This metal and enamel sign is believed to have hung outside the Myrtleford Forest District Office.
It includes directions to the Ovens Nursery, Office and Residence
Phone numbers, radio call signs (VL30V) and office hours are included
It also makes reference to hardwood and softwoods
In 1956, the new Chairman of the Forests Commission, A V Galbraith, introduced a major restructure of the organisation to create 56 Forest Districts.
The process included amalgamating the plantations and hardwood divisions, which had been separate and rival entities up to that time.
Things remained largely unchanged for the next three decades until the early 1980s.
