This book, Uncle Tom's Cabin was the best selling novel in the 19th century in the USA. It was given to Alexander Ure in 1889, the son of Scottish migrants, John and Jane Ure who settled on acreage north of Gembrook in 1874. They called their property 'Silver Wells' because of finding a pure and plentiful water source when digging their initial well. Silver Wells became the commercial centre of the early Gembrook settlement with shops, post office etc. When the train came through in 1900 the Gembrook commercial centre shifted to its present location, near the railway station. The Ure family continued to play a significant role in the Gembrook community.The Ure family of 'Silver Wells' was significant in the early history of Gembrook.Moss green hard cover book with title embossed on gold panel. 326 pages.On front cover printed: 'UNCLE TOM'S CABIN' On page i handwritten: 'Alexander Ure / A Present / from Mr & Mrs Wood / Cot 3rd 1889'alexander ure, uncle tom's cabin, 1889, silver wells

In 2015 Year 1 students began a discussion about colour with the intention of experiencing the magic of mixing colours of their own and then transferring those colours onto a collaborative canvas. The class talked about how the painting was like their class community, how they had begun Prep as individuals and then as they grew their friendships they joined the empty friendship spaces and became a group. This document about the painting states: "Colour is your whole life because you can see it everywhere" "We painted in our own space on the canvas and then we filled in the gaps with colours and then it became the whole painting" "A long time ago before God there was no colour" "When we don't know what colour it's going to be it makes us feel excited and happy" "When there was no such things there was no people and no God no wind and no planets and there was no colour. When there was dinosaurs there was light" "At night the darkness goes upon all the colour in the world and then the colour goes black except one little bit on the ground when the moon shines down" "I disagree because it's not the whole world that gets dark. On one side there is colour when the other side is dark and then they swap over" "I think white is not a colour because rainbows have all the colours and if the colours are not on the rainbow they are not colours" "The whole world has colour". The original painting hangs in Principal Jeremey Stowe Lindner's office. For access to this record please contact [email protected] and performing arts, 2010s

Eric Holloway began spot milling timber at age of 17. He borrowed fifty pound from an uncle in 1934 to purchase a McCormick Deering tractor and saw bench. He went from farm to farm cutting timber for farmers. For a time, he worked on Shelley Station spot milling with WS Walker and Son. In approximately 1946 Arthur and Eric Holloway established a saw mill at Shelley. Another brother Ernie, a builder and returned soldier, worked with them from time to time. Using timber sawn in the mill he built eight basic houses for the mill workers. The brothers employed many migrants: - Yugoslav, Czechs, Russians, Ukrainians, Serbs as well as other hardworking people. This meant there were families, so Ernie also built and furnished a school at Shelley. Application was made for a teacher from the Education Department. At the Shelley mill the workers used ex-army blitzes, GM trucks (for carting logs) army ducks and a centurion tank for parts. The timber from the mill was trucked to Albury and Wodonga, customers being FA Stowe and Mates Timber. The army was also a big customer with Holloways supplying timber for the army huts that were built at Bandiana. A timber mill that had been built at Tallangatta by State Rivers and Water for the purpose of establishing New Tallangatta, was purchased by Holloway Brothers as an extension of their Shelley operation. In 1954 a new mill was built at Granite Flat on the Omeo Highway and the Shelley operation closed. Ernie Holloway was involved in the building of the mill and accommodation houses in Mitta Mitta. The mill workers travelled from Mitta to work each day. Holloways Building Supplies was established at 49 Tallangatta Rd Wodonga at this time. It was established on four house blocks with a little shed, with more land being acquired as the operation expanded. The brothers realized that it would be more profitable to set up their own timber outlet to supply their customers. Arthur Holloway continued to run the sawmills while Eric Holloway concentrated on the Wodonga business. A hardware store, offices and joinery were built as demand continued for building materials. All the timber arriving in the yard from the mill was hand sorted, providing employment for many. With the milling and timber outlets Holloways provided employment for approximately forty staff. The next generation of the Holloway family became involved. A Hyster forklift was purchased which allowed for bulk handling of the timber. Land was purchased in Sanyo Drive where timber was cleated and dried. Select grade timber, F17 dry framing, builders hardware and tools were sold. Holloways endeavoured to be a one stop shop for framing and fitting out of houses. In 1989 the business was sold to Mt Beauty Timbers who later on sold to Dahlsens. The timber mill was decommissioned. The Holloway family retained the ownership of the premises of 49 Thomas Mitchell Drive leasing to Dahlsens until that operation was moved to Albury in 2013. In 2014 the lease land was sold to two local businesses. Leigh Martin Marine purchased the parcel of land adjoining their business. Lester and Son purchased the remaining block and demolished the premises. A funeral parlour was built on that site.These photos are significant because they document the story of an important Wodonga business.A series of coloured photographs depicting aspects of Holloways Building Supplies business in Wodonga.holloways wodonga, wodonga businesses, timber industry
