The Alpine regions accumulate high levels of potential fuel (undergrowth and small shrubs) which if not reduced has the potential of breaking into a dangerous bush fire. The men in this photograph are not wearing any protective clothing. Their visibility to other firefighters is severely reduced by smoke. This photo is a snap shot in time when Occupational Health and Safety Legislation was in its infancy stage.This photograph details the fire prevention activities in the Victorian Alps under the management of the SEC Victoria. The level of undergrowth within the Australian bush needs to be kept under control to avoid the possibility of lightning strikes (during summer storms) igniting dry forests resulting in a major bush fire. Controlled fires within alpine regions are required not only to reduce the level of dry undergrowth but also to provide those various plant species requiring fire for regenerate. This method was used by the original inhabitants (Aborigines) as limited scrub fires were used to flush game and bird population for eating with the side benefit to those plants requiring the fire for regeneration.This black and white photograph shows an Alpine Fire Prevention technique of "burning off" low levels of scrub.

The band’s task was to record music to play on air four times a week, and to perform live concerts for the public. By November 1933 a band was put together with 40 musicians from around Australia. The band was initially conducted by Captain H. E. Adkins, Director of the Royal Military School of Music, Kneller Hall, London. After the tour, Adkins returned to his position at Kneller Hall, and Stephen Yorke, a retired bandmaster of the Gloucestershire Regiment, was brought out to Australia to become the permanent director and conductor of the band, which he did until the band closed in 1951. During the band’s 17 year history they presented a sizable program of music. Their final concert received a standing ovation from its audience of 1500, with a teary-eyed Yorke. 20 parts Concert Band Instrumentation Quick March Key Signature: Eb Major Instrumentation: Solo or 1st Bb Cornet (Conductor handwritten at the top) Piccolo (Db handwritten) Eb Clarinet 1st Bb Clarinet 2nd Bb Clarinet 3rd Bb Clarinet Bassoon 1st & 2nd Eb Altos (crossed out and Horns) 3rd & 4th Eb Altos Eb Cornet 1st Bb Cornet (solo scrubbed out) 2nd & 3rd Bb Cornets 1st & 2nd Trombones 3rd Trombone 1st & 2nd Trombones (Treble Clef) 3rd Trombone (Treble Clef) Baritone (scrubbed out and written Euphonium) Baritone (treble clef) On envelope: QM137, March National Emblem Bagley, Q122, scrubbed out 396 4 Apr 1940, 8 Sep 1941, 14 Apr 1942, 27 Oct 1942 (twice), 15 Nov 1943 Stamped on the reverse of each card: Australian Broadcasting Co. & The Property of Musical Director & Arranger Charles Godfreybrass band, australian broadcasting commission, marching band, concert band -
