This glass slide captures the crowd at the unveiling of the two cannons at Queen Victoria Park which were secured by Sir Isaac Isaacs and presented to Beechworth in 1901. In the forefront of the slide, elegantly dress ladies, some pushing strollers or holding onto children, and dapper gentlemen can be seen gathering around and on top of the park’s iconic rock. The unveiling of these two cannons would have been a celebratory affair for those in attendance, marking a momentous occasion for Beechworth residents which was captured in this lantern slide. The two cannons were secured by Sir Isaac Isaacs who was an influential figure in Beechworth. Sir Isaac Isaacs was born and raised in Beechworth, beginning his education at the Common school and eventually graduated as dux of the Beechworth Grammar School. His commitment to public service was evident early on and he was elected to the Legislative Assembly in 1892, representing Bogong, a district which included Yackandandah and Beechworth. During his time in office, Sir Isaac Isaacs pushed for better education, healthcare, employment opportunities and housing for the people of Beechworth.

non-fictionBeenak Road, Wandin Hall, the Stringybark Creek, Clements' shop, Wandin Yallock State School... all names that spark vivid memories for anyone who has lived in or around Wandin in Victoria's Yarra Valley. Jill Sebire invited a wide cross-section of 'locals' to share their memories of community and family life. The result is a rich and entertaining group of personal stories. This is not a formal history, though it covers many of the milestones of the community's growth since European settlement in the 1860s. Instead, it highlights the events, people and places that have stayed fresh in the writers' minds. 'As I Remember ..' ensures that these memories can be enjoyed into the future. Anyone who has lived in a small community will recognise many of the characters and activities. For those who have a connection with the Wandin district. 'As I Remember...' will bring back the sights and sounds of Saturday night dances, the annual trip to the beach, the Easter sports at the Wandin Recreation Ground, fruit-picking, football and cricket matches, and perhaps even the night the Rechabite Hall burnt down.(back cover)wandin (vic.), wandin yallock state school
