Hi Carollyn, There are a few fairly well known / recognisable photos of local aboriginals in the area - most appeared in the Geelong News of the Week. The Geelong Heritage Centre have copies of these. Can you scan a copy (not too big) and email it to me so I can see if I recognise it? If they are locals and can be identified as such I guess the GHC is probably the most likely place - not sure if Deakin have an aboriginal collection in their special collections archive.

I have 2 photos - an aboriginal man and an aboriginal woman. The photos are aged, on photographers card but have no name or date. They show signs of having been in a frame. They were in my late father's possession and I believe them to have come from his place of work, Strachan and Co., Woolbrokers of Moorabool St. I believe they may have been discarded when that company closed. I have compared them to photos in 'The History of Geelong and Corio Bay' but there is no match. I should like to identify them as past local aboriginal inhabitants and give them to the appropriate archive for safe keeping. > Carollyn Williams > > > > ==== AUS-VIC-GEELONG-DISTRICT Mailing List ==== > Geelong & District Research Centres & Museums : > http://www.zades.com.au/geelong/gdresc.htm > >
