These are a batch of ten negatives apparently taken around the same time at Gembrook c. early 20th century. They include three images of a bullock team (two with a child in the picture), two images of the Ranges Hotel (one distant), two images of farm workers, one image of the main street, one image of the railway line and one of children playing backyard cricket. The negatives were developed by Baker & Rouse, agents for Kodak, who began their operations in Melbourne in 1905. At some unknown time, the negatives were donated to the Yarra Ranges Regional Museum. At this point, they may have then been placed in individual packets - because the original Baker and Rouse folder was in poor condition - and labels were written. In 2023 or 2024, the Yarra Ranges Museum donated them to the Emerald Museum.These negatives provide a glimpse into early 20th century everyday and farming life of Gembrook.Ten negatives showing people and places in Gembrook circa early 20th century.

Information provided to the Bendigo Historical Society by Rohan Moresi: Rohan 'grew up on a farm near Buckrabanyule. The bat belonged to Rohan and his brothers, Grant and Alistair. At the age of twelve in early December of 1977, my father took my brothers and myself to the Queen Elizabeth Oval in Bendigo to watch a match of the newly created World Series Cricket being played. West Indies versus World XI. OI took the one cricket bat we owned and a market pen, along with me. During the course of the match I gathered all the signatures I could from players as they left the field after batting, as they sat in the stands waiting for their turn to bat, and when they were fielding close to the boundary. I remember Clive Lloyd, who was sitting in the stands when I approached him, expressing some good natured scepticism that the signatures would remain permanently on the bat as he was signing it, due to the tyupe of marker pen used. I also recall Tony Greig not stopping to sign it as he left the field after batting. I'm sure he had other more pressing issues on his mind at the time. When we returned home my father painted a type of a lacquer over each of the signatures in an attempt to ensure some sort of permanency. As it was the only cricket bat my brothers and I had, we continued to use it in our backyard games. Which goes a long way in explaining its current state. My brothers and I all left the farm in the early 1980's and I took the cricket bat with me. Since then it has remained in my possession up until now. I'm very happy to see it returned to the place of its origin, and for it to be kept in perpetuity at the Bendigo Hisgtorical Society, as it is part of the twentieth century history of Bendigo. I hope it brings some small pleasure to all who are interested in such things'. Rohan Moresi Cricket bat, blue material on handle grip of bat. Bat has signatures on the blade section. The bat was taken by Rohan Morosi, then 12, at the Queen Elizabeth Oval in December 1977, where he attended a game of the newly created World Series Cricket competition between West Indies versus World XI. Rohan gathered many signatures from players as they left after batting. The signature of Clive Lloyd, Ajif Labal, Mushtag Mohammed, Dennis Amiss, Eddie Barlow, Andy Roberts, Bob Woolmer, Barry Richards, Imran Khan and Joel Garner were on the bat.recreations, sports, cricket, queen elizabeth oval, rohan moresi, 1977

Mr Arthur Metzenthen, and his wife Elsie were the owners of the Confectionery Shop at 126 Union Road between Sunbury Crescent and Croydon Road. The 2 storey building was later occupied by a printing business and demolished to make way for Coles Local. The family lived behind and above the actual shop. It had a large backyard where their children played cricket (1927-1942). It is Arthur ‘Metz’, as he was always known by, behind the counter, icecream cone in hand ready to serve icecream. The certificates, behind the jars of sweets, were awarded to him when Empire Day was celebrated for his professionally-dressed window displays. There is an advertisement for Peters ‘Fuzz’. It was yellow in colour and had a slightly different texture from icecream. It was not one of Peters’ success stories. Arthur and Elsie made their own flavoured ice blocks until the event of the icypole. He carried a range of flavourings for his well-known spiders and malted milk drinks - these can be seen in front of the mirror. There is also a hot water urn for making tea and coffee, and an advertisement for Guests biscuits – a few tins on the shelf. These were served, using brown china crockery on glass topped tables (out of the picture on left side). Other items of interest are paper bags, peanuts, snowballs and large clocks of chocolate, scales and the cash register. A ‘halfpenny’ and ‘penny’ trays were kept in the glass display cabinet next to the refrigerator and were the children’s favourite way to spend their pocket money. A black and white photograph of a man standing behind the counter in a confectionary/food/sweet shop. He is wearing a white jacket. There are shelves of jars and tins behind him and a couple of big jars on the counter.Arthur Metzenthen 1933 S.
