YELLINGBO GENERAL STORE

DANDENONG RANGES, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA

IMAGE NUMBER 1201

Yellingbo is a small village in the Dandenong Ranges of Victoria. The town formed around a store opened by James Claxton in 1883 next to Woori Yallock Creek, and was initially known as "Claxton". The post office opened a receiving office around 1902 and still functions in the general store. In August 1946 the village was renamed "Yellingbo" after the last  Aboriginal resident, his name literally meaning "today" in the Woiwurrung language. The village continues to revolve around its idiosyncratic general store.

This image was one of a series of images commissioned from Atticus Webb by the Amber Property Group for the Geoff Brady Collection of unique Victorian landscapes in 2020.

FURPHY WATER TANK

COLDSTREAM, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA

IMAGE NUMBER 1204

Furphy tanks are part of Australia’s history. They even form part of Australia’s slang language - a “furphy” is a false rumour. Furphy water tanks were made in Shepparton, Victoria, by J Furphy & Sons from 1864. Farmers used horses to pull them to carry water to sheep and cattle and fight fires. Many of the old tanks feature poems and sayings on the steel ends. The old tanks are fought over by collectors each time one is offered for sale. This tank was found at the Yarra Valley Dairy near Coldstream Victoria.
