John O'Loughlin was born in 1922 in Warracknabeal, Victoria and moved to Beechworth in February 1969. Following a brief time working in the real estate business, John gained employment as a prison officer at Beechworth Gaol. The gaol had initially closed its doors in 1918 but was reopened after the completion of alterations in 1926 as a reformatory prison for habitual male criminals. In his new role, John was able to pursue management in the farming industry, taking trusted prisoners out to a farm on the Wodonga side of Beechworth to work the land. This area was known as The Rockery, a grazing property of two-hundred and eighty acres about two miles north of Beechworth. This work done by the prisoners included timber cutting, land maintenance and the grazing of livestock, mainly Black Poll cattle. The programme was an instrumental component of prisoner rehabilitation, allowing freedom and responsibility. When he retired from his work in 1987, John observed that many improvements had been made towards the living conditions and daily life of the prisoners. This oral history recording was part of a project conducted by Jennifer Williams in the year 2000 to capture the everyday life and struggles in Beechworth during the twentieth century. This project involved recording seventy oral histories on cassette tapes of local Beechworth residents which were then published in a book titled: Listen to what they say: voices of twentieth century Beechworth. The cassette tapes were digitised in July 2021 with funds made available by the Friends of the Burke. John O'Loughlin's account of his life in Beechworth and the local area during the twentieth century is historically and socially significant to the cultural heritage of the region. He details important information surrounding Beechworth Gaol and the daily life of its prisoners; it is a place that still holds significance for the residents of Beechworth today. This oral history account is socially and historically significant as it is part of a broader collection of interviews conducted by Jennifer Williams which were published in the book 'Listen to what they say: voices of twentieth century Beechworth'. While the township of Beechworth is known for its history as a gold rush town, these accounts provide a unique insight into the day-to-day life of the town's residents during the twentieth century, much of which would have been lost if they had not been preserved. This is a digital copy of a recording that was originally captured on a cassette tape. The cassette tape is black with a horizontal white stripe and is currently stored in a clear flat rectangular plastic container. It holds up to forty minutes of recording on each side.

Single A4 page summary of the house and land prepared for real estate purposes by un-named author, undated, circa 1990s.The History Of 18 Vista Avenue, Ringwood East The Land The current block located at 18 Vista Avenue was originally part of an 80 acre block granted to R Blood on 12 March 1872. A Wallace Bruce subsequently sold off a portion of this land and on it the Davies family erected the house "Reaghill" shortly after 1909. A 35 acre parcel of this original block was subdivided into 22 lots in June 1955. The subdivision consisted of 15 lots from 1½ and 2½ acres and seven smaller blocks of about ½ acre fronting Bedford Road. The 18 Vista Avenue block, then just over 2 acres was purchased by Mr Campbell Boyd, a local pharmacist, in 1956. The purchase price was £1000. Mr Boyd became sick not long after acquiring the land and offered the property, then a bush block, to Dr Arthur G Stephens. Dr Stephens purchased the block for £2,500 in 1959. The block was not immediately built on. Dr and Mrs Stephens said they were not able to afford a new building on the Vista Avenue block at the time, so relocated their house from 302 Maroondah Highway, near the current site of the Maroondah City Council, to the current location on the block. The garden design was created by Gloria Parker from Park Orchards and included a variety of roses and unusual species of plants. The House The house which was built in 1959, was successfully moved in two pieces in 1972, from Maroondah Highway, under the railway crossing at Ringwood East and up Scenic Avenue. The route through the railway crossing on Dublin Road required the removal of the top four feet of roof from the building so it would fit under the overhead wires. The building was cut along the entrance hall and when put together the join was barely perceptible. The saw cuts on each side of the house when rejoined, were said to have matched exactly. There were originally two brick fireplaces in the house, one in the lounge (an Adams design) and the second in the library. The library fireplace was not reconstructed after the house was relocated. The bricks and bluestone slabs, which form a substantial part of the structure of the formal garden around the house, were salvaged from the demolition of the Burnt Bridge Hotel. Dr Stephens bought 32 truckloads of uncleaned bricks from the demolition contractor for $1 per load. Presumably the demolition contractor had already been paid to demolish, remove and dump the building rubble by the developer of the Burnt Bridge shopping centre and now was able to on-sell the bricks without the cost of disposal. These bricks make up the first three feet of the brick wall which encompasses the secret garden. This wall originally marked the start of a terraced area which extended back to the Vista Avenue road frontage. The large bluestone slabs making up most of the steps in the garden were the door steps on the old hotel and the large square roughmade bricks were originally the foundation stones for the stumps of the Burnt Bridge building. The terraced area and land to the south of the tennis court (the current 16A to 16E Vista Avenue) was sold off to Bovis Homes after the nine year covenant expried on the land.

Six-pages of historic notes tracing the property "Reaghill", originally located at 139 Bedford Road, Ringwood East, before being subdivided with frontage to Vista Avenue, Ringwood East.The purpose of these notes is to trace the origins of the property from the year 1900 to the present day. Information in the notes is sourced from the archives of Carter Real Estate, from Land Titles Office records, and from the book of the history of Ringwood - "Ringwood, Place of Many Eagles" by Hugh Anderson. "Reaghill" is part of an older larger holding of sixty acres. It is the story of those 60 acres, which now comprise Vista Avenue, Vista Court, Homebush Court, Rawson Court and Wombalano Park, which is the subject of these notes.
