These photographs, taken by The Advocate in 1993, were published as part of the newspaper’s ongoing column profiling local traders across the district. These photographs feature one of the staff from Boral Masonry located at 57 Reid Street Ardeer. The Sunshine Advocate’s feature on local traders was a modest yet well‑liked column that played a meaningful role in strengthening community identity. Through these regular profiles, the newspaper promoted local businesses and helped shape Sunshine’s understanding of its developing commercial district.7523.01 - Boral Masonry 57 Reid Street Ardeer 1994 Photographs (Advocate 8.2).JPG 7523.02 - Boral Masonry 57 Reid Street Ardeer 1994 Photographs (Advocate 8.2).JPG 7523.03 - Boral Masonry 57 Reid Street Ardeer 1994 Photographs (Advocate 8.2).JPGboral masonry, reid street, ardeer

These photographs, taken by The Advocate in 1990, feature the Boral Quarry located off Duke Street, Sunshine North. The images document the quarry during its operational period, when it formed part of the area's significant extractive and industrial landscape. They provide a valuable record of a site that contributed to the supply of construction materials and supported the growth and development of Melbourne's western suburbs. Since these photographs were taken, quarrying operations have ceased and the site has been redeveloped as a residential estate.These photographs preserve evidence of a former industrial landscape that has undergone substantial transformation, illustrating the changing land use and urban development of Sunshine North over time.6764.01 - Boral Quarry Duke Street Sunshine North 1990 Photograph (Advocate 11.1).JPG 6764.02 - Boral Quarry Duke Street Sunshine North 1990 Photograph (Advocate 11.1).JPG 6764.03 - Boral Quarry Duke Street Sunshine North 1990 Photograph (Advocate 11.1).JPG 6764.04 - Boral Quarry Duke Street Sunshine North 1990 Photograph (Advocate 11.1).JPGboral quarry, duke street, sunshine north

The spade is a memento of the planting of a tree by the responseible Commonealth Minister to recognise the contribution of ATCV and ATCV volunteers to repair of the Australian environment. At the time ATCV had been operating in Ballarat for six years. ATCV volunteers had planted 192,000 trees from April 1987- March 1988. Senator Richardson was then Minister for the Arts and the Environment in the Hawke ALP Government and on 17 November 1988 he planted a tree using this spade at Sovereign Hill Outdoor Museum (at which ATCV volunteers had planted trees which are (by 2010) fully grown and a significant feature of the site). Peter Hiscock was director of Sovereign Hill as well as President of ATCV and among the most significant leaders of ATCV (now CVA). The spade also symbolises the recovery of ATCV (then a small and struggling community group) from near closure owing to the effects of the 1987 recession. The Cyclone Sylvaspade concept was component project of the Australian Bicentennial celebrations aimed at recognising organisations which had contributed positively to conservation of Australia's environment. The concept was originated and driven by Dr Wilf Crane of the CSIRO Division of Forestry and a highly regarded forester and environmentalist and champion of the cause of rejuvenating Australia's degraded landscape with trees. At the naming of a road after him in Canberra he was described as a: "enthusiast, a man of conviction, action, humility and simplicity". Wilf conceived the project, developed the tree planting spade with Boral Cyclone and the Institute of Foresters of Australia and launched it with the then Governor-General Sir Ninian Stephens at the new Parliament House. Cyclone has been a brand name for a manufacturer of good quality hand tools for over a century. It is likely manufacturing was still done in Australia at the time of manufacture of the Sylvaspade. Much of it has now moved offshore, particuarly to China and Taiwan.This object is historically significant because it is a memento of a significant national event, the 200th anniversary of European settlement and the start of a process of environmental change which has had negative consequences and which demands a commitment to conserving the uniques Australian national environment. It recognised the achievement of ATCV in tree planting over six years. The Cyclone Sylvaspade is a practical memento and having the responsible Commonwealth Minister plant a tree with it was highly symbolic of ATCV's practical commitment to repair of our environment all over Australia. It was also used by the Victorian Premier, Hon John Brumby, to plant a tree at the reopening of the Boral Asphalt plant, Ballarat, in April 2010. The spade is No. 12 of a limited edition. This item is a functional tree planting spade called a "Cyclone Sylvaspade", mounted on a block of wood with a plaque. The handle of the spade is made of grey plastic, the haft is light, stained wood, and the blade is manufactured to resemble silver and has engravings. It was donated by the Boral company and presented to ATCV by the Minister of Arts and the Environment, Senator Graham Richardson after he had planted a tree to mark the occasion at Sovereign Hill Outdoor Museum, BallaratOn the stem of the spade here is a label showing the logo of the Boral company which reads "SYLVASPADE Tree Planting Spade - Made in Australia." On the blade is engraved "Cyclone - NUMBER 0012 - SYLVASPADE - 1788-1988" together with the logo of the Australian Bicentennial Authority. The spade is mounted on a sturdy polished wooden board on which there is a brass-coloured plate bearing the words: "PRESENTED BY SENATOR THE HON GRAHAM RICHARDSON TO AUSTRALIAN TRUST FOR CONSERVATION VOLUNTEERS IN RECOGNITION OF THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO THE ENVIRONMENT 17TH NOVEMBER 1988 DONATED BY BORAL LIMITED"of, trust, ballarat, memento, australian, australia, environment, conservation, atcv, for, volunteers, cyclone, sylvaspade, senator graham richardson, 1788 1988 australian, bicentennial, boral, spade, sovereign hill, 17th november 1988, 1988, minister for arts and environment, tree planting, institute, foresters, dr, wilf, crane

Jack Lockett was born in 1891 at Tarnagulla and left school at age of 12. He worked various jobs until World War 1 and volunteered. He served in various campaigns in Europe and later returned home and commenced farming in the Mallee near the small town of Linga. It was wheat but included sheep and cattle. Jack and his wife 'Doll' raised their family on the farm and then retired to Bendigo. Jack Lockett died at the age of 111 and was called by then Prime Minister, John Howard, as a 'priceless national treasure' when presented with the Knight of the Legion of Honour by the French Government. The area of Linga is situated on the Mallee Highway between Ouyen and the South Australian border. It is 11 kilometres west of Underbool. Linga may be a derivative of the traditional name Lar-gni (camp of). It was a place to stay and camp - to linger a while.Four black and white photographs of Jack Lockett and his family. a Jack Lockett harvesting on the farm at Linga 1927. b Jack Lockett at the bore sunk on farm at Linga. c Jack and Doll Lockett 1950. d First tractor on the Linga farm - son Jack Lockett on tractor and Jack Lockett Snr and son Ron on the header.a 'Harvest Time Linga Farm.
