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 south west Victoria to spread the 'strong bones, healthy joints' message to regional areas. This initiative was made possible through a partnership with the Moyne Shire Council and Moyne Health Services. This photo depicts an unidentified woman staffing AV's Healthy Bones Bus information stall at an ACME Field Day.

Physical description

COL photo of a woman standing behind a rectangular table in front of a large van. 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. The woman is affixing a display label to the top of a milk carton. 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 inside edge of the van door is a long vertical banner with the text and logo for the Moyne Shire. Behind the woman, there is a large "Moyne Health Services" banner attached to the ballustrade on the side of the van. In the foreground, to the left of the frame, there are some metal steps with a ballustrade. In the background, some market stall tents and marquees are evident, with tables and deck chairs underneath them.
