One of thirty eight photographs from a photo album featuring images of the Returned Sailors and Soldiers Woollen Mill in Newtown, Geelong. The images were taken between the 1960's-1970's by Norm Holroyd who worked at the mills. They were developed in his own private dark room and kept at his home for private viewing. The Returned Sailors and Soldiers Woollen Mill operated as a self-sufficient co-operative, funded and run by World War I veterans using their War Gratuity Bonds. The facility functioned as a complete raw-to-finished assembly line where raw fleece was brought on-site to be scoured, carded, dyed, spun into yarn and woven. It specialised in heavy worsted cloths, high-quality tweed, and its signature "Retsol" and "Monarch" pure-wool travelling rugs, later adapting its machinery to blend natural wool with artificial fibres as mid-century market demands shifted.Black and white photograph attached to cardboard backing with sticky tape.

This photograph shows the early days of motorised transport in the Orbost district. This truck is in front of a shop belonging to L Herbert & Co. and is most likely at either Norrinbee (est. 1905) or Cann River. Lancelot Herbert came to Orbost in 1886 in the early days of establishment of the township and went into business with shops which he called SNOWY RIVER STORES. He and his family developed various business in the district over the following century.This photograph is significant because it shows the style of early motorised transport in East Gippsland. Also, in the background is a store owned by L Herbert & Son, SNOWY RIVER STORES.A sepia coloured photograph showing a truck with a load of wool bales on its tray, with two men and a young child standing near the front of the truck.

In the early nineteenth century larger Australian wool producers sent all their wool by sailing ship to London, where colonial auctions were held in November, January, February and March. Wool bales were carried from the farm on drays or wagons pulled by bullocks, horses or camels to port warehouses. In these times, wool transport could take anything from a week to six months. Ships, such as the Lightning, were then loaded and raced each other to get to London ahead of their rivals. The wooden ship 'Lightning' was destroyed by fire while loading wool at Geelong 31 Oct. 1869. Scuttled in Corio Bay and the remains later blown up. Reputed to be one of the fastest sailing ships. Famous in the Australian passenger trade.Model of a clipper ship with hull painted brown and black.

The P.S Australien was built in 1897 by Richard Wilson, of Moama. In 1937 the vessel was used to tow boilers, winches and derricks to the banks of the Murray River to aide in the construction of Locks 6,7,9 and Yarrawonga Weir. The barge is viewed from the rear, as the rudder can be seen, and shows the enormity of the loads of wool which a barge could carry. The two vessels are tied together and appear to be moored at a small pier.The P.S Australien is one of the oldest paddle steamers built at Echuca. It was a working vessel during the construction of the Yarrawonga weir in the 1930s which was the beginning of the irrigation system which enabled the Agriculture Industry to become such a prominent part of the Murray-Darling River Basin social history. A paddle steamer and a barge, loaded with wool, are seen docked together on a river. There is a small wooden jetty leading to the bank where gum trees are growing.p.s australien, yarrawonga weir, echuca paddlesteamers, murray river paddle steamers, wilson, richard, wool industry

The early pioneers of Emerald often led bullock teams, usually consisting of eight bullocks. These teams were used to haul logs, as well as plough and clear land for agriculture. However, this team may have been hauling wool; Wal Legg - who had a herd of sheep himself - was noted in one December 1927 article as "the teamster who cracked the whip over the bullock as Macclesfield's first waggon load of wool moved off to market." The article notes that this moment was captured in a "picture destined to become historic," - while it is impossible to tell with any certainty, it is possible that this is a copy of that picture. Regardless, it likely comes from a similar time period - the late 1920s or early 1930s.This picture represents historical modes of transportation in the region; it is also possible it captures a specific historic moment in the local wool industry.This item is a black and white printed photograph on glossy photo paper. It has no margin. Most of the shot is filled by vegetation, but it centres on several bullocks; the bullocks are attached with a wooden bar through their horns, and held by a rope in the hands of a man to the right. The man is holding a whip and wearing a hat, pants, and collared shirt. The reverse has a brief handwritten annotation in blue pen, an accession number in pencil, printed technical information, and Kodak logos.Pen: "Wal Legg" Printed Technical Information:"macclesfield, wool
