Penleigh Boyd, Robin and Patricia Boyd's son, writes “Prior to 1950 Robin, like most other amateur or hobby photographers, took black and white printed photographs. The oldest slides date from 1950 when Robin and Patricia travelled to Europe on Robin’s Robert Haddon Travelling Scholarship.” In 1948 Robin Boyd was awarded ‘joint first place’ in the Robert Haddon competition for his design of Mildura art gallery. The scholarship helped fund their first overseas trip. Robin and Patricia were passengers on the Greek ship “Cyrenia” departing in May 1950, passing through the Suez Canal and landing in Genoa five weeks later. For six months, they travelled extensively throughout Europe (predominantly driving themselves) - France, Italy, United Kingdom, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Spain.Colour slide in a mount.

The speedway located on the Maribyrnong Reserve, Maribyrnong was built in 1946, on what had been an undeveloped football ground. The first public race held at the raceway was in October 1946, in front of approximately 7,000 spectators, and quickly became a major venue for solo motorcycles, sidecars, and midget speedcars. Soon after opening, the track was taken over by the Kirjon Speedway Company, and was renamed the Kirjon Speedway. Fred Tracey, a well known solo motorcycle racer and winner of the 1947 Victorian Solo Championship, took over the venue around 1951, renaming it Tracey’s Speedway. Tracey’s Speedway closed in 1963, ending nearly two decades of racing. This sculpture of Fred Tracey, in honour of his contribution to speedway racing, is located in the Highpoint City Shopping Centre, Rosamond Road, Maribyrnong. Maribyrnong was originally part of the former Shire of Braybrook and later the City of Sunshine. However, in 1994, Victoria underwent council amalgamations, which resulted in Braybrook being incorporated into the City of Maribyrnong. The suburb of Maribyrnong continues to attract considerable attention from the residents of City of Brimbank, particularly its historical features, the old buildings and distinctive streetscapes that characterise the area.Tracey’s Speedway in Maribyrnong was one of Melbourne’s most famous post‑war dirt tracks, opening in 1946 and operating under several names before becoming “Tracey’s Speedway” in the early 1950s under promoter and racer Fred Tracey. It drew huge crowds, hosted national championships, and became a cultural landmark until its closure in 1963.5207 - Highpoint City - Fred Tracey Sculpture 2025.JPGhighpoint city, fred tracey, kirjon speedway, maribyrnong reserve, maribyrnong

Red Nose Day traces back to Victoria in 1977, when Kaarene Fitzgerald founded the state’s Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) organisation after the sudden death of her baby son, Glenn. This Victorian foundation became one of several state‑based groups formed by bereaved parents seeking answers, support, and research funding. The first national Red Nose Day was held in 1988. These photographs, taken by The Advocate in 1992, show Rosamond Kindergarten participating in the national Red Nose Day campaign.Highpoint Kindergarten Red Noses Rosamond Road 443highpoint kindergarten, rosamond road, maidstone, maribyrnong

Alfrieda Street is the civic and commercial heart of St Albans, shaped by its unique 19th‑century street pattern, its role as the suburb’s main shopping strip, and its function as the key connector between the station, schools, and community facilities. These photographs, taken by The Advocate in 1990, were published in response to a campaign by St Albans traders who were concerned about growing traffic congestion in the centre of St Albans and the resulting loss of business to competing shopping centres such as Deer Park, Keilor Downs, and even Highpoint City.Alfrieda Street is widely recognised as one of Melbourne’s major Vietnamese precincts. Typical businesses include: Vietnamese restaurants (pho, bún bò Huế, cơm tấm, bún thịt nướng), Bakeries (bánh mì, pâtisserie‑style sweets), Bubble tea shops, Asian grocers specialising in Vietnamese ingredients, Butchers and seafood shops catering to Vietnamese cooking, Hair and beauty salons, and Vietnamese cafés and dessert shopsShop Owners St. Albans Alfrieda St 473.3alfrieda street, st. albans

Pipemakers Park is an 8‑hectare urban park on the Maribyrnong River, near Highpoint, established in 1987 on the site of the former Hume Pipes Company manufacturing complex. The site has a long history of industrial use including, Raleigh’s Boiling‑Down Works (1848–1853), Melbourne Meat Preserving Company (1868–1886), Australian Frozen Meat Export Company (1880–1882) and Hume Pipe Company (1912–1978). The Melbourne & Metropolitan Board of Works purchased the site in 1978 for conversion to parkland and the Pipemakers Park officially opened in 1987–1988. One bluestone building was refurbished and leased to Melbourne’s Living Museum of the West. The park is now managed by the City of Maribyrnong (since 2014)Pipemakers Park is significant because it is one of the most complete surviving industrial heritage landscapes in Melbourne, a place where 130 years of Australian manufacturing, export innovation, and working‑class history are still physically visible in one location. Its importance comes from industrial, archaeological, cultural, ecological, and community values.Joe, Vince & Marion Fagone - Pipe Makers Park pipemakers park, maribyrnong

Main Road East, formerly Boundary Road, served as the municipal boundary between the City of Sunshine and the City of Keilor. The south side of the roadway fell within the City of Sunshine, while the north side belonged to the City of Keilor. Following the statewide restructuring of local government in 1994, both sides of Main Road East were brought under a single municipality, the newly formed City of Brimbank. These photographs, taken by The Advocate in 1990, were published in response to a campaign by St Albans traders who were concerned about growing traffic congestion in the centre of St Albans and the resulting loss of business to competing shopping centres such as Deer Park, Keilor Downs, and even Highpoint City.Although Main Road East was administratively divided between two councils, the community on both sides of the road functioned as a single, integrated community. Major institution, including Errington Reserve, the principal St Albans sports ground, St Albans High School, and St Albans Statio, were all located on the south side within the City of Sunshine, yet they served residents from both councils. The northern side developed into the suburb’s main shopping strip, with grocery shops, banks, medical practices and several churches forming its civic and commercial focus.Shop Owners St. Albans Alfrieda St 473.3main road east, st. albans
