It is unclear who the Jack Moore in this photograph was or where it came from. There was a Jack Moore who was a hotel proprietor in Kangaroo Ground from 1910, but this is also a very common name so realistically it could have been anyone. It was most likely taken in the early 20th century, judging by the sepia colour but clear photography.This photograph depicts Monbulk in the late 19th or early 20th century, showing ways of life, travel, and accommodation at the time.This item is a sepia photograph with particularly heavy red tinting, printed on white card paper. The reverse has a small handwritten annotation and accession number, both in pencil. It depicts ten men with several animals including horses and dogs. To the right of the frame, six of the men sit in front of a triangular hut structure of wood and corrugated metal. To the left, the other four are near the road, which continues up a hill in the background. The background also contains several trees and a wood-and-wire fence.Reverse, Handwritten Annotation: "[Jack Moore Monbulk] P272" Attached Note: "JACK MOORE IN THIS PHOTO - NOT KNOWN WHERE IT WAS TAKEN / P272"monbulk

This photograph appears to be taken from a hill. While Main Road and Monbulk Road are both in Monbulk, the reference to Madigan's abattoir indicates that the annotations are more likely to be referring to Main Street and Emerald-Monbulk Road in Emerald. It's difficult to determine whether the annotation means it is taken from Main Street or looking down to Main Street, but the absence of buildings in this relatively recent photograph indicate that it is likely the former. It could have been taken from Main Street, looking down at Madigan Way and the undeveloped land behind it. However, it is difficult to confidently assess any of this information, as it is to determine when this picture was taken.The photograph likely captures a unique perspective on an area of Emerald that has since been transformed by time.A black and white picture printed on glossy photograph paper. The photograph is taken from atop a grassy hill, looking down at a plowed field with occasional trees. Behind the field is a road with fences on either side, continuing across the view from left to right. Behind the road are pastures with scattered animals (two horses or cows, possibly several sheep) leading in to a line of trees in the central background. On the left side a hill rises on the horizon, while on the right are several buildings with higher hills or mountains rising in the far background. On the right, handwritten text in blue pen accompanies an arrow pointing to a roadway - 'Monbulk Rd'. The reverse features more writing, both in blue pen and in pencil. The extreme left side of the object is discoloured by yellow tape.Obverse, Pen: "MONBULK RD" Reverse, Pencil: "Lefthand side where trees situated / Madigan's abattoir."

George W A'Vard (1890-1966) was a long-time resident of the area, known for his bullock team. That team may be off-camera in this photograph, preparing to pull the wagon of logs pictured. His business was operational by 1913, but it is unclear precisely when this photo was taken. The photo is said to have been taken at the Red Mill, which is on 62 Monbulk Road, Belgrave and opened in 1925 as the Belgrave Kiosk and Dance Palais. This is a photograph of a notable Emerald resident, capturing early 20th century transportation methods.This item is a printed black and white photograph on modern photo paper. The reverse features Kodak logos and a handwritten annotation. The photograph shows three men standing or leaning on a 4-wheeled wagon. The wagon is flat, with logs piled on top and tied down by two ropes. The foreground shows flat ground, while there are trees filling the background.
