Historically interesting album of lively vernacular photos taken by a middle-aged woman from England during her voyage through Oceania in the winter of 1950-1951. The compiler and her travel companions began their journey in Albury-Wodonga and traveled by train and car through southeastern Australia visiting Tallangatta Tawonga Bogong and Canberra. From the capital they took a Trans Australian Airlines flight to Launceston Tasmania where they boarded SS “Aorangi” and set sail for Auckland. In New Zealand the party visited Rotorua Wairakei and Wellington then traveled aboard SS “Wanganella” to Sydney before proceeding to Melbourne. There the travelers boarded SS “Himalaya” and started their journey back to England with stops in Adelaide Perth Colombo Hanwell Aden Port Said and Gibraltar. The album contains one hundred ninety-nine photographs with over eighty images documenting the Australian voyage. Sixteen excellent photos of Canberra feature general views of the city and local landmarks Parliament House the American Embassy House of Reps Prime Minister’s Lodge Institute of Anatomy etc. Several interesting photos show the travelers cheerfully posing by the Canberra Travel Lodge where they stayed and boarding a Trans Australia Airlines flight to Tasmania. About forty-five lively photos of Albury-Wodonga capture the compiler and her friends at a local wedding and visiting the Botanical Garden the Victorian Border and Bethanga Bridge. There are also a few candid photographs of local schools Infants High and State and their staff joyfully playing with children. A series of Melbourne photos show St. Patrick’s Cathedral the Model Tudor Village and portraits of the travelers on the wharf and the deck of SS “Himalaya.” The album also includes a couple of photos taken in Sydney documenting the Harbor Bridge and the traveling party at Darling Harbor before boarding SS “Aorangi.” The rest of the Australian photos mostly show local dams the newly-built Hume Weir & Junction Sylvan and Cotter Dams and the travelers picnicking with friends in Tallangatta posing next to No. 3 Powerhouse in Tawonga and enjoying a snowball fight in Mount Bogong. About forty-five well-executed photographs illustrate the compiler’s journey in New Zealand. Most of the photos portray the travelers in Auckland next to the Michael Savage Memorial Rangitoto and Memorial Grounds Rotorua by a Maori Meeting House and gateway and Wellington at the Courtenay Place.
