This jug was awarded to John Albert Edward Street for his work in soil conservation at his property, Bandiana Park. John Albert Edward Street was born on the 8th November 1895 in Wodonga, Victoria to George Street and Theresa Emily Davis. He was a grandson of Frederic Street and his wife Sarah nee Kinchington, one of the earliest pioneering families in . On arrival in the Kiewa Valley, Frederic was engaged to run Gundowring Station. In 1852 Frederic took up land at Baranduda. Over the years he consolidated his holdings including land acquired by his seven sons. They established both Bandiana Park and the old Baranduda Homestead. Most of the sons stayed in the Baranduda area. The Street family continued working to farm the original property and John and his brother Clarence were pioneers in implementing soil conservation practices to improve their pastures from the mid1920s. They dissolved their partnership in 1941 but the Street family continued to farm the land until much of the property was acquired by the Albury Wodonga Development Corporation. Mr. J. A. E. Street was a community minded man. He was a member of the provisional committee which formed to establish a Show Society and was a Foundation Member of the Wodonga Show Society s first Committee. He continued to serve the Committee for 30 years. Mr Street also served on the Wodonga Shire Council. After many years of service to the Wodonga community, John Albert Edward Street passed away in Wodonga in 1976.This teapot is significant because it was presented to a prominent Wodonga and district family for their pioneering work in soil conservation.It features grape vine motifs and has lions paw feet.UPPER MURRAY REGION SOIL CONSERVATION COMPETITION Presented to MR.
