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.To capture the essence of Maribyrnong in 2022, a series of photographs were taken. These images document a range of buildings, street scenes, and other notable points of interest throughout the suburb, providing a visual record of its unique character.5601.01 - Anglers Tavern - Repairs After Flood 2022 Photo 01.JPG 5601.02 - Anglers Tavern - Repairs After Flood 2022 Photo 02.JPG 5601.03 - Anglers Tavern - Repairs After Flood 2022 Photo 03.JPG 5601.04 - Highpoint City Quarry West Face 2022 Photo 01.JPG 5601.05 - Jack's Magazine Maribyrnong 2022 Photo 01.JPG 5601.06 - Jack's Magazine Maribyrnong 2022 Photo 03.JPG 5601.07 - Jack's Magazine Maribyrnong 2022 Photo 04.JPG 5601.08 - Maribyrnong Explosive Factory 2022 Photo 01.JPG 5601.09 - Maribyrnong Explosive Factory 2022 Photo 02.JPG 5601.10 - Maribyrnong Explosive Factory 2022 Photo 03.JPG 5601.11 - Maribyrnong Explosive Factory 2022 Photo 04.JPG 5601.12 - Maribyrnong Explosive Factory 2022 Photo 06.JPG 5601.13 - Maribyrnong Explosive Factory 2022 Photo 09.JPG 5601.14 - Maribyrnong Explosive Factory 2022 Photo 10.JPG 5601.15 - Maribyrnong Explosive Factory 2022 Photo 17.JPG 5601.16 - Maribyrnong Permacite & Clay Potteries Wharf 2022 Photo 01.JPG 5601.17 - Maribyrnong Reserve Grandstand 2022 Photo 01.JPG 5601.18 - Maribyrnong Reserve Grandstand 2022 Photo 03.JPG 5601.19 - Raleigh Rd 42 - 45 - Shops 2022 Photo 01.JPG 5601.20 - Raleigh Rd 83 - Former Maribyrnong Police Station 2022 Photo 01.JPG 5601.21 - Raleigh Rd 85 - Former Shop & Post Office Site 2022 Photo 01.JPG 5601.22 - Raleigh Rd 85 - Former Shop & Post Office Site 2022 Photo 02.JPG raleigh road, maribyrnong, anglers tavern, jacks magazine, maribyrnong explosive factory, maribyrnong permacite and clay potteries wharf, maribyrnong reserve grandstand, maribyrnong police station

After nearly 20 years of negotiations between the City of Sunshine, the City of Essendon and various other authorities, this cable stayed bridge open in 1991.

These shell cases were donated along with other items from the St Nicholas' Mission to Seamen's Church at 139 Nelson Place, Williamstown, Victoria. The Church was operated by the Mission to Seamen organisation. The symbol of the broad arrow on the base of the shell case signifies that it was owned by the Australian Army. The dates of the shell cases - 1940 and 1941 - link the shell cases with World War II. Both cases' headstamps have "N", which could indicate that they were made for use by the Navy. Shell Case 1298.01: The headstamp code on the label "MEC" means that it was made by the Explosives Factory Maribyrnong - Cordite Annexe, Maribyrnong, Melbourne, which made cordite propellant for cartridges and shells. Shell Case 1298.02: The headstamp "MF" indicates it was made by the Small Arms Manufacturing Factory in Footscray, Melbourne, and the stamped year was 1941. THE MISSIONS TO SEAMEN (Brief History): - The Missions to Seamen was an Anglican charity that has served seafarers of the world since 1856 in Great Britain. Its symbol is a Flying Angel, inspired by a Bible verse. Today, there are centres in over 200 ports worldwide where seamen of all backgrounds are offered a warm welcome and provided with a wide range of facilities. In Victoria, the organisation began in Williamstown in 1857 as a Sailors’ Church, also known as ‘Bethel’ or the ‘Floating Church’ in an old hulk floating in Hobson’s Bay, Port of Melbourne. It soon became part of the Missions to Seamen, Victoria. In the year 2000, the organisation, now named Mission to Seafarers, still operated locally in Melbourne, Portland, Geelong and Hastings. The Ladies’ Harbour Lights Guild was formed in 1906 to support the Missions to Seamen in Melbourne and other centres, such as Williamstown. Two of the most significant ladies of the Guild were founder Ethel Augusta Godfrey and foundation member Alice Sibthorpe Tracy (who established a branch of the Guild in Warrnambool in 1920). The Guild continued its work until the 1960s. In 1943, a former Williamstown bank was purchased for the Missions to Seaman Club. The chapel was named St Nicholas’ Seamen’s Church and was supported by the Ladies’ Harbour Lights Guild, the Williamstown Lightkeepers’ Auxiliary and the League of Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Friends. It ceased operation in 1966. A Missions to Seamen Chapel and Recreation Room was a significant feature of ports during the late 1800s and into the 1900s. It seemed appropriate for Flagstaff Hill to include such a representation within the new Maritime Village, so the Melbourne Board of Management of Missions to Seamen Victoria gave its permission on 21st May 1979 for the entire furnishings of the Williamstown chapel to be transferred to Flagstaff Hill. The St Nicholas Seamen’s Church was officially opened on October 11, 1981, and closely resembles the Williamstown chapel. These shell cases are significant for their relationship with the Australian Army in general and in particular with the defence of Australia during World War II. The may have also been made for the Navy. Their significance is increased by their association with the Williamstown Missions To Seamen, which donated them to Flagstaff Hill in 1979, an organisation that has supported seafarers for many years.Shell case: two brass 4" rimmed shell cases with headstamps (inscriptions) on the base plate around the firing pin three holes evenly spaced around the centre of the base. A label is attached to one shell. The shell cases are part of the St. Nicholas Seamen's Church Collection. Shell Case 1298.01 - Printed stamp “P.2BT” “M.E.C.111” “I.E. 10/43”.

The Phillip Migrant Hostel was one of the three major post‑war migrant accommodation centers on the former Explosives Factory land at Maribyrnong/Maidstone. It formed the western section of the broader hostel complex and opened in 1971. The striking feature of the hostel was circular arrangement of the buildings. The Phillip Hostel closed in 1986–87, along with the Midway Hostel.5369 - Phillip Hostel Williamson Road Entrance 1971 Photograph.jpg Philip State Office Collections Office Phillip Officemigrant hostel, williamson road, maribyrnong, phillip hostel
