Historical information
Both photographers were concerned about heritage places soon to be demolished or altered. Printing of the postcards was paid for by Port Melbourne Council.
Front Channel Beacon, Port Melbourne, was constructed in 1924 and, with its land-based twin, has marked the course for ships headed up the Hobsons Bay channel to the Port Melbourne piers.
