City of Melbourne LibrariesPhotograph, The Age (Melbourne, Vic. : 1854 - 1954), The Age, Tue 26 December 1933, 1933
... The Age, Tue 26 December 1933...The Age newspaper photography 1930-1939 christmas Digital file The Age, Tue 26 December 1933 Photograph The Age (Melbourne, Vic. : 1854 - 1954) ...The Age: Christmas 1933 weather pictorial Three photographs from the McKenzie Collection appear in this Age Boxing Day pictorial, documenting the weather conditions in Melbourne on Christmas Day, 1933. In the morning, swimmers flocked to the St Kilda foreshore to cool off during a heatwave. By five o’clock, thunder and a hailstorm were breaking over the city, leaving the streets flooded. Also featured on this page: Important visitors at the Children’s Hospital and The Nurses’ Christmas. Large scale prints of all three images feature below. Discovering this page via the digitised newspapers on Trove was a crucial step in unlocking the provenance of the slides. Published: The Age 26 December 1933, page 9 (1933, December 26). The Age (Melbourne, Vic. : 1854 - 1954), p. 9. Retrieved October 10, 2025, from http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-page19054271 Featured in "Newsworthy : Melbourne in photographs 1933-1936" exhibition held at East Melbourne Library from October to December 2023. The Newsworthy exhibition developed out of a local history digitisation project. Fifty images from a collection of 240 glass plate negatives were selected and printed at large scale for public display at East Melbourne Library. The exhibition was very well-received. The McKenzie Collection of glass plate negatives unlocks glimpses of our city not seen for almost 100 years. In the 1990s, renowned architectural photographer Ian McKenzie (1939-2014) picked up 240 glass plate negatives at a local market. Believed to be from a Victorian news archive, they dated back to the 1930s. The slides lay dormant in a dusty garage until 2020 when Ian’s wife Louise decided it was time to bring them back into the light. Louise McKenzie, and two other history-lovers, Ernie Ward and Fiona Collyer, signed up as City of Melbourne volunteers and joined forces with City of Melbourne Libraries Community Heritage Team Leader, Linda Longley and Local History Librarian, Fiona Campbell. Together, the project team has devoted more than three years to unlocking the mysteries of the collection. What began as a simple digitization exercise swiftly morphed into a wild journey of discovery and kismet. Intensive detective sessions and discussions with fellow historical networks ensued, gradually unearthing our photojournalistic history and technologies, the merits of volunteer work, and astonishing stories from 1930s Victoria. From the domestic to the dramatic, the celebratory to the solemn, these fascinating images capture a fleeting yet significant period in Interwar, Depression-era Melbourne. Above all, the McKenzie Collection project has brought about a powerful and sustained sense of engagement, connection and celebration between people across decades and places.the age newspaper, photography, 1930-1939, christmas -

... FALLS CREEK HOTEL APRES ENTERTAINMENT HARVEY HOUR TUES & THURS 3.30 PM LIVE ENTERTAINMENT...This item is significant because it depicts an important form of transport at Falls Creek, Victoria Axtrack Oversnow Vehicles Falls Creek Transport Spargo Lodge Falls Creek Hotel FALLS CREEK HOTEL APRES ENTERTAINMENT HARVEY HOUR TUES & THURS 3.30 PM LIVE ENTERTAINMENT A coloured photo of a black Axtrack oversnow vehicle decorated with red and yellow advertising. ...This vehicle, an Axtrack is located outside the Falls Creek Museum. It was built by Axel Andre who worked in Falls Creek as a mechanic for several years in the early 1970s. Axel was an engineer by trade. He built this small twin track vehicle for Ivan Spargo at the Falls Creek Hotel and then progressed to building bigger and better models. This included one for Ziggy Doer at Koki and Neville Mashford at Snowland purchased two of them. Some of these machines were also exported to America. Axel Andre later established a company Axtrack Engineering in Melbourne. There are still three of these Axtrack vehicles on the hill at Falls Creek in 2024. The vehicles were used for commercial purposes such as transporting supplies and staff around the mountain. The Spargo family from the Falls Creek Hotel used this vehicle for oversnow transport and it advertised Harvey Wallbanger Happy Hour. Ivan and Joy Spargo relocated from Melbourne to Falls Creek in 1965. They purchased a piece of leasehold land and built Spargo Lodge. This was a dorm style chalet built to accommodate large groups and families. Their son Rob Spargo met his future wife Blanche in 1967 when she was on holiday in Falls Creek. They married and purchased the site where the Falls Creek Hotel is today. The steep gradient of the site was a challenge to build on but was the best location available in the village. In 1970 Rob’s sister Leonie and her husband Glenn joined the business, and they started operating the hotel in 1972. The family played a critical role in the growth of the Falls Creek community and were involved in the foundation of Falls Creek Primary School and Falls Creek Search & Rescue. Rob was also involved in the start-up of Ski Victoria and has served as a member of the Chamber and Resort Management Board. Rob’s eldest daughter Lisa competed with the Australian Ski Team from 1985 to 1989 and has worked as a ski instructor in Australia, Austria & Colorado. In 2010 Lisa and her husband Damien Allport joined the family business and her parents retired to Tawonga South in 2014. Their children are now the fourth generation of the Spargo family living at Falls Creek enjoying the alpine lifestyle and providing outstanding hospitality. The 40 year tradition of the Harvey Wallbanger Happy Hour held on Tuesdays and Thursdays continues at Falls Creek Hotel in 2024.This item is significant because it depicts an important form of transport at Falls Creek, VictoriaA coloured photo of a black Axtrack oversnow vehicle decorated with red and yellow advertising.FALLS CREEK HOTEL APRES ENTERTAINMENT HARVEY HOUR TUES & THURS 3.30 PM LIVE ENTERTAINMENTaxtrack, oversnow vehicles, falls creek transport, spargo lodge, falls creek hotel -

... ...tue...This is one of the differences between country "rural" life and that found in cities and larger towns. blacksmith tool tue bellows fashioning metal forge manufacturing process This iron cone shaped tuyere has a small hole (diamenter 25mm) starting within an ever enlarging cone (amplification of the air pressure going through) delivering varying hot or extremely hot air into a furnace or hearth which intensifies the heat to allow the "shaping" of metal objects. ...This tuyere (word from French origin) was used by professional blacksmiths and or cattlemen before and during the Kiewa Hydro Electricity Scheme was being constructed. The need to use a furnace or forge in the shaping of metal rods, horse shoes and pipes is both a rural necessity and a construction, on site requirement. The "inventiveness" of cattlemen and construction workers to produce metal objects not available "off the shelf" is one of the inherent traits not only of rural self sufficiency but in the "pioneer" days of rural isolation one of survival.This tuyere is of great significance to the Kiewa Valley and its regions because it highlights one of the greatest strengths of the rural (especially isolated) life and its folk living there, and that is the great human factor of adaptability and survival techniques in sometimes harsh and demanding environmental circumstances. The inventiveness and the attitude, "she'll be right mate", demonstrates life on the land where specialised blacksmith activities can be found in non "professionals" because of the fact that "someone" has to do the job. This is one of the differences between country "rural" life and that found in cities and larger towns.This iron cone shaped tuyere has a small hole (diamenter 25mm) starting within an ever enlarging cone (amplification of the air pressure going through) delivering varying hot or extremely hot air into a furnace or hearth which intensifies the heat to allow the "shaping" of metal objects. The larger "flared" cone extension allows for the directed air to be spread and not concentrated.blacksmith tool, tue, bellows, fashioning metal, forge manufacturing process -
