25.01.2022 Schroeder Court Or, should it be Schroder Court? "... In 1931 Bob Schroder was sent to Geelong, initially on a temporary basis to improve production, before being appointed chief chemist at the site. From 1942 to 1944 he served part time in the 6th Victorian Battalion, Volunteer Defence Corps, rising to lieutenant (November 1942)...."

18.01.2022 Virtual Tours The COVID-19 pandemic has for obvious reasons, put a damper on most peoples travel plans. Instead of eating gelato in Italy, soaking up the sun on the coast of Spain, or roaming the markets of Marrakech, the most exotic place is the other side of the couch. But even with social distancing in place, you can still experience some of the sights of an exotic foreign holiday, albeit digitally. Sure, touring world-famous attractions via a computer screen is not the same thing as seeing them in real life. However, a virtual visit can still be a great learning experience. So, grab your sunglasses and check out the virtual version of some of the worlds most famous tourist attractions. Laura Martisiute See: Green Balloon https://www.fyansford.com/momentous-times

12.01.2022 Out of sight, not quite out of mind It’s great when someone takes the time to capture an interesting photograph - more than the regular happy-snap; photos with a sense of design and appreciation of history.

09.01.2022 For those that also enjoy diversions. I love waking up some mornings after a productive nights sleep with a fully-formed idea busting through my consciousness.

05.01.2022 More Jottings by Norm Gugger Ca1988 These notes would have to be among my most exciting finds and I will be forever grateful to John Gugger for entrusting these treasures to me. I just love Norms uncomplicated say-it-as-it-is style: This mill was situated on the north east side of the Moorabool River and in the 1870s Collins Bros. purchased it with a view to converting it to a woollen mill. Unfortunately, it wasnt a viable proposition so they chose new sites on the Barwon... River, South Geelong. The old mill was later altered and became the Old Mill Hall used for socials and dances raising funds for charity and local sporting bodies.
