Keilor Iron or Basket Bridge

 

Browsing through the photographs at the State Library of Victoria taken by Ruth Hollick, this photo came up as an unidentified country bridge.  It is, however, the Keilor Iron Basket Bridge, taken circa 1930.  See more of the history of the bridge on the Time Travellers website.

The official Guider magazine Matilda recorded the registration of the 1st Ascot Vale Brownie Pack in the 1 August 1933 issue.

But where did they meet?  Who started the Pack? What did they do?  Lend us a hand to find out more about the 1st Ascot Vale Brownies.   There is one little Brownie from this pack making her salute on the Time Travellers website.
