Jordanville Technical School opened in 1954 on a site between Damper and Gardiner's Creeks (see J 10 in the 1966 Melways). This posed problems not solved until, due to continued housing development, Damper Creek was replaced by a drain and Gardiner's Creek was diverted. This made 'grounds improvement' possible. The technical schools predated the first high school in the area, Ashwood High School opening in 1958. This was perhaps an indication of the perceived social status of the working class Jordanville Housing Commission estate.
Ashwood College was formed in 1988 from the merger of Ashwood High School and Jordanville Technical School. The new school was located on the High School site and the Technical School site, across the road, was edeveloped for housing in 1993.

Musa balbisiana Colla (BBB Group) or Musa (BBB Group). Musaceae. CN: [Malay and regional vernacular names - Pisang galla, Pisang benggala, Pisang batu, Biu batu (Bali), Pisang klotok (Jawa; sharing the name with Musa acuminata Colla (ABB Group) 'Pisang Awak', likely the seedy cultivar.), Kluai taanee, Kluai tani (Thai กล้วยตานี)], Balbis banana, Starchy banana, Mealy banana, Seedy banana, Wild starchy banana, Wild banana type B. A species of wild banana native to eastern South Asia, northern Southeast Asia, and southern China can grow to more than 8 m in height. It is one of the progenitors of modern cultivated bananas along with Musa acuminata. The species is also the primary genetic relative of B-genome bananas for breeding purposes. The fruit is considered inedible because of the seeds they contain and is often grown for its thick leaves for wrapping food and other uses. In Indonesia, the rind of Pisang klotok is thinly sliced along with some of its interior flesh, mixed with other fruits and sauce, called rujak, and the part has the most seeds discarded. In Malaysia, except in the state of Kelantan (or perhaps other eastern states in Peninsular Malaysia), the plant is planted for its thick and resilient broad leaves and the young fruits are sometimes harvested for making 'acar' (chutney). The ripe fruit is very sweet and occasionally eaten raw while the hard black seeds are spat out, but most liberally swallowed.
In Thai folklore it is believed that this type of banana tree may be inhabited by a spirit, Nang Tani (นางตานี), a type of ghost (or rather a species of the ghost, since we are in the midst of discussing taxonomy) related to trees that manifests itself as a young woman. Often people tie a length of colored satin cloth around the trunk of the banana tree to appease the ghost. While in the Malay culture, there were awful maniacs called Orang Minyak (Oily Man), a bunch of compulsive oily rapists prowling during the darkness of the night, naked and terrorizing beautiful maidens in villages. In order to be one, one has to have to be a hermit, sitting cross-legged alone under a flowering banana tree in the jungle, with the mouth gaping collecting and swallowing in the process whatever fluid dripping from the banana heart until the unseen being shows its face. It may take days, weeks, or even months. Perhaps, some negotiating and pleading happened, "Hey I wanna be an Oily Man. Help me please, please. I drank all your shit that flowed along the banana heart isn't it." The sighting of Orang Minyak has declined lately, I suppose staying dormant, but ready to strike again. So much for the digression and storytelling!

and many more with numerous circumscriptions among taxonomists.
Note:
The vernacular name 'Pisang batu' may also refer to other hybrids and cultivars. Phylogeny is now the methodology used for the classification of the complex Musaceae.
1. Pisang batu (Malaysia) is Musa acuminata x balbisiana Colla (ABBB Group) cv. 'Tiparot'
2. Pisang batu (Indonesia) is Musa acuminata x balbisiana Colla (ABB Group) cv. 'Bluggoe' or ?"Pisang kates"

Manufacturer/Model: REL Canada/Universal Camera Corp N.Y. Prismatic 2-S No. 2 Mk II 6X30 (Australian Army markings)
Field of View: 8.3 deg = 145.5 m/1,000 m; APFOV 49.8 deg
Weight: 725 gr
Exit Pupil: 5 mm
Serial #/Year of Manufacture: 15811-C = 1942
Notes: The circumstances under which the jointly marked REL Canada/Universal Camera New York 6x30 binoculars were manufactured are not known. (Note the “REL” marking on the left prism plate of this example is almost completely obliterated). It is possible that in 1942 REL had contracts for more 6x30's than they were capable of supplying and subcontracted Universal to make them or else REL assembled parts already made by Universal as a start-up exercise leading to their undertaking full scale manufacture. Except for the Australian markings and green coloration this example is a typical REL/Universal 6x30 and almost identical in build to the U.S Army M3 and M6 6x30 and the REL CGB 53 GA 6x30. Company records report that REL’s first 6x30 binocular was made in June 1942 but do not specify the model so it may have been one of the Universal REL’s. All known examples of this binocular are marked 1942, and their serial numbers fit in REL ranges without duplication.
The D/|\D marking on both the left and right prism plates is the Australian Department of Defence property marking used pre-WW I and then from the 1920's - 1960's. The V6/VFA0220 marking on the right prism plate is a British or possibly Australian Army ordnance stores catalog number for this type binocular. The No. 2 Mk II designation is a British Commonwealth marking for a 6x30 prismatic binocular with graticule – there is a standard British type degree scale graticule in the right eyepiece. All these markings are usually present on Australian Army WW II binoculars, but according to Bolton (see: www.asap.unimelb.edu.au/bsparcs/exhib/papers/bolton2.htm page 6 of 17) during WW II Canadian and American binoculars “did not arrive [in Australia] until 1944 and 1945” suggesting that this particular one may not have entered Australian service until late or post war. Further, it has anti-reflective coated optics which would have been a late or post war modification, and its green coloration is also a modification (the original black finish is visible in places where the green has worn away) most likely done in accordance with a British 1947 “List of Changes” requirement.

Origin: South Asia and India
Oldest cultivated fruit tree in the world. The lovely mango was cultivated in India 4,000 years ago, and the plant itself is impressive, with leafy green foliage. The fruit, delicious for breakfast or dessert, is yellow and red with black specks, and generally kidney-shaped. This tasty and nutritious fruit is becoming increasingly popular in the States. It grows in the tropics and warm subtropics.
It will grow in poor soils and does not need a lot of water. Good production starts in 2 to 3 years with grafted trees, although grafted trees will flower and fruit the first year even when small. Wet or cool weather during bloom in the spring limits fruit set.
Temperatures of 40F will damage mango blossoms. Mature trees may tolerate 25F for a few hours with leaf and small branch damage, but young trees may be killed at 29-30F.
Trees in the tropics become large and stately like oaks. Warning: Some people react to the skin of mango fruit like they do to poison ivy.
Varieties: Over 400 varieties. According to variety, tree can be large or small, producing early, mid or late season fruit. Much variation in color, flavor, and fiber content according to variety.

Trade name: TickleMe Plant (TM)
Native to Brazil, this short lived evergreen sub shrub is usually treated as an annual. It is grown for its curiosity value - the fern like leaves close up and droop when touched, usually re-opening within minutes. It has prickly stems and small, fluffy, ball shaped pink flowers in summer.
A perennial plant, it grows to a height of 0.5m with a spread of 0.3m. In some areas this plant is becoming a noxious weed. The stem is erect, slender and branching. The leaves are bipinnate, fern like and pale green - closing when disturbed. The flowers are pale lilac pink, occurring in globose heads and appearing in summer.
Indigenous to the northern hemisphere, it is adaptable to most soils in an open, sunny position, and is drought and frost tender. Due to its ability to fix nitrogen from the air it does well on poor soils.

Julia and I decided to be a bit adventurous as get this bitter vegetable for a stir fry. When I asked the lady in the shop, in Cantonese, what this was called, she paused and said that it was called "rau rang" in Vietnamese. She said it was good for cooling the system, very good for you, but extremely bitter. Stir fry with dried shrimp was her command.
... and so I did a Rau Rang stir fried with Sambal Belacan, and yes, it was very bitter! Quite tender once you removed the more fibrous root sectios, but bitter, very bitter.
I think that it is part of the purslane (Portulaca oleracea ) family, with succulent stems and short stubby leaves.
If anyone can confirm this, please leave a comment, or send me a flickrmail.
Update 2007.10.30: I happened to stumble upon the name rau dang / foo yip (Cantonese for 苦叶 or bitter leaf) on the pages of the Department of Primary Industries, Victoria, via Multilingual Multiscript Plant Name Database of Melbourne University.
The MMPND is amazing! The list of Malay index of banana names alone is amazing. And I thought I knew a thing or two about bananas :P
Update 2008.03.04: Rau Dang - [(Viet), Foo Yip (Cantonese), Glinus oppositifolius] apparently...
Update 2010.08.21: Mystery solved thanks to the Vietnamese Cuisine, Herbs section in the Wikipedia. This is rau đắng, or Bacopa monnieri. Used raw as a herb as a topping for soups rather than stir-fried as a side dish.
This steam boiler is located in the mining workshop which appears elsewhere in the Hillgrove album. It would also fit the Chimney album, certainly one heck of a fireplace, installed some time after 1905. And if you look closely enough you might see a few left over pastry flakes from a Cornish pastie just over there on the bricks.
Alfred Goninen was an interesting character who believed Newcastle could become the 'Ruhr of the Antipodes'. In less than a century the company he founded went from this little boiler to manufacturing hi-tech Tangara trains for the Sydney metro, see link below.
Alfred's brother Ralph worked as an engineer in the Hill End and Sunny Corner gold mines, and in Western Australia and New Guinea, quite a journey for the two Cousin Jacks from St Just in Penwith, Cornwall, and just a small part of the great Cornish Diaspora
Cornish emigration was caused by a number of factors, mainly economic, notably a lack of work in the 18th and 19th centuries. During this period many Cornish people or “Cousin Jacks”, as they were known, migrated to other parts of the world in search of a better life. Many skilled miners sought the opportunity to find work abroad, as a consequence of the decline of the tin and copper mining industries in Cornwall. It is estimated that 250,000 Cornish migrated abroad between 1861 and 1901. These emigrants also included farmers, merchants and tradesmen, but were in the main miners. There is a common saying in Cornwall that; "a mine is a hole anywhere in the world with at least one Cornishman at the bottom of it!"
Two of Australia's prime-ministers are known to have Cornish ancestry. Robert Menzies was partially Cornish, while Bob Hawke is entirely of Cornish descent. In addition, at least six Premiers of South Australia have been of Cornish origin. James Ruse, known as Australia's first farmer, had been transported from Cornwall.
"Founded in Australia in 1899 by Cornish brothers Alfred and Ralph Goninan as an engineering and manufacturing company for the coal industry. A Goninan & Co Limited was incorporated as a public company in 1905.
It entered the rail business in 1917 via Commonwealth Steel Products Company of Waratah, Newcastle, a wheel and axle manufacturer because they could no longer be imported from Belgium due to World War I.
A Goninan & Co moved to more convenient freehold land at Broadmeadow in 1919 and built a flourishing business in general engineering. They made pitheads, boilers, wagons and a huge, cast 41-ton block for the district's coal trade.
In the early fifties, Goninan began the manufacture of diesel electric locomotives of G.E.C. (USA) design, a field in which the Company specialized over the next 25 years, culminating in 1987 with the award of the contract by the NSW State Rail Authority to produce the TANGARA. This $500 million project produced a world class, high performance, smooth-skin construction train, making extensive use of glass and advanced electrical equipment that required new levels of engineering excellence."

While still on the tree, the fruits burst open exposing the cotton like substance, which is the kapok of commerce. The small, brown seed, inbetted within the fluffy kapok, is blown away in the wind for many miles.
Oil from the seeds is used in edible products and the ground seeds in animal feed.
Ceiba is also the national tree of both Guatemala and Puerto Rico.

Jordanville Technical School opened in 1954 on a site between Damper and Gardiner's Creeks (see J 10 in the 1966 Melways). This posed problems not solved until, due to continued housing development, Damper Creek was replaced by a drain and Gardiner's Creek was diverted. This made 'grounds improvement' possible. The technical schools predated the first high school in the area, Ashwood High School opening in 1958. This was perhaps an indication of the perceived social status of the working class Jordanville Housing Commission estate.
Ashwood College was formed in 1988 from the merger of Ashwood High School and Jordanville Technical School. The new school was located on the High School site and the Technical School site, across the road, was edeveloped for housing in 1993.

The Sanskrit names for this useful tree are very numerous, the best known are Kutaja and Kalinga, amongst others ... Girimallika, Vatsaka "cow tree", Sakra sakhin "Indra’s tree", and Sakrasana "Indra’s food".
The tree is fabled to have sprung from the drops of amrita, which fell on the ground from the bodies of Rama’s monkeys, which were restored to life by Indra. The seeds are called in Sanskrit Indrayava, Bhadrayava, Vatsakavija, or Sakravija, "Indra’s seed".
Arabic and Persian writers describe the seeds under the name of lisan-el-asafir-el-murr, and zaban-i-gungishk-i-talk (bitter sparrow’s tongue).
The Portuguese physicians call it coru, curo, cura and corte de pala, codaga-pala.

Jordanville Technical School opened in 1954 on a site between Damper and Gardiner's Creeks (see J 10 in the 1966 Melways). This posed problems not solved until, due to continued housing development, Damper Creek was replaced by a drain and Gardiner's Creek was diverted. This made 'grounds improvement' possible. The technical schools predated the first high school in the area, Ashwood High School opening in 1958. This was perhaps an indication of the perceived social status of the working class Jordanville Housing Commission estate.
Ashwood College was formed in 1988 from the merger of Ashwood High School and Jordanville Technical School. The new school was located on the High School site and the Technical School site, across the road, was edeveloped for housing in 1993.

In Melbourne Museum, I was looking through a display on the hsitory of X-ray, and was intrigued by this display. It is a hand held shot in poor light, and ended up purplish at the bottom for some reason, so I have raised the purple tone throughout.
Sorry if you think it is a bit ghoulish but as you may know, I "do anything".
This is part of the research done by Professor Ian Taylor .
I have written the text from the accompanying story below.
------------
This map shows the arteries of the skin. Soon after death, the blood vessels of this mans body were injected with a fluid that shows up on X-rays. The skin and its blood vessels and nerves were then carefully removed from the body, flattened out and X-rayed.
Notice the concentration of blood vessels in the head, the armpits, the groin and the palms. The feet are not shown because the fluid did not penetrate their blood vessels.
In reconstructive surgery, tissue is often transferred from one part of the body to cover damaged areas in another part. The blood vessels and nerves of the transferred tissue are joined to those at the new area using microsurgery, ensuring that the repaired area has both feeling and function.
It is important to know the detailed anatomy of the transferred tissue and the area to be repaired. This was the first total body study carried out by Professor Ian Taylor and his colleagues in their work on creating a detailed atlas of the blood vessels and nerves.

Jordanville Technical School opened in 1954 on a site along Vannam Drive, Ashwood, between Damper and Gardiner's Creeks (see J 10 in the 1966 Melways). This posed problems not solved until, due to continued housing development, Damper Creek was replaced by a drain and Gardiner's Creek was diverted. This made 'grounds improvement' possible. The technical schools predated the first high school in the area, Ashwood High School opening in 1958. This was perhaps an indication of the perceived social status of the working class Jordanville Housing Commission estate.
Ashwood College was formed in 1988 from the merger of Ashwood High School and Jordanville Technical School. The new school was located on the High School site and the Technical School site, across the road, was developed for housing in 1993. Beechwood Terrace, Scenic Drive and Clearview Close are located on the former Jordanville Technical School site.
Ashwood State School was adjoining and directly to the south of Jordanville Technical School. This location was also developed for housing, with Malmsbury Drive, and Peppermint and Lavender courts on the former primary school site.
