A book of 64 pages including patterns, diagrams and information. The cover features different colours of spun wool and the organisation's logo.This book is a collection of favourite handspun patterns and recipes gathered together during the first 10 years of the Albury/Wodonga Hand-weavers and Spinners Guild, 1970 to 1980. Many of the patterns are completely original creations and therefore had never before been published. Other patterns were derived from old commercial patterns, and altered to suit handspun wool or the article being constructed. This book is the culmination of several months of research by a dedicated group of crafts-women within the Guild who have carefully re-checked all the patterns. Some of the garments had been awarded major prizes in the Annual National Woolcraft Festival, which is held mid-year in Albury for many years. The Albury/Wodonga Hand-weavers and Spinners Guild is still in operation in 2026.albury wodonga spinners, albury wodonga community groups, knitting patterns, wool spinners

Construction of the main road from South Tawonga to the Bogong High Plains, to provide access to the construction sites for the new Kiewa Hydro Electric Scheme, was commenced early in 1938, the work being undertaken on behalf of the commission by the Country Roads Board. For the construction work, the Commission purchased three Caterpillar - model R07 - diesel crawler tractors equipped with Kay Brunerei (Brunner) hydraulically operated trailbuilders (angle dozers). This acquisition resulted from a visit to the United States of America in May, 1937 by the Construction Engineer ( Mr. C.H. Kernot) and Assistant Civil Engineer ( Mr. J.F. Douglas) where they saw this relatively new type of equipment in use. With the co-operation of the CRB, the Commission demonstrated the operation of these machines at Fishermen's Bend on 6th April, 1938. They were then sent to Kiewa where they commenced operation towards the end of the month. From South Tawonga, the route let immediately across the Western Branch of the Kiewa River necessitating the construction of a bridge 100 feet long. By the end of 1939, the excavation had been 'opened up' for a distance of 19 1/2 miles (approx. 31 km.) and of this length, 10 miles (approx. 16 km.) had been surfaced. (see KVHS 0328)The purchase of this type of mechanical equipment in road making was a huge investment, as prior to this most of the work would have been done manually with the use of picks and shovels. Not only were many months of hard manual labour saved, but a very significant amount of time in providing access to the proposed work sites for the new Kiewa Hydro Scheme. This photo is an excellent reminder of how primitive the early machinery was compared to the present but also represents the forward thinking of the State Electricity Commissions engineers in purchasing such innovative equipment.A black and white photograph of road making near Mt.
