This bus, running from Upper Ferntree Gully to Gembrook, is interesting given this route was already serviced by rail. It opened on July 7th 1930, but by 1931 was cut back to Cockatoo; it ceased operation entirely on February 14th 1941. This bus may be built on a 1929 Thornycroft chassis, which this line used two of by the time it ceased operation. Even by 1934, the line mostly only ran as far as Belgrave, with limited Cockatoo services on weekdays, one on Saturdays and none on Sundays.While relatively short-lived, the Victorian Railways motor service is part of the complex tapestry of the region's transport history.This item includes a printed black and white photograph mounted on card. The photograph is framed by green and black lines, and accompanied by annotation in marker below it. The reverse of the card has further annotation handwritten in pencil, alongside an accession number. The photograph shows a stationary bus parked on grass, with trees and a hedge behind it.

... The ship originally had three funnels. Thornycroft rebuilt her with a single funnel, plus an unusual bipod structure aft of her bridge that served as both a funnel and a mainmast. ...SS New Australia was a UK-built turbo-electric passenger steamship that had a varied career from 1931 to 1966. She was built as the ocean liner Monarch of Bermuda, was a troop ship in the Second World War and was damaged by fire in 1947. She was then refitted to carry emigrants to Australia and renamed New Australia. In 1958 she was refitted again, renamed Arkadia and served as both a transatlantic liner and a cruise ship.The ship originally had three funnels. Thornycroft rebuilt her with a single funnel, plus an unusual bipod structure aft of her bridge that served as both a funnel and a mainmast. The MoT renamed her New Australia, contracted Shaw, Savill & Albion Line to manage her and put her into service carrying UK emigrants to Australia. She plied this trade from 1950 until 1957. In September 1958 New Australia was serving as a troop ship again when she suffered slight damage in a collision with a tanker in the Torres Strait.a framed oil painting of the migrant ship MV New AustraliaNew Australiamv new australia, migrant ships
