Book, A Hole in My Genes
This book, written by Dr Jodie Fleming, is a memoir of her experiences with breast cancer. Dr Fleming, a clinical and health psychologist, lived for some time in Warrnambool and underwent some of her medical treatment in that city. The book gives readers an insight into the physical and mental state of a breast cancer sufferer and offers guidance, inspiration and support to others in the same situation. This book is of some interest as it is written by a one-time resident of Warrnambool and details her experiences as a breast cancer survivor. This is a soft cover book of 240 pages. The cover has a white background with printing and colour photographs on the front and back covers and printing on the spine. The book has a preface, an introduction and 47 chapters of text. warrnambool, dr jodie fleming -

Domestic object - Soap holder, early 20th century
This wire soap holder is purpose-made by hand for holding a bar of soap in a way that allows the soap to air dry. It may have been used in the laundry, bathroom or kitchen, areas used for washing hands or bodies. Wet bars of soap could become very soft and difficult to use. The maker used short lengths of wire to create this soap holder, showing thriftiness and inventiveness.Although the soap holder is currently not associated with a historical event, person or place at this time it is being used to augment Flagstaff's village display as it is typical of items used in the 19th and early 20th centuries.Soap holder; basket shaped frame, handmade from twisted wire strands.flagstaff hill, warrnambool, shipwrecked coast, flagstaff hill maritime museum, maritime museum, shipwreck coast, flagstaff hill maritime village, great ocean road, soap h older, wire soap holder, cleaning, laundry, washing, sanitation -
