Henry Beater Christian (1886-1962) , was a descendant of one of the earliest settler families in Kew. Employed at the Kew Asylum as a 'public servant', he was a skilled amateur photographer, photographing numerous scenes in Kew and on his travels around Victoria. The majority of his photographs date from 1916 to 1929. His finest photographs are housed in two photograph albums. Digital copy of a photograph from page 32 of the 47-page photograph album containing 261 gelatinous silver images, loaned by Diane Washfold with permission given to digitise and hold a copy in our collection. John Chapman has written in 'Bushwalking Clubs - A Brief History', about the establishment in Victoria of the first bushwalking club in 1888, and the popularisation of bushwalking during the interwar period. Henry Christian's 'walks' appear to have been undertaken solely or with a companion/s. This black and white photo is part of a group of photos taken in the Victorian High Country. The page is labelled 'Near Glen Wills & Lightning Ridge" and includes photos of bush tracks, family groups, and natural features. The small black and white photo depicts a grove of native mountain ash with a group of tree ferns in the middle distance."NEAR GLEN WILLS & LIGHTNING CRK"henry beater christian (1886-1962), landscape photography, christian-washfold collection, photograph albums, bushwalking, northeast victoria, victorian high country, glen wills, lighting creek

A digital copy of a colour photograph of Cooks Mill in Victoria. Located in the Cathedral Range State Park near Marysville, Cooks Mill was established as Cathedral Mill in 1938. Processing Mountain Ash and Manna Gum, it was a major local employer before ceasing operations in 1955. Early settlers initially used the harsh, rocky country of the Cathedral Range for grazing. However, wild dogs and difficult terrain eventually ended this. In 1938, timber workers established the Cathedral Mill near the junction of Little River and Storm Creek. The mill was later renamed Cooks Mill and supported local milling operations through the 1940s and 1950s, supplying sawn timber to the Healesville railway station and Melbourne builders. The mill itself stopped operating in 1955, though logging continued in the surrounding forests until late 1971.A digital copy of a colour photograph of Cooks Mill in Victoria.marysville, victoria, australia, taggerty, cathedral range state park, cathedral mill, mountain ash, manna gum, little river, storm creek, cooks mill, healesville railway station, melbourne

A colour photograph taken at Sunds Bros Sawmill in Marysville. Sund's Sawmill (historically operated by Arthur & John Sund and often referenced locally as Sund Stenco) was a prominent mid-century timber mill located in Marysville, Victoria. It played a central role in the region's booming post-war logging era. The mill was highly active during the 1950s. This era marked a peak for Marysville's timber sector, with over 300 men employed across multiple local mills, sustaining nearly 1,000 residents. According to Victoria Government Gazette records from 1958, the Sund brothers operated commercial goods vehicles to transport Mountain ash and other hardwood logs from forest landings in the Mt.
