Allan Doney Collection, Bendigo Historical Society Inc.Negative - Vacant Block - Housing, Allan Doney, 1950 -1970
... Vacant Block - Housing...Although he travelled to many other places in Northern Victoria and beyond in search of subjects for his art, he seemed to always return to Bendigo for inspiration. Negative Vacant Block - Housing Allan Doney ...In the years of Allan Doney’s photography, landmark buildings succumbed to fire, neglect and redevelopment. He photographed the grey sand hills from Bendigo’s mining past, the streetscapes, poppet heads, miners’ cottages, gracious homes with ornate verandahs, trams and much more. Above all, his photographs show how much of the city has survived from the 19th century – and how much has not. Through two decades of great change, Allan Doney was there to capture ways people interacted with it. Although he travelled to many other places in Northern Victoria and beyond in search of subjects for his art, he seemed to always return to Bendigo for inspiration. -

Lakes Entrance Victoria Photograph Maranui House, Lakes Entrance c1920 Valentine Series ...Maranui History as told by Rod Hooper SC Charley and Stella Hooper were married in Melbourne in 1944 and honeymooned at Broomes. Then in 1946 they purchased it from Broome’s. A large recreation room was added at the rear in 1957. A big renovation was undertaken in 1961-62 with the front completely remodelled. When the restaurant was built at the rear they were granted a liquor license in 1966 after objections by Crea’s at Glenara and the Central Hotel. Charley, who did most of the cooking for guests, added Lakes Entrance flathead tails to the menu which was an immediate hit. Today they are a staple menu option for most Lakes Entrance eating establishments. Around 1968 Hoopers purchased the police station and land at the rear where they relocated a old house that was used for staff accommodation. Charley’s intention was to build a motel and connect it to Maranui but ill health saw his plans fail to come to fruition. He died in 1970. Stella, along with children Bev, Glen and Rod continued to run Maranui till they sold to the Savage family in 1976.
