Archir Harker was married to Ruby Wilson and mentioned in the "Wielands of Heathmont "book. From Greg Coker: In August 2023, RDHS asked Greg Coker to scan a set of negatives. He was able to work out, through various notes, that the pictures were taken by J A Harker of 9 Grange St, Mont Albert in the mid 50s to the mid 60s. Most of the film was 9cm X 6cm B&W negatives. All pictures have been cropped and where appropriate, put through a light filter. They have been scanned at 1600ppi resulting in ~3meg B&W shots (~5meg for the half dozen colour shots). The Harkers certainly liked their hiking – they were ahead of their time. Images scanned from R&K Developing and Printing Services packet of negatives, undated. After scanning in 2023 by Greg Coker, the negatives were disposed and just the packet retained. Some photos may be duplicated in other VC Harker/Weiland family records if the original prints were donated. Greg's comments: Early 60s – Original Negatives. Sea side holiday and valley views The date is best guess. Mrs Harker looks around the same age as the 1958 set. There is a prominent lighthouse in shot – that may help identify where the holiday was. I suspect the valley may be near it. Reverse of packet includes Printing and Developing Price List

A volume of 114 pages including 4 pages of coloured plates, maps and Illustrations by Katrina Sandiford. It was aimed at secondary students studying the geography of Alpine regions.non-fictionThe Mountain Pygmy possum or Burramys was known only from fossils until 1966, when the first living specimen was found hiding among fire wood at the University Ski Lodge on Mt Higginbotham, Victoria. The story of this species is a case study in conservation and ecology. Coming back from extinction, this tiny species is the only mammal restricted to the Australian Alps. It is found in Kosciusko National Park (NSW), and between Mt Bogong, Mt Higginbotham and at Mt Buller in Victoria. After years of patient research, the authors describe in this book everything that is known about the Burramys, from its physiology, mating habits and behaviour to how we can best manage and protect its habitat from human activities in the ski fields.environment victoria, australian endangered species, mountain pygmy possum
