24.01.2022 Awesome day out with Yarkuwa Knowledge centre in Deniliquin today. Baskets weaved from this area were highly sought after and traded with nations across Australia. Really great dance workshop and thanks to @creatensw for helping to make this happen. #yesterdaystories #yourpastisyourpresent

23.01.2022 Some of our Indigenous sacred places contain artworks that are 5000 years old. You can't even get that in a musuem! History is amazing! #YourPastisYourPresent #YesterdayStories #FNPW

23.01.2022 Do you know about the Illawarra escarpment's Whale cave? "I'm just so happy that it's still there," Aboriginal education officer Carol Speechley says in this video by Yesterday Stories. Take a look at the X-ray art inside the sacred Aboriginal site ...

23.01.2022 We have been so touched by the events unfolding with the Ruby Princess in Port Kembla. The way the Illawarra has responded to helping those in need is steeped in history. We are letting everyone watch the film The Dalfram Dispute 1938 for free to better understand a significant history that took place on the Port of Port Kembla in 1938 so we know where that stems from. Proud to be based and living in the Illawarra. #RubyPrincess #PigIronBob #portKembla Just follow the code https://vimeo.com/r/2DQ6/MHRJWmdERm

22.01.2022 A snippet of home life of a mining family in the 1930s.

22.01.2022 We filmed an historic day! The Jerrinja people on the south coast of NSW made a traditional canoe by hand. Elders remember their great grand parents doing this and the skills and knowledge have now been introduced by Luke Russell from Worramai. Their cultural knowledge was denied, discouraged and illegal. The Jervis Bay Maritime Museum deserves recognition for putting this project together (and funding from Bendigo Bank) and the canoe will be on display there. It was a 14 hr day and we were buggered so can only imagine the men. But it was also an emotional day and we were truly honoured to witness it. The shrieks of the kids when the canoe went in the water was in itself worth the effort #jerrinja #jervisbaymaritimemuseum #yourpastisyourpresent #yesterdaystories

22.01.2022 This year, History Week has morphed into History Month! For the whole of October, we'll be celebrating all things History. Due to the current COIVD-19 situation..., most activities will be held online - which will actually be great for getting to multiple events in a day, without having to battle traffic! You can 'travel' to regional Victoria to see what other Historical Societies have been up to without leaving your lounge room! We're going to see lots of events and talks for people to listen into, and lots of workshops for people to participate in. For all the details, head along to our website https://historymonth.org.au/ And if you have any queries or wish to list event, you can email [email protected]

21.01.2022 In 1816 under the command of various military leaders three detachments were dispatched by Governor Macquarie to `inflict terrible and exemplary punishments` on... the Aborigines of the Appin area. Early in the morning of 17 April 1816 the military’s leader for the Appin area Captain Wallis and a number of his men came across a Dharawal men’s camp. They slaughtered the men who were mostly elders, cut off their heads and took them back to Sydney. While Captain Wallis returned to Sydney the remaining men hunted down the local Aboriginal clan (Dharawal people). They found the camp where the women and children were staying. They shot and trampled them under their horses and drove them over the cliffs at Broughton Pass.

20.01.2022 Why history is important to remember. Stay safe everyone, stay home this Easter.

20.01.2022 Sometimes life has a way of making things come full circle. In this WWII story, Geoff says the best thing about war was when it was all over. #LestWeForget #AnzacDay #LostWollongong #yourpastisyourpresent #yesterdaystories #shellharbourcitycouncil #museumsandgalleries #WarillaRSL

20.01.2022 Last week of 6 week filmmaking course across Camden and Picton LGA! 10 more video histories collected and will be available soon across Indigenous, colonial, built heritage and personal stories. Thank you to all the trainers, mentors, emerging filmmakers and students. Special thanks Crown Resort foundation, Documentary Australia foundation, Camden Council, Wollondilly council.

17.01.2022 The Owen Gun was much praised by the men who used them, with one man saying he slept with it under his pillow, it was used in WWII and is largely credited for holding back enemy troops as the gun overcame the issues that occurred when operating in mud and water. It was an invention by Eveyln Owen who lived in the Illawarra. Everyone should know the history of their local communities and we need to pass them on for students and the next generations. Please like and share our page for more stories. #yesterdaystories #lostwollongong #AustralianHistory #WollongongHistory #yourpastisyourpresent #owengun #museumsandgalleries #shellharbourcitycouncil

03.01.2022 The First and Last was the Inn in Circular Quay where men in the Navy had their last drink before they left the port and the first drink when they returned. It's also a wonderful WWII love story between Norm and Jean, despite the fact Norm didn't write, their love continued.
