The view of Sullivan Bay, Sorrento from the cemetery for the 1803 first Victorian settlement.

Zoe and I had a day trip down to Sullivan Bay with Mum and Dad. Sullivan Bay was the site of the first white settlement in Victoria in 1803. The settlement was unsuccessful, but we had a great day out.

This is dredger number 21 at Power Works in Morwell back in 2016, with a Zoe for scale.
This was the first bucket wheel excavator to be used at the Morwell open cut. No 21 Dredger worked between October 1955 and August 1992, and was used to excavate overburden and to supply brown coal to the Yallourn power station. No. 21 Dredger is significant as an example of the first generation of German built Bucket Wheel Excavators used by the SECV. The design originated in German brown coal mines in the mid-1930s. No. 21 Dredger was one of the earliest uses of German continuous mining techniques and technology to be applied outside of Germany.

Not a sign that you want to see at a Dog Show – No Dogs Allowed! Luckily there seemed to be a general exemption for show dogs. But in the background is something that you definitely need to see at a show – Coffee.

Something has caught Zoe’s attention at the Kilmore Agricultural Show 2015 while she enjoys an ice cream.

Another gem from the 2015 Kilmore Agricultural Show. 1961 Mark 1 Ford Thames Trader forward control tray truck, registered on a club permit CH9205. The Thames Trader was Ford’s first British designed and built heavy commercial vehicle. The chrome “4D” badge shows that this is equipped with the smaller 3.6L diesel engine.
