Sunshine Cabinet Works began in 1920 under Scottish cabinetmaker George Mochrie, grew into one of Sunshine’s major post‑WWI industries, survived a devastating 1923 fire, expanded across multiple sites in Devonshire Road, and by the 1960s operated a huge factory on Ballarat Road employing over 200 people. The factory closed later in the 20th century, with the Ballarat Road buildings now repurposed.Example of a label that was attached to the rear of cabinet.Put a little Sunshine in every home Sunshine Cabinet Works Pty Ltd 22 Devonshire Road Sunshine W20 (Map 31, E-11) Manufacturers of Sunshine Kitchen Cabinets Trade Only, Suppled - Phone MM1225sunshine cabinet works, devonshire road, sunshine

Considered the best of the early mud-brick houses built by Alistair Knox. Covered under Heritage Overlay, Nillumbik Planning Scheme. Published: Nillumbik Now and Then /​ Marguerite Marshall 2008; photographs Alan King with Marguerite Marshall.; p143 The Busst house hidden by trees at the corner of Silver Street and Kerrie Crescent is considered the best of the early mud-brick houses built by Eltham architect, Alistair Knox. Knox himself said, that the Busst house was the most mature mud-brick house designed at that period. ‘It related with true understanding to its steep site and expressed the flexibility of earth building ………to develop a new sense of flowing form and shape’. Built in 1948 for artist Phyl Busst, a former art student at Montsalvat, the house helped usher in Eltham Shire’s distinctive mud-brick residential character. Knox was the pivotal figure of the style developed from the 1950s to the 1970s. Scarcity of building materials after World War Two encouraged mud-brick building because earth was a cheap and plentiful building medium. But when Knox began building in mud-brick in 1947, no council in Victoria knew anything of this ancient art and he needed a permit. Fortunately the Commonwealth Experimental Building Station at Ryde in NSW, had been experimenting with earth construction to help overcome the shortages of that time. They published a pamphlet that became available in Melbourne on the same day the Eltham Council was to consider whether the earth building should be allowed. Knox caught one of the three morning trains to the city in those days and bought several copies of the pamphlet to give to each councillor. On his return he found the councillors standing on the steps of the shire offices after lunch at the local hotel. He heard that earth building had been discussed before lunch and that they were not in favor of it. Knox gave each councillor a pamphlet. They passed that plan and by doing so, opened the door for all future earth building in Victoria and by default, in Australia. Mud-brick houses attracted artists to Eltham, for their aesthetic appeal and because they were cheap. Those who built their own houses, included film maker Tim Burstall, artists Peter Glass, Clifton Pugh, Matcham Skipper, Sonia Skipper and husband Jo Hannan. For Knox, mud-brick building was more than just a cheap building medium. He saw it as harmonising with the surrounding bush and as a way of counteracting the growing materialism of the age. He wrote of its impact on ‘ 20th century man. It should counteract the confusion that the perpetual flow of high technology products have upon him ..’ Building the Busst house on a steep site was difficult because most earth-moving equipment was then in its infancy. For instance drilling for explosives was done by hand, which was a slow and painful process. Knox, assisted by his foreman Horrie Judd and Gordon Ford (who was to become a famous landscape designer), built two large main rooms - a living room/ kitchen downstairs - and upstairs, a studio/bedroom. The studio/bedroom opens onto the balcony, which covers the living area. The bath made of solid concrete by stonemason Jack Fabro, is particularly deep. Sunshine pours through the three French windows of the north-east facing kitchen/living area, which is lined with timber. The large hearth can fit a family around the fire while the timber floors and solomite (compressed straw) ceilings add to the cosy atmosphere. The garden is thick with trees, and in the late 1990s, Ford put in a pool near the original dry wall he had built as a young man.This collection of almost 130 photos about places and people within the Shire of Nillumbik, an urban and rural municipality in Melbourne's north, contributes to an understanding of the history of the Shire. Published in 2008 immediately prior to the Black Saturday bushfires of February 7, 2009, it documents sites that were impacted, and in some cases destroyed by the fires. It includes photographs taken especially for the publication, creating a unique time capsule representing the Shire in the early 21st century. It remains the most recent comprehenesive publication devoted to the Shire's history connecting local residents to the past. nillumbik now and then (marshall-king) collection, alistair knox, alistair knox design, busst house, kerrie crescent, mudbrick construction, mudbrick houses, silver street

This list of factories in the City of Sunshine is an extract from a report by K.G. Wilson, L.R. Dryer & R.A. Scaramella, prepared for the Melbourne Western Region Commission (WRC). The Melbourne Western Region Commission was a major inter‑municipal planning and advocacy body operating across Melbourne’s western suburbs in the late 1970s and 1980s. It coordinated planning, heritage studies, and regional development across multiple councils. The Commission brought together a broad sweep of western-region councils City of Altona, City of Essendon, City of Footscray, City of Keilor, City of Sunshine, City of Williamstown, Shire of Bacchus Marsh, Shire of Melton & Shire of Werribee. The Melbourne Western Region Commission was one of the most important institutional predecessors to the region’s later heritage, planning, and community‑development frameworks.This report records the business name, type of industry and address of businesses operating in the City of Sunshine in 1984.Factory Name or Occupier A.

This key was the front door key to the house at 93 Anderson Road Sunshine. The donor's letter provides an insight to the history of the house and its occupants. Metal key and letter from the donor with details about the houseNote from the donor. Dear Alan, I'm sorry to say I cannot find my photos of 93 Anderson Rad Sunshine. My husband and I travelled a lot, so they've either disappeared on one of our moves or my brother may have them, he is going to have a look. As to "93", 3-bedroom, lounge room, kitchen / dining room with a woodstove, scullery with a gas stove, laundry, bathroom, and a small back porch. My father eventually built an enclosed back verandah right across the back of the house which had the benefit of bringing the toilet undercover, wonderful. The house was taken by council in the early 70's, to make way for a road through to the old council yards, which was being developed for housing. It was sad because Dad had always kept it in good repair, so there was no need for it to go as there were others in not such a good condition. I loved that house, lots of great memories growing up in Sunshine, but Perth has been our home for many years now. No 93 was bought my grandfather, don't know what date, and my father & mother and baby brother lived there with is sister and husband, their daughter and baby son (Irene & Jack Evans). Uncle Jack was a gardener at Sunshine Gardens. Dad worked first at H.V. McKays and then was a man powered to ICI at Deer Park in the black powder plant during the war. After the war we was transferred into the acid plant. He spent the rest of his working life at ICI. anderson road, sunshine, robert garnet boyd

Sunshine Cabinet Works began in 1920 under Scottish cabinetmaker George Mochrie, grew into one of Sunshine’s major post‑WWI industries, survived a devastating 1923 fire, expanded across multiple sites in Devonshire Road, and by the 1960s operated a huge factory on Ballarat Road employing over 200 people. These cabinets were sold to trade only buyers. The factory closed later in the 20th century, with the Ballarat Road buildings now repurposed.These style of kitchen cabinets were used in many commission housing projects.sunshine cabinet works, ballarat road, sunshine

The Sunshine City Club was established on the 20th September 1956 as the Sunshine Business Men's Club by a group of the district's businessmen including Eugene Thomas "Kinder" Smith, Oscar McKay, Clarence Gibson Carlton, Albert Edward Bolt and William Dinnell. The original clubhouse located at 24 Talmage Street Albion, was a former private residence of David Buchan Ferguson, the Managing Director of the Sunshine Harvester Works / H.V. McKay Massey Harris Pty Ltd. The house was converted into a club room, bar, kitchen and billiard room with a lawn bowls green being established in the early 1960s. In 1975 the rear of the residence was demolished and replaced with new club rooms, bar, kitchen, toilets and change facilities. Club access was restricted to members and guests only. Then in April 1968 the club was registered as The Sunshine City Club, and in the 1980s members formed a Darts Club and a Social Golf Club. Also, in this period the club was given the opportunity to purchase Number 22 Talmage Street which enabled the club to extend its car parking area.​ The early 1980s saw the introduction of ladies as members and they formed a Ladies Bowls Club and entered into the VLBA Pennant Competition; this required some more upgrading of the clubrooms and the installation of proper ladies' facilities. Also, the kitchen was refitted out with new equipment, club flat was renovated into a dining / function room and bar, and the number 2 bowls green was constructed which required the club to place Number 22 and 24 Talmage Street Albion onto the one title. The mid 1980s saw the introduction of Legalised Gaming Machines into Victoria and the club made an application and was granted a Gaming Venue License in 1997.5649 - Talmage St Albion - Sunshine Business Man's Club House.jpgtalmage street, albion, sunshine businessmen's club, eugene thomas "kinder" smith, oscar mckay, clarence gibson carlton, albert edward bolt, william dinnell, david buchan ferguson

The Sunshine RSL Memorial Bowling Club emerged as the bowls arm of the Sunshine Returned Services League, functioning as a social, recreational, and commemorative space for veterans and the wider community. It developed separately from the older Sunshine Bowling Club and became a long‑standing post‑war community institution in its own right. The Sunshine RSL fire was a major incident that occurred in the early hours of Thursday, 5 March 2026, causing extensive damage to one of Sunshine’s key community institutions. Firefighters were called to the Dickson Street premises at 5:14am and found the rear section, the kitchen and bowling club room fully ablaze. The blaze was brought under control by 6:37am. The kitchen, bowling room and poker room were destroyed and minor heat and debris damaged to the bowling greens. Some bowling memorabilia was lost, though most military memorabilia were not stored in the affected area. A few days later, ABC News reported that investigators determined the fire was caused by spontaneous combustion in a clothes dryer, even though the dryer was not operating at the time.The effects of the fire to the Sunshine community were emotional, social, cultural, and practical. The club was a key meeting point for hundreds of people.5351.01 - Sunshine RSL Fire 5th March 2026 Photo 01.jpg 5351.02 - Sunshine RSL Fire 5th March 2026 Photo 02.jpg 5351.03 - Sunshine RSL Fire 5th March 2026 Photo 03.jpg 5351.04 - Sunshine RSL Fire 5th March 2026 Photo 04.jpg 5351.05 - Sunshine RSL Fire 5th March 2026 Photo 05.jpg 5351.06 - Sunshine RSL Fire 5th March 2026 Photo 06.jpg 5351.07 - Sunshine RSL Fire 5th March 2026 Photo 07.jpg 5351.08 - Sunshine RSL Fire 5th March 2026 Photo 08.jpg 5351.09 - Sunshine RSL Fire 5th March 2026 Photo 09.jpg 5351.10 - Sunshine RSL Fire 5th March 2026 Photo 10.jpg 5351.11 - Sunshine RSL Fire 5th March 2026 Photo 11.jpg 5351.12 - Sunshine RSL Fire 5th March 2026 Photo 12.jpg 5351.13 - Sunshine RSL Fire 5th March 2026 Photo 13.jpg 5351.14 - Sunshine RSL Fire 5th March 2026 Photo 14.jpg 5351.15 - Sunshine RSL Fire 5th March 2026 Photo 15.jpg 5351.16 - Sunshine RSL Fire 5th March 2026 Photo 16.jpg 5351.17 - Sunshine RSL Fire 5th March 2026 Photo 17.jpg 5351.18 - Sunshine RSL Fire 5th March 2026 Photo 18.jpg 5351.19 - Sunshine RSL Fire 5th March 2026 Photo 19.jpg 5351.20 - Sunshine RSL Fire 5th March 2026 Photo 20.jpg 5351.21 - Sunshine RSL Fire 5th March 2026 Photo 22.jpg 5351.22 - Sunshine RSL Fire 5th March 2026 - Greens Were Not Damaged Photo 22.jpg 5351.23 - Sunshine RSL Fire 5th March 2026 - Greens Were Not Damaged Photo 23.jpg 5351.24 - Sunshine RSL Fire 5th March 2026 Photo 24 - Meeting With Keilor RSL To Discuss Way Forward After Fire.jpg 5351.25 - Sunshine RSL Fire 5th March 2026 Photo 25 - Site Cleared 1st April 2026.jpg 5351.26 - Sunshine RSL Fire 5th March 2026 Photo 26 - Site Update 9th April 2026.jpg 5351.27 - Sunshine RSL Fire 5th March 2026 Photo 27 - Site Update 9th April 2026.jpg 5351.28 - Sunshine RSL Fire 5th March 2026 Photo 27 - Site Update 26th May 2026.jpg 5351.29 - Sunshine RSL Fire 5th March 2026 Photo 27 - Site Update 29th May 2026.jpgsunshine r.s.l., dickson street, sunshine, sunshine rsl
