South Camp in 1920s. Winton McColl's grandmother, Daisy Ebsworth with Aunt Lorna and Uncles Ted and Reg.

Wading pool being used the summer of no swimming pool in Yallourn due to the construction of the new Olympic sized pool. The good looking lad 3rd from right is Winton McColl with Carole French on his left. Might be Ian James directly behind him? The photo was used in the Live Wire.

Described in the Morwell Advertiser, 16 April 1953, page 1, as ‘...a simple Grecian column depicting on its front face the figure of a kneeling woman placing a wreath on the stone of remembrance and typifying sorrowing motherhood’.

Mr Cook was the first jeweller to have his own shop in Yallourn when a few were built in I think the early fifties, maybe late forties, between the National Bank and the picture theatre. Prior to that time, there were very few shops other than the SEC run General Store.

I am not sure that my watch came in this box which my parents gave me, I think for my 18th birthday. As it was a surprise, Mr Cook sent a selection into the National Bank (where I worked) on the pretense of it being for someone else, so I chose it not knowing it would be for me.
