Coming up in August, our traditional Fireside Chat at Stangate House features speakers Pauline and Rosanna Hurren

Here's a 1938 picture from our regular follower, Dave Walsh. Who can pinpoint the location?

Thanks to a grant from History SA our new display is being set up in the Local and Garden History Centre of the Coventry Library. Over the next few weeks we will fine tune our setup and then you can expect to see news, events and items from our archives on display when you visit.

Here is another of our old maps, this time the area around Crafers, showing the subdivisions of Mount Lofty Park, Woodbury and Fern Hill. See if you can find any other interesting features.

From Our Archives item No. 59-6 Aldgate Main Street, taken from the Railway Bridge, C1909. Notice the proliferation of advertising on the sides and roofs of the shops #Aldgate

It's interesting to look back at some of the old maps of the district and the names of subdivisions which are no longer used. Street names also change over time. In this example of part of Stirling you will see subdivisions called Woodbury, Crafers Park, Crossfell, Truwalla and Milford Estate. Let us know if you spot any other interesting features on the map. We will post other areas in the near future as well. #Stirling

Members and Friends Update Thanks to those who supported our "Writing Family History" event last night. We shared drinks, nibbles and insights from four speakers about their own experiences and suggestions about recording family history for personal and community benefit. Thanks to those from the local U3A family history group who contributed their time and effort. Our next major event will be the traditional fireside chat at Stangate House coming up in August; more information shortly. Lastly, the Flinders Column magazine issue 137 is now available for members to collect from the History Centre.

If it ever rains again, we might see the return of waterfalls like these, to the Mount Lofty Ranges. Who has memories of Waterfall Gully?
