Jock Ryan, then president of Nillumbik Historical Society discusses the names Nillumbik and Diamond Creek. In the late 1830s white occupation began with gold found in Warrandyte in 1851 and 12 years later at Diamond Creek -the Diamond Reef which led to the Caledonian gold rush. Jock Ryan discusses the Diamond Creek mine, which was thriving until it burnt out in 1915. Large numbers of workmen moved into area in late 1870s to construct the Maroondah Aqueduct. With growing population of Melbourne, the nearby Yan Yean system had severely disrupted the flow of the Plenty River, forcing the closure of three flour mills there. The aqueduct came to the rescue carrying water 66km from Healesville to Preston. When the Diamond Creek gold mine burnt down the local economy suffered but fruit growing industry had already been established and Diamond Creek became a thriving fruit growing centre. Interview with Jack Powell, a long-time fruiterer at St Andrews market, his family had lived in the area for a hundred years, 3 to 4 generations, “a lot of hard work”. By the time the railway arrived fruit growing was no longer competitive. The railway brought the city closer and day trippers. The Green Wedge separates the shire from the more densely developed neighbours such as Whittlesea, Doncaster, Templestowe, Bulleen and Greensborough. Population at the time (1996) was 19,000 but links to the past remain strong.

Jacana Primary School was established in 1959 during a period of rapid suburban expansion in Melbourne’s northern corridor. Located in the suburb of Jacana, the school was part of a broader post-war effort to provide accessible public education to growing communities shaped by migration, industrial development, and housing initiatives. Throughout its operation, Jacana Primary reflected the evolving social fabric of the area. By the 1990s, the school had become a microcosm of Melbourne’s increasing cultural diversity, welcoming students from a wide range of ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds. This diversity was not only embraced but actively celebrated through inclusive teaching practices, multicultural events, and student leadership programs such as the junior student council. The 1997 photograph captures a moment in this dynamic environment, showcasing both staff and students engaged in a shared educational mission. It represents a time when schools were not only places of learning but also key sites of community building, civic engagement, and social support.
