Butter wouldn’t melt! This photo captures the angelic students from St Maria Goretti School in 1955 – when Robert Menzies was the Prime Minister and television was on the horizon (ready for the 1956 Melbourne Olympic coverage!). Do you recognise anyone in the photo? Comment below!

The straitjacket emerged in Europe in the late 18th century, as doctors sought an alternative to chains and shackles for restraining patients. Typically made from sturdy canvas or sailcloth with leather straps and buckles, it was marketed as a more humane restraint to stop patients from harming themselves or others...

Traditional straitjackets are now almost entirely phased out in most countries, but they still occasionally appear in magic acts, films, TV shows and even fashion as a symbol of madness, rebellion or confinement!

Dingo Barrier Fence sign or Target shooting practice?

This weathered sign, riddled with bullet holes and rusted by time, once warned of the strict penalties for leaving the Dingo Barrier Fence open. The Dingo Barrier Fence is one of the longest structures in the world, built to protect livestock from predators.

Inglewood State School students, 1949.

This treasured class photo from Grades V, VI, VII (5, 6 & 7) captures a moment in time from post-war Australia, where chalkboards, corrugated iron walls and community spirit shaped the school days of local students. Can you spot someone you know?

Fancy some Quince Jam with a swirl of Strychnine? No? We don’t blame you! Thankfully, this inventive recipe wasn’t for human consumption – it was used with thistle roots in an attempt to eradicate and control the plague proportions of rabbits in the Inglewood area.

‘The Abbott Buggy’ and ‘The Drag’ were donated to the Inglewood Historical Society by the Goodrich Family of Warroo Station. Horse drawn carriages were an integral part of working like on Stations in the 1800’s and early 1900’s as they provided reliable, flexible and essential transport in a time when no other alternatives existed for the remote outback landscape.

(‘The Abbott Buggy’ has a special connection to the Royal Family – visit the Inglewood To***co & Heritage Museum to find out more!)
