Heading south along Main Road just past Arthur Street. The parade commentators are visible in their stand on the right. This grader was registered AXV-382 but it appears that it participated in the parade before it was regsitered or the regsitration plates were attached. Victorian registration plate (green letters on white background) of the form AAA-000 to FZZ-999 and RAA-000 to RBZ-999 ran from 1977 to 1994. This would suggest the photo was dated circa 1978 The van behind the grader appears to be a 1976 Toyota HiAce (H10) the last of the first generation Other (later) photos of this grader are EDHS_01830-3/4/5 and EDHS_02980Marked "New Grader G 80%"1978, axv-382 (vic), eltham community festival, graders, grand parade, komatsu grader, shire of eltham

A postcard with a black and white image of small boats being towed on a rope through water. Each boat is carrying several soldiers, and other ships and boats can be seen in the background. From the title it is a landing party going ashore near Gaba Tepe, on the Gallipoli peninsula. The back of the post card is blank so it was kept more as a souvenir than sent as a letter. There are other similar postcards in the collection.Images of Gallipoli were captured on postcards as mementoes. Postcards were a very common form of communication in the first World War. Postcards as souvenirs or as correspondence would have been familiar to the first Legatees as they had served in World War 1.Black and white postcard with an image of small boats being towed on a rope through water.

FALLS CREEK ROPE TOWS Toni St Elmo brought back plans for a Hamilton rope tow from New Zealand. He had a rope tow built in the summer of 1950-51 and it went into operation the following winter. Skiers were charged 10/- per day to use it. Skiers held onto the rope with a locking device called a ‘nutcracker” attached to a webbing belt. This tow, known as the Nissen Tow, continued to operate until 1960. Bob Hymans installed a shorter portable rope tow for his guests at Skyline from 1954. Other tows included the Village Tow and the Nursery Tow. Eventually most of the tows were taken over by Alpine Developments. From 1960 onwards they were gradually replaced by T-bars and then later on by chairlifts. This belt is from the original rope tow used between 1951 and 1960 in the Falls Creek ski lifts. These items are significant because were part of the earliest rope tows constructed at Falls Creek.A canvas waist belt with leg hoops and metal joining and hook used to attach skier to the rope tow. The wheel is also a damaged component of the Rope Tow.falls creek, nissen alpine club, rope tows, toni st elmo
