Postcard - Hydraulic Sluicing, Emerald near Gembrook, Unknown photographer
... community, John Ure, who ran various businesses including a cheese factory in Silver Hills/North Gembrook. The lack of legible postage date opens up many mysteries about this item, as well as different references to the person in the sluice being "Tom Collins" The record shows strong significance, depicting working conditions and technology of early gold mining in the Emerald area. Even more-so, the personal/commercial correspondence depicts a customer ordering cheese from the local cheese factory, presumably before electric communication. Emerald Victoria Australia Gembrook Victoria Australia Gembrook Emerald Avonsleigh Menzies Creek ...A brief gold rush starting in 1858 led to the opening up of the Emerald district. While short lived (and not very successful,) the influx of people led to the early timber and farming industries that built the communities that now exist. The image on the postcard shows typical working conditions on more advanced operations, using significant diversions of creeks to provide water for sluicing while the creek bed below the diversion would be dried and exposed to allow workers to remove the material for processing in the hydraulic sluice. The correspondence on the postcard, whilst sometimes difficult to read, helps to paint a picture of life in the district, and how people communicated in this earlier period. The recipient of the postcard is a prominent member of the early Gembrook community, John Ure, who ran various businesses including a cheese factory in Silver Hills/North Gembrook.

Even more-so, the personal/commercial correspondence depicts a customer ordering cheese from the local cheese factory, presumably before electric communication.Black and White rectangular postcard printed on laminated card stock, personal correspondence. This postcard depicts hydraulic sluicing in the Emerald area of Victoria. Two bearded workers, one wearing a hat, are posing in the mid ground. One is standing in the sluice itself and one standing above on the embankment with shovel in hand. Native forest surrounds the workings with roots exposed, while the sluice itself runs vertical through the frame, roughly cut into the ground.

St Cuthbert's was subsequently used for weddings, christenings, funerals and other functions, extending the building's significance to the local community ...The land St Cuthbert's stands on may have been donated by a resident of the region by James Hermon and may have been designed by Robert Cason. The Victorian Heritage Register lists the year the building was completed as 1909 but other sources indicate a slightly earlier date of 1907-8. The architectural design is unusual in combining a Gothic arched door with square pointed windows. The Register notes that the building's Arts and Crafts character would have been accentuated by the original stained-wood cladding, though in this image the cladding has been painted white. Further research would be needed to state the percentage of people in Menzies Creek, Emerald and surrounds who identified as Anglican in the first half of the Twentieth Century due to a lack of detail in the available census data. In the 1991 Census 18.2% of Victorians stated that they were Anglican, the second largest faith group. Despite this, the Church sold the property to a private owner in 1997. St Cuthbert's was subsequently used for weddings, christenings, funerals and other functions, extending the building's significance to the local community as a place of celebration and commemoration. The wedding chapel closed in 2022 and the building became a private home.The photograph is significant as an image of a heritage listed church building prior to renovations and extension works in 1997 that changed the profile of the building. The Church served as a place of worship for people of the Anglican faith in the area from approximately 1909 to 1997 and as a wedding venue from 1998 until the venue's closure.Black and white rectangular photograph printed on photographic paper. The photograph depicts St Cuthbert's Anglican Church in Menzies Creek, prior to renovation and extension works in 1997 that have given the modern building a different profile.menzies creek, st cuthberts church, james hermon, robert cason, anglican church, church of england, weddings, christenings, funerals -
