Historical information

Recollections of, and photographs from the community newspaper which circulated in the Shire of Eltham and Shire of Diamond Valley in 1978-1979, including people closely associated with its production, including Col Hockley, Glenn Milne, Susan Webster, Phil Taylor, Don Neil, Sharin Anderson, Ross Elms, Les Schintler, Robert White, Robert Marshall, Bill McAuley and Ian Faulks.

Significance

This publication is significant to the local community (residents of the Shire of Nillumbik) as it connects them to the past and to a particular era in Eltham's history covering a breadth of content which reflected the nature of the Diamond Valley and the culture at the time. The community newspaper provided an alternative view during an era when newspapers still dominated and played a significant role in the sharing of local information.
