The statement reads as follows:- "The ornamental shield with a casket giving the History of all the pupils who offered for War service in the 1914 - 1918 War was made by the pupils of the Sloyd (woodwork) class and Mr Kidman headmaster. He also wrote the honour book in fine calligraphy. A framed collection of their photographs was donated by Mrs. J.B. Richardson. These were unveiled in a special ceremony at the school on the 17th October 1921. Also in 1921 an Avenue of Honour of gum trees was planted by schoolchildren and residents, along both sides of the Boorahaman road in front of the school. I do not know the exact date most of these trees remain. When the school was closed in 1949, local residents were invited to remove what ever they fancied, so Mr W.B. Richardson chose the two above mentioned items. After the death of both parents - last one in 1977 - Clarice Tobias and her Husband Jim took care of the shield and the photo`s. During 2002 the photo`s were presented to Wangaratta R.S.L. Sub/Branch, and the shield went to Brisbane where it was beautifully restored by Wallace Richardson and his son-in-law Reg Townsend shortly before he passed away. The shield returned to Wangaratta in July 2003 and is now in the care of Wangaratta R.S.L.

Paperback book with glossy front covernon-fictionArticle Page 45: McKay's 1891 Journey: A Window into the Victorian Mallee Back Country by John Burch In 1891, Nathaniel McKay, the father of Hugh Victor McKay, the inventor of the Sunshine Harvester, travelled south from Mildura across the Mallee back country to Yellumjip, south-west of Ouyen. He described his journey in the Mildura cultivator, and his articles provide a rare description of the back country, also opening a window into colonial and Aboriginal use of the land. The document the squatters' attempts to develop the land, and their reliance on Aboriginal labour. In combination with other colonial sources, McKay's observation also suggests extensive pre-colonial use of the back country by Aboriginal people. That Aboriginal land use then provides a framework that explains the settlement patterns of the squatters.nathaniel mckay, aboriginal, first nation, aborigine, hugh victor mckay, john burch
