Tool - Drum Carder, Kacoonda, c.1980

The carder allowed Gill to spin ...This drum carder was purchase by Gill Stange at the Whittlesea Show in the late 1980s. The carder allowed Gill to spin fleece from her own Merino sheep. Merino is a difficult wool to spin when compared to other popular varieties, such as Corriedale or crossbred wool. The carder helped her to tease out the fleece, slightly separating the fibres before spinning. It also allowed for easier removal of foreign matters, such as seeds and mud. Little is known about the Kacoonda brand who produced the carder. They were Australian based and appear to have only operated throughout the 1980s.The carder has one large central roller with two smaller rollers on either side. The larger roller rotates in the inverse direction of the two smaller rollers. The carding cloth is a mint green in which closely spaced wire pins are embedded. The shape, length, diameter, and spacing of these wire pins is that of a standard carder. On one side of the carder a handle is found that is used to spin the three rollers. Additionally on this side is a sticker which reads “The Kacoonda Carder. Subject to Patent Action”. A Silver grip for the easy movement of the carder can also be found high on this side. On the opposite side of the carder, many nuts and plates can be found which hold the rollers in place. This is opposed to the other side of the carder, which has a brown plastic cover plate attached underneath the handle. The walls providing a path for the carded wool to follow when being carded, are made of wood. The carder comes complete with a teasing tool. This tool has the same mint green carding cloth as the carder’s rollers. It is attached to a simple wood handle for ease of use.Wording, green, printed. Sticker on side of carder. “The Kacoonda Carder / SUBJECT TO PATENT ACTION”whittlesea show, drum carder, textile production, carding wool, kacoonda -

Hehr's Pine Park farm with its ...HEHR Jacob and Magdalena Christian Hehr and his wife Dorothea and several children arrived in Australia from Wurtemburg, Germany in 1856. The Hehr's were living in Brunswick in 1860 when Christian was naturalised but they purchased 76 acres at Wollert in 1866 and established a dairy farm. On Christian's death in 1892 aged 85, the property passed to a son Jacob. here Jacob and his wife Magdalena raised a family of seven boys. Walter, the youngest died of influenza in 1904 aged six, however the other boys all grew up to either farm at Pine Park, as the property became known, or purchase dairy farms nearby. Two sons, Henry and Ernie, were particularly interested in the breeding of Clydesdale horses and for many years were very successful in their classes at the Whittlesea Show. Hehr's Pine Park farm with its bluestone farmhouse, milking shed, stables and dry-stone walls still survives. It is considered to be historically significant on a regional level and architecturally significant on a State level for the remarkable intactness of the dairy and horse breeding structures.

In 2018 GHS members visited Turner's Bakery in Mernda for lunch and continued on to visit historic sites remaining in the Mernda area. This photograph shows remnants of the Mernda Market, established in 1919 as a livestock market. It was sited on Plenty Road in the carpark of the Bridge Inn Hotel. It evolved into a weekend 'trash and treasure' market although livestock auctions still took place on Mondays. In 2012 the livestock auctions moved to Whittlesea Showgrounds.Mernda is an area of rapid modern growth with a few remaining historic buildings dating from the 19th century.Digital copy of colour photographsmernda, mernda historic sites, mernda market, plenty road mernda, livestock auctions, trash and treasure markets -
