The waterbody was the site of a quarry that existed between Grovedale Road and James Street, Surrey Hills on land owned by J B Maling (senior). Clay from it was used to make bricks for local houses. The quarry became a hazard and after several drownings was filled in. The Grovedale Park now occupies the site. Muriel Hedwig Lucy Pornitz, also known as Muriel Pornett, lived locally. She was born in Melbourne in 1894 and studied at the South Australian School of Arts & Crafts in 1911 under James Ashton and Fred Britton, and at the Australian School of Etching in Sydney.

The photo is of a painting of the dam formed on land between Grovedale Road and James Street, Surrey Hills. It was painted in 1927 by Miss Muriel Pornitz, an art teacher, who lived in Grovedale Road. The land had been part of Mr James Maling Snr’s property and in the 1880s clay was removed to build houses, including his own located on the corner of Weybridge and James Streets. Maling grazed cattle on this area and used it as a dam. The land was subsequently made into parkland, the quarry / dam having been filled in after several drownings had occurred in the 1920s/1930s.

Mrs Muriel Andrews, 77, has spent the past nine months in hospital, but she has not lost her vitality. Muriel was called up as a nurse in 1942 after the bombing of Pearl Harbour. Stationed at a hospital near Port Moresby Muriel saw many casualties who, due to the length of time it took for them to arrive at hospitals, had not just terrible wounds, but infection in them. Muriel will admit to having felt bitter towards the Japanese during the war, particularly in a moment she was tasked with giving a Japanese soldier a needle while wishing it was a big screw. Muriel now has the attitude of forgive and forget towards the Japanese but will never forget her friends who were killed at their hands.A [newspaper] clipping featuring four columns of text underneath a large black and white photo of a seated older woman laughing with two younger women in nurse's uniforms.'Muriel (Stacey) Andrews' [blue ink, top right] 'NC010'[graphite pencil, mid right, reverse of page]world war 2, wwii, ww2, world war ii, heidelberg repatriation hospital, new south wales, papua new guinea
