100 Year Old Photos - Australia, The Grampians

These photos as part of this collection, they have been block mounted on card, they are speckled with age - but for 100year old photos - I suppose that is to be expected.

The above photo is of "The Wonderland Peak" 2250ft above sea level, within the National Park.

This photo is of "The Pinnacle" which is 2250ft above sea level. I believe both photos to have been taken by someone by the name of Roger, connected somehow to the James Family. Who's photo albums these belong to. If you would like to see the other photos in the collection, please follow this link. Photos from all over the world, the sub-continent, Europe between the wars. Some photos unidentified. So any help appreciated and you would be attributed with having identified the relevant photos. Australia Europe Hong Kong Unidentified Aboard the SS Otranto Enjoy

100 Year Old Postcards & Album - Australia

Below is an old Potcard album - dating back to c1904, belonging to Ethel James The postcards remaining in the album are also below.

I would love to know what this postcard is of - it says 'Roseville' but no other location is provided. I'm assuming Australia

The below inscription was written on the back of the Manly Postcard, seems to indicate that the James family was involved in horse training, riding or owning and made some good money, if the round the world trip is any indication.

Enjoy

100 year old Photos #23 - Onboard the SS Otranto

These photos are taken on board the SS Otranto, The tall gentleman in the pith helmut (in the 2nd photo) is Mr James. (I don't know his first name)

The 3rd photo down is Ethel James, it must have been dress-up day/night on the boat. A common activity I believe.

Either or, the young men on this cruise all seem too dashing for their time ;)

The photo below is of the area of the Grampians in Victoria known as the 'Grand Canyon' c1910 I believe this is the 'Silverband Falls; from above in the Grampians National Park, Victoria, c1910

The photo below is of the area known as the 'Grand Canyon' in the Grampians National Park. 1910c

This photo location is undetermined. Somewhere in Australia. I am assuming either Victoria or NSW, due to previous photos having been taken in the same area, The tree ferns tell me it is an area high in moisture or an area that has created its own micro-climate. Either way typical Australian bushland. c1910

I believe the photo below to also be of the Grampians and the area referred to as the 'Grand Canyon' an area that I have not seen - but something that is now on my to-do-list for thenear future! c1910
