SUMMARY:Gembrook Nurseries – Photography Display
DESCRIPTION:The Places That Made Us – Nobelius Heritage Park  \nThe Nobelius Heritage Park is a 4.5 hectare area of unique historic and horticultural significance. From 1901\, the site was the centre of the world-famous Gembrook Nurseries (also known as the Nobelius Nursery)\, started by Carl Axel Nobelius in 1886. \nAt more than  650 hectares\, the nursery was the largest in the southern hemisphere. Before World War I\, the nursery exported hundreds of thousands of fruit and ornamental trees each year to five continents. \nGembrook Nurseries became the single most important influence in Emerald’s early and economic and social development. At the nursery’s peak\, Nobelius employed more than 80 people to grow and harvest the trees. Most nursery work took place in winter\, enabling settlers to establish their own properties which they worked on in the summer. \nAs the small township grew up around the nursery\, Nobelius supported local sports teams and social activities. He provided a loan to build the first Mechanics Institute in Emerald and donated prizes to the local school. \nNobelius was also one of thirteen local witnesses who gave evidence to the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Railways in 1898\, proposing the construction of a railway to connect Ferntree Gully with Gembrook. The petition was successful and led to what is now known as the Puffing Billy Railway being officially opened in 1900. \nToday the Nobelius Heritage Park and Emerald Museum tell the story of Carl Axel Nobelius and the Gembrook Nurseries\, recognising their significant contribution to the early growth and development of Emerald.

SUMMARY:Rehearsing the City: Photography exhibition
DESCRIPTION:On display are photographs sourced from the collections of Victoria’s State and National Archives\, as well as work by contemporary photographers responding to Victoria’s urban environment: Ai Tam Do\, Adrian Leung\, Suzanne Phoenix\, Ted Richards\, Sande Harsa\, Mark Forbes\, Melanie Cobham\, Michael Currie\, Andrew Tan\, Hashem McAdam\, Chris Bekos and Deb Stembridge. \nBoth the archival and contemporary images examine how public space is not just shaped by architects and urban planners\, but also by protest\, improvisation and the rhythms of daily life. Communities and individuals constantly use the built environment in creative or unexpected ways\, reinterpreting or subverting its intended design. These acts of resistance show that urban environments are not static – they grow and adapt with their inhabitants. Design can guide\, but it is the everyday actions of people that give public space its meaning and its future. \nThe exhibition is open throughout October\, 10 am–4:30 pm weekdays\, and 10 am–4 pm every second and last Saturday of the month.

SUMMARY:Rehearsing the City: Photography exhibition
DESCRIPTION:On display are photographs sourced from the collections of Victoria’s State and National Archives\, as well as work by contemporary photographers responding to Victoria’s urban environment: Ai Tam Do\, Adrian Leung\, Suzanne Phoenix\, Ted Richards\, Sande Harsa\, Mark Forbes\, Melanie Cobham\, Michael Currie\, Andrew Tan\, Hashem McAdam\, Chris Bekos and Deb Stembridge. \nBoth the archival and contemporary images examine how public space is not just shaped by architects and urban planners\, but also by protest\, improvisation and the rhythms of daily life. Communities and individuals constantly use the built environment in creative or unexpected ways\, reinterpreting or subverting its intended design. These acts of resistance show that urban environments are not static – they grow and adapt with their inhabitants. Design can guide\, but it is the everyday actions of people that give public space its meaning and its future. \nThe exhibition is open throughout October\, 10 am–4:30 pm weekdays\, and 10 am–4 pm every second and last Saturday of the month.

SUMMARY:The Early Days of Aeradio: Images from the Ivan Hodder Collection
DESCRIPTION:In the late 1930s Ivan Hodder was a Radio Inspector in the newly-created Department of Civil Aviation. He was responsible for commissioning many of the first Aeronautical Radio (Aeradio) stations being constructed at that time. Also a keen photographer\, Ivan left us with two photograph albums comprising a valuable record of the very beginnings of the Australian air traffic services system. The exhibition will also include a recording of Ivan talking about each of the photographs in his own words – a unique record indeed.

SUMMARY:Gembrook Nurseries – Photography Display
DESCRIPTION:The Places That Made Us – Nobelius Heritage Park  \nThe Nobelius Heritage Park is a 4.5 hectare area of unique historic and horticultural significance. From 1901\, the site was the centre of the world-famous Gembrook Nurseries (also known as the Nobelius Nursery)\, started by Carl Axel Nobelius in 1886. \nAt more than  650 hectares\, the nursery was the largest in the southern hemisphere. Before World War I\, the nursery exported hundreds of thousands of fruit and ornamental trees each year to five continents. \nGembrook Nurseries became the single most important influence in Emerald’s early and economic and social development. At the nursery’s peak\, Nobelius employed more than 80 people to grow and harvest the trees. Most nursery work took place in winter\, enabling settlers to establish their own properties which they worked on in the summer. \nAs the small township grew up around the nursery\, Nobelius supported local sports teams and social activities. He provided a loan to build the first Mechanics Institute in Emerald and donated prizes to the local school. \nNobelius was also one of thirteen local witnesses who gave evidence to the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Railways in 1898\, proposing the construction of a railway to connect Ferntree Gully with Gembrook. The petition was successful and led to what is now known as the Puffing Billy Railway being officially opened in 1900. \nToday the Nobelius Heritage Park and Emerald Museum tell the story of Carl Axel Nobelius and the Gembrook Nurseries\, recognising their significant contribution to the early growth and development of Emerald.
