This is the story of Scouting and of community service in and around Emerald, Victoria and ref lects the impact of Scouting in a semi-rural part of Victoria and Graeme’s role in moulding a part of it. It commences through the eyes of a youth, Graeme Legge, who joined the re-established Emerald Scout Group as a 12 year old in 1948 and recounts his leadership and support to youth and community of his town, its Scout District and Cardinia Shire over more than seven decades. Graeme shares his early Scouting travel experiences in the 1950s to Fraser Island in Queensland, to the Pieman River in western Tasmania, to Jamborees at Wonga Park, Victoria in 1948, Greystanes, Sydney in 1952 and Clifford Park, Victoria, 1956 as something we the readers can contrast with how Scouting does such adventures today.He outlines four months of overseas travel to the UK in 1951 as part of the “Sun” newspaper Youth Travel scheme where he met some fellow Scouts who, like him, were chosen to represent their local Shire and he visited places and experiences which clearly had an impact on his future Scouting journey. He captures the mood and the energy of his years of Scouting Leadership, as when he met Lady Baden-Powell in Emerald, illustrated through his photos, clippings and graphics which are drawn from his personal collection and research of local newspapers in the Victorian Scout Magazine, all befitting the method of a teaching and educational professional."--Foreword.159 p.non-fiction'This Log Book is much more than its title suggests.

The club has changed its official colours three times, playing firstly under blue and white colours, then green and gold before adopting the red and black colours shown in the photograph and still used today. The club has also been known variously as the 'Emites', the 'Redlegs' and the current 'Bombers.' A joint Australian Football League (AFL) and La Trobe University Centre for Sport and Social Impact study discusses the importance of local football teams for fostering community cohesion and relationships and distributing information and health and social issues to local people. Local football and other sporting teams are integral to the economic and social development of an area and are therefore significant far beyond the immediate players or families associated with the club.The photograph is significant for its insights into the history of sports and recreation in the Emerald region in the 1980s. It depicts a key moment between the Emerald Football Club (the 'Bombers') and Powelltown Football Club. Australian Rules Football has a long history in the region and played a fundamental role in community life.Black and white rectangular photograph printed on photographic paper. 1983 Grand Final, in which the Emerald Football Club defeated Powelltown.

Tindale and R. Marsden (seated). Gus Ryberg was a prominent citizen of the Emerald region; receiving an Order of Australia medal for services to the local community in 1996. Early in his career he worked for the Gembrook Nurseries, which after his retirement led him to lobby for the last section of the land occupied by the nurseries to be formed into a public park with a purpose-built museum. Ryberg was responsible for many of the plantings in the resulting Nobelius Heritage Estate. After his death a Canadian Maple was planted in his honour with an accompanying memorial plaque. The records also indicate the photograph may relate to the Shire of Sherbrooke Community Awards. The Shire of Sherbrooke existed from 1964 to 1994. Prior to 1964 it was part of Fern Tree Gully Shire (an Honours board from this period is visible in the photograph) and after 1994 it became part of the Shire of Yarra Ranges.This photograph is significant as it may depict people attending a Community Awards ceremony at the Shire of Sherbrooke offices prior to the Shire's amalgamation into the Shire of Yarra Ranges in 1994.Black and white rectangular photograph printed on photographic paper.

The name Rotary was chosen to reflect that positions of power within the organisation would be rotated to avoid any one person or group having too much influence on the organisation's decisions. The organisation was renamed the International Association of Rotary Clubs in 1912 after groups were formed in Canada, Ireland and the United Kingdom. Groups in non-English speaking countries such as Cuba and the Phillipines were formed later that decade. Only men could become members until 1989. The first Rotary group in Australia was formed in Melbourne in 1921. The name Rotary International was adopted at the first Australian convention in 1922.

With this growth, and its services to the surrounding communities of Avonsleigh, Clematis, and Macclesfield, it was considered appropriate to open a new post office building. ...The first post office in Emerald was opened on December 1899, most likely under the control of David Andrews, the postmaster. Prior to the opening of this post office, mail was reportedly carried by horseback to and from Gembrook to Packenham, where it was then collected by foot every second day. Emerald Post Office found its home in Main Street in 1906, where it remained until the mid 1980s. There, they handled in excess of 15,000 mail items a year. By the 1980s, Emerald had become a popular residential area with a population of more than 4000 people. With this growth, and its services to the surrounding communities of Avonsleigh, Clematis, and Macclesfield, it was considered appropriate to open a new post office building. The brick building, standing on Kilvington Drive, was built by Sandel Construction Pty Ltd, costing approximately $420,000. In the mid 1980s, the post office occupied the entire building. However, it now shares the structure with a local business.This photograph demonstrates the rapid growth of Emerald through the late 1900s. Since the post office stands within the same building today, it also provides an effective measure of how much the surrounding streetscape and business has grown and changed over this time.A black and white photograph of a large brick building.

Flora Jane Ryberg (formerly Warner) was one of the first female missionaries sent to the First Nations communities in Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia. She was sent there by the London Bible Mission. Her mission was shortlived, and she returned soon after.The record is historically significant as it belonged to Flora Jane Ryberg, the mother of Gus Ryberg OAM; a prominent resident of Emerald.
