... Battery Hill Fort at Port Fairy...Battery Hill Fort... (possibly Henry Christian) standing within the Battery Hill Fort... Battery Hill Fort at Port Fairy Photograph Digital copy ...Henry Beater Christian (1886-1962) , was a descendant of one of the earliest settler families in Kew. Employed at the Kew Asylum as a 'public servant', he was a skilled amateur photographer, photographing numerous scenes in Kew and on his travels around Victoria. The majority of his photographs date from 1916 to 1929. His finest photographs are housed in two photograph albums. Digital copy of a photograph from page 23 of the 47-page photograph album containing 261 gelatinous silver images, loaned by Diane Washfold with permission given to digitise and hold a copy in our collection. In the 1920s, the photographer travelled throughout Victoria, including on the west coast from Port Campbell to Port Fairy. Trips were presumably made by train and by foot. Lynda Tieman and her team at the Port Fairy Historical Society have tentatively identified a number of Henry Christian's photographs of Port Fairy, of which this is one.

In 1911 a quartz crusher was unearthed in McCrae Street during excavations at the site of the new St.Kilian's Girls Club Rooms. It was used by the late Mr. James Irons. It was found at a depth of ten feet. Mr. Angus Kennedy, who believed that he manufactured the plant for Mr. Irons, said Mr. Irons used to crush very rich quartz from the Sheepshead Reef, south of the Big Blue Battery. Some years ago, a solid granite stone-crusher was seen at Diamond Hill. It was at the site of the old Diamond Hill Hotel. The Comet Reef was found by Mr. Driesslau, who found gold in an outcrop when he was shooting parrots. Also mentioned is the tunnel that goes right through Diamond Hill.document, gold, mining in bendigo, mining in bendigo, unearthed quartz crusher, messrs ballerstedt, wittschiebe, luffsman, roeder lazarus, kock, hildebrandt, bruhn, miller, annear, wells, rae, jackson, woodward, sterry, burrowes, thorp, heine, holmes, gould, allen, brooks, watson, geo lansell, bendigo advertiser april 28th 1911, st kilian's girls' club rooms, mr james irons, mr angus kennedy, sheepshead reef, big blue battery, diamond hill hotel, victoria proprietary ltd., comet reef, mr driesslau, diamond hill tunnel -
