This iron was used by women to press the clothes from the mid 19th century. Coal embers were put inside, heating the base of the iron. Small bellows could be used to fire up the embers in order to keep the iron hot.This item is significant as it represents the appliances used by women from the mid 19th century until the advent of electricity.Brass iron with hinged lid, curved funnel and wooden handle with asbestos standdomestic object, iron, laundry, appliance

This document presents the findings of a hazardous material survey conducted at the Fortuna Facility in Bendigo in August 1996. The Survey Objective was to Assess the presence, location, type, and condition of hazardous materials—specifically asbestos-containing materials, synthetic mineral fibre products, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)—and provide recommendations to minimize health and safety risks. Buildings 8, 10, 16, 16A, 16B, and 18, including associated structures, were examined. Asbestos-Containing Materials: Located in cement sheet, moulded cement vents, vinyl floor tiles, fibrous board, and electrical switchboards. Generally present a negligible or low exposure risk if left undisturbed. Removal is only recommended if maintenance, refurbishment, or demolition will disturb these materials. Fibrous asbestos board in the south ceiling space of Building 16 should be removed as soon as practicable.S ynthetic Mineral Fibre Products: Found in pipe, duct, and ceiling insulation. Pose negligible exposure risk under normal occupancy. Any work involving these fibres should comply with the National Standard and Code of Practice for Safe Use of Synthetic Mineral Fibre (1990). Older fluorescent light fittings and electrical transformers may contain PCBs. PCBs are hazardous due to their chemical properties and potential health risks. Recommendations Asbestos: Remove only if disturbance is likely, except for the specific board in Building 16, which should be removed promptly. Follow national safety standards during any work that may disturb these materials. PCBs: Be aware of potential presence in older electrical equipment and manage accordingly. The survey was conducted in accordance with Victorian Occupational Health and Safety (Asbestos) Regulations 1992. The document also includes appendices with general information and analytical results related to asbestos and synthetic mineral fibres.Hazardous Material Survey Fortuna Facility Bendigo, work performed for Carson Group Pty Ltd by Kilpatrick and Associates Pty Ltd, Occupational Hygeine and Ergonomics Consultants, 239 Bay Street, Brighton, 3186 This Document Contains the following Items: 11231.3b This document presents the findings of a hazardous material survey conducted at the Fortuna Facility in Bendigo in August 1996.

This style of mask was developed in Britain and began to appear from the 1930s, though original models may have been produced in the 1920s. Various patents for this style of mask were still being filed in the 1960s, so they were used for a considerable period of time. It is possible that the original filter pads for these masks contained asbestos, as they supposedly utilised 'fire proof' materials. Asbestos was already in use in other British respirator masks at this time. Original cataloguing information believed this item to be an eye shield, but further research has indicated that this is not the case.Mask consists of a metal plate designed to cover the lower half of the face. There is a recess along the top edge of the plate designed for the nose to sit in. There is a large oblong opening with rounded corners at the centre of the mask, which is a mouth opening to assist speech and is the main air intake. There are five round holes on either side of the mask, likely included to decrease the mask's breathing resistance for the wearer. Rounded slots at each edge of the mask are threaded through with an elastic strap, used for attaching the mask to the face. This mask would have been used with a filtering pad attached, but the pad is missing.

Ernest, Alfred, and Otto Wunderlich founded the Wunderlich company in Sydney in 1885. The company expanded into Melbourne with a showroom located in Queen Street, Melbourne. The North Sunshine factory on McIntyre Road opened in 1927 producing glazed terracotta tiles, faience cladding, and later asbestos‑based products including Durabestos sheets and pipes. In 1969, CSR purchased Wunderlich. In 1977 CSR sold the Sunshine site to James Hardie. The factory closed down in 1983. The site was then redeveloped into the Westend Market Hotel and Dan Murphy’s. In the mid‑2010s, a cluster of mesothelioma cases among North Sunshine residents was linked to historical asbestos exposure from the factory.The Sunshine Wunderlich factory was one of Melbourne’s major interwar industrial employers. It contributed to Sunshine’s identity as a manufacturing hub alongside the H.V. McKay / Massey Ferguson Sunshine Harvester Works. This small book records only a very small number of employees who worked at the factory. The list was put together by former Wunderlich employee Walter "Wally" O'Brien.Front - T/Cotta Wunderlich Staff 1st Page Don Forte, Silvio, Tich Johnon, Sebastian Granata, Fred Willaton, Jack Lewis, George Griggs (Greigs), Ben George Simon, Whisky (Not Wally), Priot Albert Willaton (Son of Fred), Albert Elllingson (Killed on train disaster is his Grand Father)wunderlich, mcintyre road, sunshine north

The Harris blue electric trains were introduced in c1955 and followed the 'Red Rattlers'. They had a long life and were named after Norman Charles Harris, Chairman of Commissioners of the Victorian Railways, between 1940 and 1950. The first 30 7-carriage trains, known as the first series, were constructed in the United Kingdom by Gloucester Railway Carriage and Wagon Company, and delivered between 1956 and 1959. Another 30, the second series, were built by Martin & King in Melbourne, and delivered between 1961 and 1967. The trains had either two or three sets of hand-operated dual sliding doors per carriage side. Later they were fitted with power doors. Initially, until late 1978, the interiors were split into smoking and no-smoking compartments. In 1978 smoking on trains was abolished. Carriages were also designated as First or Second class until 1958, when one class travel was introduced. they had florescent lights but no heating. Most of the early carriages did not have end doors and gangways between carriages, but safety concerns led these being incorporated in the sets delivered from mid-1966. With the exceptions of the last few carriages built, all Harris trains contained asbestos insulation. The first sets contained blue asbestos, and the later sets contained white asbestos in the linings for insulation of noise and temperature. Due to the presence of asbestos, they began to be withdrawn from the mid-1980s and most were disposed of in the 1990s, by being buried at Talbot Quarry in Clayton, some having been wrapped in plastic. No original Harris trailer cars remain. A coloured photograph of a blue Harris electric train heading towards Surrey Hills station from Mont Albert station.
