David Wadelton’s photographs capture the architecture, people and character of Darebin’s suburbs and surrounds since 1975. Wadelton’s photographs preserve the past while also documenting the slow transformation and gentrification of the inner-city suburbs. This record is collected in publications and anthologies as well as more informally on the Facebook page Northcote Hysterical Society, which Wadelton has run since 2019. In 2016, David donated a suite of 20 photographs to the Darebin Art Collection, providing a wonderful archive of Darebin’s local history. Artist Bio David Wadelton was born in 1955 in Terang, Victoria, and now lives and works in Naarm/Melbourne. He studied visual art at Preston and Phillip Institutes in Melbourne, graduating in 1976 and 1982, respectively. Since the early 1980s, he has exhibited extensively throughout Australia with regular solo exhibitions at Tolarno Galleries, Melbourne. A survey exhibition of Wadelton’s paintings and photographs, 'David Wadelton: Icons of Suburbia', was presented by McClelland Sculpture Park + Gallery in 2011. In addition to his career as a visual artist, Wadelton has made significant contributions to the field of experimental music in Australia.high street

This is a framed photograph of the men's pool at the Warrnambool Salt Water Baths. These Baths were originally built at the end of Gilles Street on the line of the present railway line in 1876 but were rebuilt in 1889 further north in Gilles Street when the railway line was opened. The water was pumped from the sea, initially by a windmill and later by a gas pump. The men's pool was 100 feet by 50 feet and the women's pool was 60 feet by 30 feet with bathing strictly segregated in the 19th century. A building nearby housed marble cubicles with hot spa baths with the water heated on the site and a caretaker's cottage completed the complex. Men's nude bathing was a feature of the early 20th century. Originally built by a local public company the Baths were taken over by the Warrnambool Council. These baths were superseded by the opening in 1961 of an Olympic Pool In Warrnambool. The site and the remaining buildings of the old sea water baths are now heritage-listed and today form part of the headquarters of the Warrnambool and District Historical Society.This photograph is of historical significance as a depiction of the Warrnambool Salt water Baths in the early 20th century. These Baths were the basis for promoting Warrnambool as a health and spa resort town in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.This is a framed black and white photograph of the men's pool at the Warrnambool Salt Water Baths. It depicts men and boys swimming in the circular pool and one male on the diving board. All these men are naked. There are other clothed males and clothed attendants wearing hats and waistcoats. The change rooms are on the right side of the photograph and there is a fence with trees behind. The photograph is mounted on cardboard with a gilt edge and is held in a wooden ridged frame behind glass. warrnambool sea water baths, sea baths, warrnambool pool, gilles street

The Orford family, a pioneer family remained continuously living and working in Eltham for 170 years from 1854 to 2024. James and Sarah Orford arrived in Sydney in 1839 aboard the ship “Orestes”; they had several children there before settling in Eltham in 1854. Three children, James Mathias, Sarah Amelia and Thomas Henry initially remained in the Eltham area. James eventually moved to Brunswick. Sarah married Arthur Butler Young and finally lived in Bunyip. Thomas who was six years old when the family arrived in 1854 remained in Eltham, married Helen Logan who died, leaving a large family. They lived in a slab hut by the Yarra at Laughing Waters and Thomas managed the Panton Park Estate, a selection owned by Magistrate Thomas Panton. Thomas’s son, Ernest Orford was born 1892 at Pitt Street, Eltham and also lived his entire life in Eltham working as a labourer, orchardist and later as a gardener and grounds keeper for Sir William Irvine, a former Chief Justice and Premier of Victoria.

W.D. Vaughan in 'Kew's Civic Century' (1960) recounts debate in Council from 1912 about the need for a swimming pool. The first step toward achieving this occurred in 1914 when Council purchased the Tramways Sheds on the corner of High and Disraeli Streets in 1914. Further adjoining land was compulsorily acquired in 1923. The final plans were accepted in 1925 and Messrs. Weavill & Keast were appointed to construct the pool at a cost of 5,418/9/-. The Municipal Baths were formally opened on 18 November 1925 by George Ramsay, Mayor of Kew. [The Kew Swimming Club was founded in the same year.] Since its opening in 1925, the Kew Baths [ie, the Kew Swimming Pool] have been redeveloped on a number of occasions, including in the 2020s. During its long and chequered history, countless children learned to swim there. Local schools also used the Municipal Baths for competitive events.Small, undated black and white snapshot of a swimmer at the Kew Swimming Pool in High Street, Kew.
