The first recorded discovery of gold in Moliagul was in September 1852 and, before long, the area was flooded with over 4,000 miners. Two of those miners, John Deason and Richard Oates, had arrived in Bendigo in 1954 seeking their fortune. After eight years of little success, the friends moved to Moliagul and pegged a puddling claim. On 05 February 1869, Deason discovered a nugget near the roots of a tree, just 3cm beneath the soil. With the help of Oates, he uncovered the largest recorded alluvial gold nugget – known as the Welcome Stranger. The 61cm x 31cm nugget was taken to Dunolly to be measured on the bank’s scales, however at 69kg the gold needed to be broken on an anvil to actually fit on the scales.Photograph of the monument for the Welcome Nugget, a large gold nugget found by John Deason and Richard Oates at Moliagul.Obelisk inscription Welcome Stranger Nugget On this spot the largest nugget of gold in the world was discovered on the 5th February 1869 by John Deason and Richard Oates.

The oat and grain store was positioned opposite Emerald's original police station at 15 Kilvington Drive, on what is now the railway property near Puffing Billy Playground. The grain store was first built in the 1920s, used by Clyde Stapleton in the 1940s, and demolished not long after this photograph was taken in 1961.Oat and grain stores were important to horse-based transportation, the agriculture industry, and food supply until the mid-20th century.The main item is the black and white photograph, with a printed annotation pasted to the reverse; there is also a larger sepia copy. Both depict a stone or painted brick building by the side of the road, with a wooden annexe at the rear. There is no door on the building, which stands beside a road. In the background are several trees. The reverse of the sepia version has Kodak logos and handwritten pen annotations; the black and white copy has, besides the printed annotations, a handwritten title and accession number.Black & White, Reverse: "165 Oat & grain Store / P00529 / 165 Oat and grain store, built in the 1920s opposite the police / station (site of [crossed out: present playground] [handwritten: railway property]): [crossed out: Clive] [handwritten: Clyde] Stapleton used to come / from the city to shoe horses here in the 1940s/ The phootgraph was / taken in 1961 before the store was demolished. / [crossed out, handwritten: Legges used it as a store]" Sepia, Reverse: "Gary Steven's gave me this photo. 1961. / Original Oat & Grain Store / Clive Stapleton shod horses here / when he came up from Town. / Opposite Police Station (where the playground is)"agriculture, transport, 1960s, stapleton family

Dry foods for domestic use were packaged in cloth bags from the late 19th century to the mid 20th century. As the bags contain the name Parsons' it could be presumed that they were oat bags as the Parsons Company packaged a variety of groceries for the Australian market including oats. The bags provide an example of calico bags used to store dry goods. Being presented as a ‘Farm Animal Series’ gives them added value as a collectable item and may have been an advertising ploy used by the company.A set of two calico bags from the Parsons' company - most likely bought as oat bags. The two are: No 1. (Clydesdale) and No 3. (Suffolk) from the Parsons' Farm Animal Series. Each bag has a multicoloured ink picture and written information about the horse described on the bag.8650.1 PARSONS' FARM ANIMAL SERIES No. 1, CLYDESDALE, The Clydesdale originated in the valley of the Clyde, Scotland. The main characteristics of the Clydesdale are ability to acclimatise in all parts of the world and perform all types of draught work. Clydesdale breeders lay emphasis upon bone, quality, weight, and action. The feet must be proportionate to the size of the horse, the hoof-head should have a full crown, with heels wide and quarters strong. 8650.2 PARSONS' FARM ANIMAL SERIES No. 3, SUFFOLK, The Suffolk, often known as the Suffolk Punch, originated in the County of Suffolk, England and is noted for its hardiness. From 15 to 16 hands in height, the Suffolk in general is smaller than the Clydesdale. The head is rather coarse, with the neck short. The body long, deep and wide with a round full appearance. The croup is straight, the legs short and free from feather. The invariable colour is chestnut, varying from light to dark.flagstaff hill maritime museum and village, great ocean road, shipwreck coast, warrnambool, calico, domestic object, textile, food storage, parsons' farm animal series, oats, clydesdale, suffolk
