Historical information

These photographs are a record of the later life of Kallista woman, Beryl Collett (1925-2018) and forms part of a large and varied range of objects and photographs relating to Beryl which is held by the Museum. These photos mainly relate to Beryl's work and the prizes she won. The Dandenongs have been the chosen home of many creative people who, like Beryl, have found inspiration in the natural beauty of the area. Much of Beryl's work was created by her following her retirement from her accountancy job in 1980 and so epitomises the potential of the retirement phase of people's lives.
