'Weekend Australian. / Nov. 1993' [blue ink, top right]...[Weekend Australian]...Nurses battle nightmare conditions Newspaper Newspaper clipping [Weekend Australian] ...Book review of "Guns and brooches: Australian Army Nursing from the Boer War to the Gulf War" by Jan Bassett Australia's army nurses were often in the line of fire during World War 1, working at the front in atrocious conditions. About 2300 members of the Australian Army Nursing Service (AANS) were the only women to serve overseas in an official capacity with the Australian Imperial Forces (AIF). They nursed in hospitals in Egypt, Greece, England, France, Italy and Belgium. They were all qualified nurses and virtually all were single or widowed, between twenty-five and forty years old. The nurses were subject to clumsy attempts to impose military way upon them, such as having a group of nurses from No. 3 Australian General Hospital (AGH), wearing ankle-length dresses and bonnets, led by a piper, marching several kilometres to their hospital site on the island of Lemnos, Greece. Only to find hundreds of sick and wounded patients from Gallipoli lying on the ground waiting for them, but no equipment.A large newspaper clipping consisting of a title, six columns of text and a black and white photo of a woman in the winter nurse's uniform of the AIF.'Weekend Australian. / Nov. 1993' [blue ink, top right]wwii, world war two, ww2, wwi, ww1, world war one, korea, vietnam, pacific war, evelyn davies, alice davies, healesville, armistice, salonika, luna park, cairo, melbourne, nellie gould, jane bell, evelyn conyers, no. 1 agh, lemnos, spanish influenza, india, british, peshawar, carrel-dakin method, abbeville, ag butler, hardelot, mimie proctor, no. 2 australian casualty clearing station, messines, elsie tranter, accs, alice ross king, alice ross-king, university of melbourne -

Frederick Charles “Fred” Griffith was born in Albury, NSW on 2 March 1910. Educated in Albury and Geelong Grammar. Beginning in 1927 he spent many years working first as a jackeroo and on a range of prominent pastoral and merino stud properties in NSW and Queensland. In 1935 he repurchased his former family property “Toonallook", Bowna, NSW and developed it to be the largest Romney Marsh stud in the world, exporting rams to Argentina. He introduced many innovative practices on his property including rabbit control measures and aerial crop dusting. He was an active member of the Albury Show Society and in 1949 established the Albury Sheep Show. Fred was also the Albury representative on the Graziers’ Association Council for over 30 years. He became a life member of both the Albury and Commercial Clubs. Fred’s greatest hobby was snow skiing. His first visit to the snow was to Kosciusko in 1919. The Albury Ski Club was formed in 1935 and Fred was an inaugural member. In 1949 they were granted a site at Falls Creek to build their own lodge. Fred guaranteed the Club for finance from the Bank of NSW. The first portion of the prefabricated building was constructed in Albury. It was transported to Falls Creek on the back of Fred’s truck and erected in one day. This was the bathroom section and the rest was completed in 1950. The original lodge was burned down in 1952 and a new one built the following year. In 1955, Fred also built the Bowna Lodge for his family in partnership with David Fairbairn. He became head of the North Eastern District Skiing Association (N.E.D.S.A.) and successfully applied to run the Australian Ski Championships. Fred also inaugurated children’s races at Falls Creek and ran them for about 20 years. He also formed the company “Falls Creek Ski Tows”. In 1956 Fred along with a group of key people selected the site for Thredbo Village. Fred and his brother sold Toonallook in sections between 1951 and 1974. He moved to Albury and set up as a landscape gardener and fencing contractor. After a serious work accident, Fred retired in 1985 and moved to Rosebud, Victoria where he died on 19 August 1992.These images record a group of skiers at the hut on the King's Birthday weekend 1950.A set of black and white photographs showing steps in the construction of a bridge at Falls Creek on the King's Birthday weekend 05/06/1950fred griffith, falls creek -

King's Birthday Weekend 1936 on the High Plains Photograph King's Birthday Weekend 1936 on the High Plains ...MEYER COLLECTION - FALLS CREEK PHOTOS In 1947 a determined group of like-minded State Electricity Commission (SEC) staff including Ray Meyer, the chief surveyor of the Kiewa Hydro-Electric Scheme, had a common interest that revolved around the skiing potential of the snow-covered high plains which included what is now the resort of Falls Creek. The six SEC employees, Toni St Elmo, Ray Meyer, Jack Minogue, Lloyd Dunn, Adrian Ruffenacht and Dave Gibson (together with their families) banded together to secretly build a 'hut' that was the first ski lodge at Falls Creek. Using a road built in 1930s to gain access to Falls Creek, their hut project was carried out in secret as efforts by other skiers were blocked by H.H.C. Williams – the engineer in charge of the Hydro Scheme. In 1946 Ray Meyer made a trip to the Lands Office in Melbourne. He came away with a 99-year lease on three acres that was ideally suited for a hut designed by Lloyd Dunn. Adrian Ruffenacht (Design Engineer for the KHS) had suggested where the group should build because of easy access to a spring for water. Much of the building material required was scavenged from derelict huts on the high plains. Due to the need for secrecy, the determined group worked on the hut in the evenings and weekends to avoid detection. During the building period the group had met at Echidna Rock (now known as Eagle Rock) where Skippy St Elmo announced, "This is my favourite ‘Skyline’.” And so the first lodge in the area at Falls Creek Ski Resort came into existence. With the development of the International Poma in the 1970s, the Skyline Lodge, which was sited between the ski-lift’s pole one and pole two, was demolished. However, the legacy of Ray Meyer, Toni St Elmo, Jack Minogue, Lloyd Dunn, Adrian Ruffenacht and Dave Gibson and Skyline lives on in the vibrant atmosphere of Falls Creek Resort. The MEYER COLLECTION documents developments on the Kiewa Hydro Scheme and their life at Falls Creek from the mid 1930s to 1960s.This image is significant because it depicts aspects of the life of a pioneering family of Falls Creek and the founders of "Skyline", the first lodge at Falls Creek.Three images taken on the King's Birthday weekend in 1936. Kelly's Hut and stockyards were built by Patrick J Kelly in 1901.
