    1. [AUS-VIC-WESTERN-DISTRICT] Vern McCallum Historical Photo Exhibition - 25/26 August 2007
    2. Geoff Corner
    3. Hello all, A reminder that this year's Annual Exhibition of the Vern McCallum Collection of historical photographs of the Western District of Victoria will be held on 25 and 25 August in the Digby Memorial Hall (at the intersection of the Hamilton-Dartmoor and Portland-Casterton roads). This will be a whole-of-town weekend, with the thousand or more photographs, a McCallum Family Reunion, and extensive displays arranged by the Digby Hall Committee. The photographs document the social history of the district from the 1860s and show many local people at work and play. The displays include Vintage tractors and cars, stationary engines, wood turning, old tools, local family memorabilia, and a Cobb & Co coach (that will be providing rides). The guided Digby Historic Walk will reveal the surprising depth of history hidden behind Digby's small-town face. The Exhibition will run from 10.00 am to 5 pm on both days. Cost is $10 per adult, children under 16 free. The cost includes entry to the photographic and all other displays and activities, including the McCallum Family Reunion, but not rides on the Cobb & Co coach. The Digby Delights (aka the ladies of the Hall Committee and community) will again be serving light refreshments at a very reasonable price. Full details on http://www.mccallum-collection.org including a write-up of the 2006 Exhibition just to give you a taste of what's on offer. See you there - and remember to bring along your own photographs, albums and memories! Geoff Corner
