped with “3181 HARPER” on the body, and likely additional markings on handle or clamp sections (not fully visible in photo).household item, food, mincer, kitchen -
