Hume Reservoir: c.1930 'HUME RESERVOIR/RIVER DIVERSION' real photograph postcard showing the wall of the dam near Albury in an advanced stage of construction, a bit soiled, unused. [We expect both the Murray River and the Mitta Mitta River required diversion to permit the construction, which took place between 1919 and 1936]
Kilmore Military Camp: 1912 real photograph card 'KILMORE CAMP 1912' showing the Camp brass band leading the troops on a route march, an officer on his horse watching on, used under cover. A Receiving Office only operated 4.4.1912 until 12.4.1912. [Social message mentions "...Camp Life in Kilmore..."]
Kilmore Military Camp: 1912 real photograph card 'KILMORE CAMP 1912' showing a string of horse-drawn vehicles approaching the Camp along a dusty road with Kilmore in the background, used with part-strike of the shield ' 2 /MILITARY/AP10/12/ENCAMPMENT' d/s (very scarce on cover), minor corner bend hardly detracts.
Sunshine: 'The Railway Accident at Sunshine, Easter Monday 1908, 43 lives lost' real photograph postcard showing the aftermath of the crash with passenger carriage almost totally destroyed, used under cover with message on back, couple of minor blemishes.
