Great videos! Thank you! Had to pause the video at 5:13 to read the WalkerVille Cemetery Burials list! Tragic and tragedy! 1 day the shortest (and briefest) to 78 years and all from the same family DEWAR! It’s nice just having background music with no voice over! Thank you again!

Brilliant Luke!

Nice, I have a photo of the old green brick theatre somewhere. I also recall the old RSL on Thomson Rd, not sure if any photos exist of that. Also got a short video from the pier 2006 which shows the Isle of Wight before fire

I really enjoyed your really interesting video, thanks!! We visited Port Albert earlier this year and loved it! I tried to find any remnants of the Victorian Railways line that ran to Port Albert, also the narrow gauge railway that went from Port Albert station out to the east, but failed miserably! The line into Port Albert is easy to identify, but I couldn't find any remnants of the actual station. I hope to return for longer, one day!

The bridge at Noojee (time 01.16) says Moe Railway, but is in fact the Noojee branch line, it went nowhere near Moe. Likewise, later on, the Crossover bridge is on the Noojee branch line also. Nice work.

You missed McHaffies Lagoon which has a critical history, Close to the McHaffie homestead, only reliable fresh water on the island and the only recorded contact with aboriginals who were moved off the site and the entire island thereafter cleared by fire.

Well done mate Wurty in Newhaven for aprox 40 years Cheers

Great video I taught at the Licola school 1968 and 1969 A great couple of years Cattle were taken up to the high plains every summer

Excellent story thank you I crayfished along the front of phillip Island from the Nobbies to Cape Patterson in the 80's Then purchased a well boat and fished from Liptrap to the Prom for about 4 years I loved working the Ansers and other bits and secret pieces in the days before gps I went for a look at Skull Rock and thought that I could see where I had been told that it had been used for cannon practice in the days of sail and that people had gone ashore and found cannon balls It is a spooky place so I never went back ! I worked as an abalone sheller in the 70's for about 4 years and never heard of anyone from Victoria diving out there even though I think it is just inside 39 /12 ie Victorian waters Cheers mate well done

Just discovered you. Very interesting. Will be watching more 😊

Another great clip been there but never seen cemetery

Australia was settled as a colonial outpost in order to ship goods back to England, based on convict labour and harsh discipline. I don't think the past should be romanticized as some kind of paradise. It was anything but.

As always great video Luke, I'm late viewing this one, have been in the Alfred for the wife's operation, Phill

Great work Luke liked port Albert film Licola is wonderful sad that the old homesteads are gone

Fantastic videos Luke, just about watched all of them now.

Again, enjoyed this.

Great rendition of historical of the Captain

Spent many a day cruising around Wilsons Prom. using Refuge Cove as a base, new the stories about the graves. once again good video Luke. Phill

Wow great video. I enjoyed watching it

Hi Luke, great video of the area. I think your letterbox on one of the shots with the tower is one of the weather station boxes?

Enjoy yr utube docs immensely Luke, gr8 work! The letterbox on the Pinnacles (about 15.40) is the weather observation point with thermometers etc. All Forests Commission (etcetc) had same at their yards/work area.

An excellent coverage of the Tiger Moth rescue of Bob Goldie can be found in this Gippsland History Facebook post by Linda Barraclough: facebook.com/groups/gippslandhistory/posts/3188311318065540/

*Living on Wombat meat:* Linda Barraclough commented via Gippsland History Facebook Group: _"Thanks Luke - so much to fit in there. ❤ One of the great Gippsland surveyor stories is that Turton and his men almost starved building that cairn, and had to live on wombats."_

once again excellent Luke, Phill

Great history 3000 gold sov's hey Luke Steenhuis I've got metal detectors I'll go halves let's find them 😂🎉

Amazing work. Thanks, I feel inspired to take a journey up this way in the warmer months. :)

Great video with great music, good to see another John O’Dea fan

I spent the first 11 years of my life in Licola

Fantastic

Another great video Luke, thanks

Last photo is coming down the Alpine Way into Jindabyne not the Barry Way, Barry Way comes into the Roundabout at the Clay Pits.

Beautiful tribute to an important figure in Yarram and Port Albert history showcasing Port's stunning scenery. Good music too.

I have so many memories of The Port and the Old Port having spent my childhood 1950’s holidays there in the Ship Inn. I remember my father once saying, in a pensive move, that one of his childhood memories in the 1920’s was seeing the three Rutter girls walking along the jetty with their white dresses flapping in the sea breeze.

Used to always stay down at cape woolamai. Great vid

Another fabulous video. They always end too soon!

Thank you for making this wonderful presentation. It was very informative and very well created:)

I went here for camping

That was wonderful, thanks! My parents, Doug & Jean Harvey had the Rhyll store during the 1970s. Charlie Richardson, then in his 80s, used to cycle up every day, rain hail or shine. I remember him telling me how as a kid, he cycled out to Kitty Miller Bay when he heard the Speke had been wrecked.

The car bumps and jumps down the rutted gravel main street of Phillip Island. After one hour, 46 minutes and 40 seconds of racing, Waite took the chequered flag to become the first ever winner of the Australian Grand Prix -- then known as the '100 Miles Road Race'._ [From South Gippsland Sentinel Times 26/2/2008].
