Newspaper articles about the Christmas Party held at Government House in 1960. One is from The Age on 12 December 1960 and two from The Herald on the same day. Melbourne Legacy would hold Christmas parties for junior Legatees at Government House for many years due to the Governor of Victoria being patron of Legacy. Two photos show the Governor Sir Dallas Brooks the reins of a miniature mail coach drawn by two small ponies. Sitting with the Governor is 10 year old Sandra Fitzpatrick of Moe. Children would come from all over Victoria. Two other photos show archery with the Kew City Bowman providing instruction of archery to the children. Judith Berry was instructing Ken Barberis 8 years old. Also a photo is of Mickey Hodder, 11, of Lower Templestowe and Ivy Murray, 5, of Box Hill. The articles were cut from the newspaper and pasted into a scrap book of press clippings. For many years Legacy kept scrap books of press clippings that related to their work and publicity.A record of relationship of Legacy with the Governor of Victoria and the parties that Legacy provided for the children in their care.Newspaper article of the Government House Christmas Party in 1960 pasted to brown page of a scrap book.junior legatees, junior legatee outing, christmas, government house party

16mm colour film with no sound - the second B&W workprint not digitised. 13 min 24 sec. Begins with the flag raising ceremony at Somers Camp and then moves to Westernport Airfield where the boys are seen going for flights in Cessnas whilst others learn archery and play volleyball. Moves on to beach activities and dinghy sailing supervised by Legatees. Back at Somers there is a comic performance of Goldilocks in front of a large audience of younger Junior Legatees and the supervising Legatees, which ends with a bearded Goldilocks being taken away in a police car. A service in the bush chapel is then shown before we see the older boys throwing one of their number off a jetty. A volleyball game completes the film. There is no indication of date, but the clothes seem to be 1960s/70s. This film has been digitised to preserve its content. Melbourne Legacy gratefully acknowledges the support of the Victorian Government and Public Record Office Victoria for making this possible.Depicts the work done by Legacy volunteers in helping Legacy families of the time.

Teenager’s Meccano model in The Age window Whilst Barry’s model is interesting, and he himself is more than interesting – renowned for his lifelong harmonica playing, vaudeville and stand-up comedy as “Mr Versatility” – it is the location of the photo which intrigued us. Was this the photographer’s office, and would it give us a clue to his identity? We thought he might be “Mr Duke” as some boxes of Kodak slides were so named! But we later deduced they were most likely related to the Duke’s Centenary visit to Melbourne. However, they did lead us to The Age archivist Michelle Stillman, who held the key to unlock the photographer’s identity. Louise McKenzie. Photographer notations on slide: "Model warship YiPi 14-12-34 B61" Published: 14 September 1934 The Age p15 Published title: MECCANO CRUISER Published caption: Barry Sandford (17) of Richmond, recently completed this splendid Meccano model of a modern cruiser. It is fitted with four swivelling turret guns, six quick-firers, searchlight, movable anchor rudder and propeller. This model is on view in "The Age" office window, Collins-street. Trove article identifier: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article205072014 Description: Meccano model of cruiser. Wood panelled office walls and boxes of glass slides can be seen in the background. Research by project volunteer, Louise McKenzie: The second slide we scanned, this photo of Barry Sandford’s Meccano model of a cruiser was of particular interest because it appeared to have been taken in the photographer's studio/office. For the bulk of our project, the identity of the photographer was not known, and we delighted in imagining who they were, whether they were amateur or professional, and what else might be stored in those neatly labelled boxes in the background. But the photo had its own story regardless. A photo of Barry Sandford’s meccano model appeared in the Melbourne AGE on Friday 14 December 1934; it was probably the same photo as the one in our collection – now cropped to remove the background office environment. This background shows shelves of Kodak Panochromatic, and archived boxes labelled “DUKE” with various references: D1 – D23, and one labelled ‘DUKE Not Used’. On a shelf there is a stack of wooden glass plate holders. It wasn't until early 2023 that the photographer's identity was revealed with the help of archivist/librarian at The Age, Michelle Stillman. As for young Barry – what a talent! Meccano was hugely popular at this time. The Melbourne Meccano Club met on a Tuesday at the YMCA building. On 18 August 1933 The Age reported that at their upcoming meeting the model builders “will gain an insight into the oil industry from a lecturer and moving pictures supplied by the Vacuum Oil Co.” Models reflected an interest in rapid technological developments of the time, and also key activities. On 2 November 1934 The Age showed Barry with a model of Sir Charles Kingsford Smith’s Lockheed Altair, “Lady Southern Cross”, which Kingsford Smith purchased with the intent to compete in the MacRobertson Air Race as part of the Melbourne Centenary celebrations. He did not participate, but in late 1935 he and co-pilot John Thompson “Tommy” Pethybridge flew Lady Southern Cross from India to Singapore in an attempt to break the England-Australia speed record. Sadly, on the night of 8 November, they disappeared over the Andaman Sea and were never found. The Harmonica Riff Raff blog provides an amazing and comprehensive commentary on Barry Sandford's life. He is described as a Richmond boy of many talents – model making, archery, comedy, kite making, magic and juggling, as well as a harmonica virtuoso. He was particularly renowned for his harmonica playing and the creation of a two-foot long harmonica, and a tiny, hands-free organ which he played fully enclosed in his mouth. He promoted himself as Mr. Versatility and often featured in Melbourne news articles in the 1930s and 1940s. He remained very active in the entertainment business throughout his life, including as a member of the Four Octaves harmonica group, on the Tivoli circuit, and in vaudeville and stand up comedy. He successfully made the move from stage and radio into television. He died in 1992, still saluted by his peers as the gentleman, Mr Versatility. References: MECCANO CRUISER. (1934, December 14).

Braybrook 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 Braybrook 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 Braybrook in 2020, 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.5579.01- Ashley St Braybrook - Former 3LO - AWA Frequency Changing Building.JPG 5579.02- Ballarat Rd 353 Braybrook - Braybrook Hotel Photo 01.JPG 5579.03- Ballarat Rd 353 Braybrook - Braybrook Hotel Photo 02.JPG 5579.04- Ballarat Rd 353 Braybrook - Braybrook Hotel Photo 03.JPG 5579.05- Cranwell St Braybrook - Cranwell Park 4th March 2020 Photo 01.JPG 5579.06- Cranwell St Braybrook - Cranwell Park 4th March 2020 Photo 02.JPG 5579.07- Cranwell St Braybrook - Wimble Printer Supplers - Cranwell St 4th March 2020.JPG 5579.08 - Duke St Braybrook - Unit Devlopment 4th March 2020 Photo 01.JPG 5579.09 - Duke St Braybrook - Unit Devlopment 4th March 2020 Photo 02.JPG 5579.10 - Duke St Braybrook - Unit Devlopment 4th March 2020 Photo 03.JPG 5579.11 - Duke St Braybrook - Unit Devlopment 4th March 2020 Photo 04.JPG 5579.12 - Maribrynong River Braybrook 4th March 2020 Photo 01.JPG 5579.13 - Market Place 1 - 17 Place Braybrook.JPG 5579.14 - Salvation Army Hall 40 Myalla St Braybrook 16th Jan 2020.JPG 5579.15 - Churchill Ave Shops 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5579.16 - Churchill Ave Shops 2021 Photo 02.JPG 5579.17 - Churchill Ave Shops 2021 Photo 04.JPG 5579.18 - Cranwell Park 2021 Photo 05.JPG 5579.19 - Cranwell Park 2021 Photo 06.JPG 5579.20 - Cranwell Park 2021 Photo 02.JPG 5579.21 - Pennell Reserve 2021 Photo 03.JPG 5579.22 - Pennell Reserve 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5579.23 - Pennell Reserve 2021 Photo 07.JPG 5579.24 - Pennell Reserve 2021 Photo 08.JPG 5579.25 - Pennell Reserve 2021 Photo 09.JPG 5579.26 - Pennell Reserve 2021 Photo 13.JPG 5579.27 - Pennell Reserve 2021 Photo 05.JPG 5579.28 - Skinner Rerserve Pavilion 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5579.29 - Skinner Reserve 2021 Photo 05.JPG 5579.30 - Skinner Reserve 2021 Photo 06.JPG 5579.31 - Skinner Reserve 2021 Photo 07.JPG 5579.32 - Skinner Reserve 2021 Photo 13.JPG 5579.33 - Skinner Reserve 2021 Photo 20.JPG 5579.34 - Skinner Reserve 2021 Photo 25.JPG 5579.35 - Lance Reschstein 'Aeroplane' Playground Sign Skinner Reserve 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5579.36 - South Rd 131 - 137 Braybrook 2020.JPG 5579.37 - South Rd 103 - 125 Braybrook 2020.JPG 5579.38 - South Rd 125 - 131 Braybrook 2020.JPG 5579.39 - Myalla St 40 Braybrook - Salvation Army Hall 16th Jan 2020.JPG" ballarat road, ashley street, cranwell street, duke street, market place, braybrook, 3lo radio transmitter, braybrook hotel, cranwell park, wimble, salvation army hall, myalla street, churchill avenue, pennell reserve, braybrook football club, southern cross archery club, skinner reserve, lance reschstein 'aeroplane' playground, braybrook sporting club
