Historical information

ACME Field Days are an expo event where exhibitors, particularly from the agricultural sector, can display and promote their products. In the early 2000s, Arthritis Victoria (AV) brought its Healthy Bones Bus to some of these events in Timboon to spread the 'strong bones, healthy joints' message to south west Victoria. This initiative was made possible through a partnership with the Moyne Shire Council. This photo depicts an unidentified man staffing AV's Healthy Bones Bus information stall at an ACME Field Day at Timboon, in south west Victoria.

Physical description

COL photo of a man standing next to a rectangular table and a deck chair, which have been set up in front of a large van. The van has a large door open on the side, displaying the text, "Osteoporosis Victoria 1800 011 041" (partially obscured). Below the text, there is a display board with some posters on it. Hanging from the edge of the van door is a long vertical banner with the text and logo for the Moyne Shire. The table is covered with a blue tablecloth. On it, there is a range of healthy food items such as cereals, various types of milk, cheeses, yoghurt, a plastic ice cream container, some canned food, and some fresh fruit. In the background, built-in cupboards, boxes and crates, and a television set affixed to the wall are evident inside the van.
