While the caption on this postcard says 'Gembrook', this photograph is believed to be from Menzies Creek (where VEMUP0840.1 and VEMUP0840.3 were taken). Menzies Creek does not run to Gembrook; it diverges from Woori Yallock Creek at Butterfield Reserve in Emerald and then runs to the town of Menzies Creek. This makes it more likely that this photograph is from Emerald or Menzies Creek, with the annotation on the reverse suggesting it was near A'Vard Park (where Menzies Creek intersects A'Vard Road) and therefore in Emerald. It is part of Melbourne's V.S.M. (Victoria Stamp Market) Series, printed in Prussia, Germany alongside several similar hand-coloured postcards in our collection. This postcard is believed to originate from c. 1905, but the image itself - depicting a gold washing bath on Menzies Creek - might be older. Gold mining in Emerald was most popular in the 1850s and 60s. However, gold mining on Menzies Creek reopened in the 1890s depression, which is a more likely source of this photograph.This postcard is significant for its relative uniqueness as a colourised depiction of Emerald's gold mining history.This item is a hand-coloured photographic postcard. The reverse has empty message, stamp, and address sections, with a small handwritten annotation in pencil and printed publication information. The photograph is accompanied by a printed caption in the bottom-left. It depicts a walking track running alongside a channel or creek, with both approaching from the centre of the background to the left of the foreground. They are surrounded on either side by trees, shrubs, and ferns. The paper of the reverse is slightly yellowed.Obverse, Caption: "Track through Bush, Gembrook" Reverse: Handwritten Annotation: "Water race along the Menzies Creek / near A'Vard Park. / GOLD" Printed Label, Vertical: "Printed in Prussia" Printed Label, Horizontal: "V.S.M.
