Jim, who has a cottage near Bondi, reads our Blog (thanks, Jim!) We hooked him with the story about the Bigwin Water Tower, and he's been reading ever since.
Recently, he acquired an old photo album. It's labelled "The Hungry Bunch, 1910 - 1911, Lake of Bays."
That's it, that's all... He's trying to dig up some more information about the photos, and to that end, he sent some to our Blog.
We're including a couple here, just in case someone out there (probably along the South Shore, near Glenmount perhaps?) jumps up in excitement, pointing at the screen and shouting "look, there's Uncle Bob!!!"
If you recognize this cottage, or this leaning tree, please let us know. The bridge we've got identified: it's the old one-lane original bridge across the Canal, at Deerhurst. And that's obviously the original Glenmount Hotel..
I'll be adding these photos -- and the others Jim took -- to our Historical slide Show, so you can snoop about in there if they look familiar (or even if they don't) It's a gentle reminder of a time when we worried less about high speed and plasma tv's at the cottage, and more about the sailboats, and firewood, and the good times together.
