'C & L Series' and 'Semco Series', Bendigo. Early 1900's. Unused, and no writing on the reverse of the postcards. May have been connected with the Waterworth family. St. Paul's Church: St Paul's Cathedral, Bendigo was built in stages. The nave was built in 1868, the tower in 1872-73 and the transepts and sanctuary in 1926-27. Robert Love was the architect, although the final stage was supervised by architects Gawler and Drummond. Cathedral status was transferred from the original cathedral All Saints to St Paul's in 1981. The Gothic style cathedral is constructed of red brick with stone dressings. It has a simple cruciform plan comprising a six bay nave, transepts and sanctuary. A tall tower centrally located at the west end dominates the exterior. The peal of eight bells was cast by Meares and Co of London and installed in 1873. The interior features elaborately cusped roof principals; an organ by Alfred Fuller built in 1883 with a console and pipes added later from St Andrew's Cathedral, Sydney; and notable stained glass by Ferguson, Urie and Lyon. St Paul's Rectory was built in 1885 to a design by the architect W C Vahland. The Parish Office and Hall was built as a Sunday School in 1898 to a design by F W Lehmann. Queen's Reserve: Now known as part of the Bendigo Botanic Gardens, Rosalind Park, Pall Mall. In 1851, the gold rush transformed the area and eventually the mullock heaps became the most prominent public park in Bendigo. Rosalind Park was added to the Victorian Heritage Register in 2000 for its historic, archaeological, aesthetic, scientific (botanical) and architectural significance to the state of Victoria. The statue of Queen Victoria dates to 1903. St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church: Opened in 1859 as part of the Presbyterian Church, St. Andrew's. Union of the Presbyterian, Methodist and Congregational Churches in 1977 saw this church join the Uniting Church. Located in Myers Street, Bendigo. The Orphanage: The Convent of the Good Shepherd, Bendigo was established in 1905. It was established at the request of the Bishop to cater for children in the diocese of Bendigo (although it housed children from other areas as well). It was also known as St Aidan’s Orphanage, and was the only Good Shepherd Convent in Australia to care for boys. The section named St Aidan’s accommodated girls aged up to around 16 years, as well as boys aged up to around 11. Maryfields housed girls and women aged from around 15 years. The Convent ceased to operate as a residential facility for children in 1981. A number of women with disabilities remained at the Convent until it closed in 1984. Conservatory Gardens: Now known as part of the Bendigo Botanic Gardens, Rosalind Park, Pall Mall. In 1851, the gold rush transformed the area and eventually the mullock heaps became the most prominent public park in Bendigo.

Cormack was President of the Senate from 1971 to 1974. In 1976 the Prospect became an aged accommodation centre.Wooden Frame - light brown. Gold inner frame. Fawn mount.

The sky is blue with several fluffy clouds. ...From Victorian Heritage: The single storey mansion house with enclosed glass verandah, Burswood was built in 1853 on a site overlooking the Portland Bay for English born pioneer colonist Edward Henty. John Barrow of Adelaide was the architect for this exceptional Australian regency style residence which he designed as a central block of fine axed basalt ashlar and slate roof (now replaced) with flanking brick wings forming an enclosed rear courtyard. Burswood is the most important early mansion house in western Victoria, being an exceptional Australian regency design by distinguished colonial architect James Barrow. Edward Henty, a member of one of Australia's most remarkable colonial families and the founder of Portland, established the first permanent settlement in Victoria on 19th November 1834, and Burswood is testimony to his success as an early colonist. Henty lived in his mansion for 17 years in a semi-regal state. Burswood has been little altered since completion in 1853. A glasshouse conservatory to the side of the present enclosed verandah was demolished prior to 1895 and the slate roof replaced with iron. Johnstone, O’Shannessy & Co was a leading photographic studio located in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It was active from 1865 to 1905. Henry James Johnstone was also an artist and studied at Louis Buvelot's school and with Thomas Clark.Painting of a sandstone coloured building.

... The building underwent several phases of construction, including a reversal of its main entrance and the addition of a cupola stairwell and conservatory. ...The building underwent several phases of construction, including a reversal of its main entrance and the addition of a cupola stairwell and conservatory. ...The Fortuna Villa is an expansive Victorian mansion built entirely on the profits of Bendigo's lucrative gold reefs. Established by the wealthy Ballerstedt family in the 1860s, it was purchased and expanded in the 1870s by George Lansell, who was to become one of Australia's wealthiest men. Fortuna villa and gardens were once occupied and cared for by the Australia Army Survey Regiments since 1942 for over thirty years. The tour guide informs us that Fortuna Villa was originally a modest two-story villa, acquired by George Lansell in 1871 along with the 180 Mine for £230,000.Lansell, known as the "Quartz King," made his fortune through deep reef gold mining in Bendigo, particularly with the New Chum Reef and other successful mines. The villa and its grounds expanded significantly as Lansell's wealth grew, incorporating architectural features inspired by his travels. The mansion is built over the New Chum Reef, with its lower floor penetrating the reef, resulting in three floors at the rear and two at the front.Notable features include the Italian water garden, tiered lakes (originally mine settling ponds), elaborate interiors (parquet floors, stained glass, marble baths), and a tunnel used for gold transport. The building underwent several phases of construction, including a reversal of its main entrance and the addition of a cupola stairwell and conservatory. Fortuna Villa hosted many notable guests, including governors and possibly the Prince of Wales.The house was lavishly furnished and decorated, reflecting Lansell's wealth and status. After Lansell's death in 1906, the villa remained in the family until 1934, then was sold and briefly used as a reception house. The property fell into disrepair before being leased by the Army in 1942 for wartime mapping and later purchased by the Commonwealth Government.It became the headquarters for the Army Survey Regiment, with parts of the building repurposed for administrative and mapping functions until the 1980s.Classification Report and Notes on the history of Fortuna from the National Trust to the Bendigo Council 20th October 2008. This item contains the following documents: 3084.46a Tourist brochure for Fortuna; 16 pages - it includes photographs and detailed history of George Lansell's involvement in the property and his mining history. 3084.45b Fortuna Bendigo re Clasification by the National Trust Detailed Letter to the Bendigo Council in 2008 contains an excellent 11 page summary of its history.history, national trust bendigo collection, bendigo, fortuna, george lansell, mining
