Churchill Island Heritage Farm
Machine - Scoop
This type of scoop had many names. It was also known as a horse drawn steel drag pan, dirt scraper, scoop, tumble bug plough, or Buck scraper. A horse was hitched to the front, and the farmer would walk behind, lifting the handles so that the scoop lip dug in and the soil and rocks collect in the scoop. When full, the farmer let go of the handles and the lip would rise out of the ground. The horse would then pull the scoop to where the dirt would be emptied. Once at the dumpsite, the farmer pulled on the handle just enough for the lip to catch on the surface and as the horse continues forward, this would cause the scoop to flip over and dump the contents.Rusted metal scoop, with a bucket hinged onto a metal arm.scoop, churchill island, farm machinery, horse drawn -

Another figurative painting by Tony Woods, titled "In the Studio Psychologically Challenged", also hangs in Walsh Street.Man with closed eyes, with various arm positions, on a red sofa.The reverse is inscribed with Australian Galleries and the title and Woods '67.tony woods, australian galleries, purves, robin boyd, walsh st artwork, ohm2022, ohm2022_19 -

Falls Creek Historical Society
Functional object - Sunglasses from Lillehammer
These were the official Australian team's sunglasses issued to competitors at the Winter Olympic Games at Lillehammer, Norway in 1994. The glasses belonged to Paul and Adrian Costa however they could not wear them because the Costa brothers were sponsored by Oakley at that time. The four Costa brothers - Paul, Adrian, Simon and Tom - all skied for Australia in mogul and freestyle competitions. They attended school at Falls Creek and Mt Beauty and were members of the Falls Creek Race Club. Paul’s first major event at the age of 16 was the Falls Creek Summit Masters, where he finished second in the Open Class. In 1993 he placed fourth at the FIS Freestyle World Championships in Austria. He was selected to represent Australia at the Lillehammer Winter Olympic Games in 1994. After these Games, Paul ended his competitive career and took up coaching junior teams and was a member of the coaching staff for the 2006 Torino Olympics. Adrian is a four-time Olympian, who competed in freestyle skiing at the 1992 Albertville, 1994 Lillehammer, 1998 Nagano and 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic Winter Games. He contested the moguls event at all four Games and his best performance was 14th, making the finals at both the Albertville and Lillehammer Games. At Salt Lake City, Adrian had the honour to carry the Australian Flag in the Opening Ceremony. He competed at the World Championships from 1993 until 2001 and recorded his best place of 9th at the 1993 World Championships. His best World Cup performance was a silver medal in 1998. In total, Adrian Costa made 126 World Cup starts between 1991 and 2003, placing 31 times in the top 10 and seven times in the top five. He also competed in five Freestyle Skiing World Championships.These sunglasses are significant because they belonged to two Winter Olympians from Falls Creek.Ray Ban brand sunglasses decorated with the official Olympic symbols for the Lillehammer Winter Olympics 1994.
