1950s - Mick Ganly convalescing after heart attack157 viewsMary Jane (Girlie) Carrucan (1889-1961), a grand daughter of Patrick Carrucan, married Michael Joseph (Mick) Ganly (1881-1955) in 1911 and they had eight children: John (Jack), Ellen (Toppy), Mary F. (Molly), Kathleen, Margaret (Peg), Michael (Mick), Malachi and Alicia.
Born in Cappagh, Baylin, Athlone County Westmeath, Ireland on 6th April, 1881, Mick was about 17 when he arrived in Australia.
An electrician by trade, he was always pottering on new projects. Even as his heart started to fail, he could still be found in the backyard working on bits and pieces. This photo, taken in the early 1950s, shows him tinkering while convalescing after a heart attack.

1880s - Depression Work in Research - the creation of the aquaduct153 viewsLocal farmers had to supplement incomes where possible, especially during the Great Depression of the late 1880's.

1960s - painting of Dalton St farm152 viewsPeter Cuffley explains the origin of this painting of the Dalton St farm in Eltham: My brother's great friend, Peter Hurry, who grew up in a mud brick house on a property down Sweeneys Lane, rang me the other day to arrange for me to send one of my books to his friend Hamish Knox, son of Alistair Knox. While visiting Hamish at Christmas Hills, Peter noticed a painting on the wall of a familiar place. Hamish said that his older sister Gabriella (Gabe) had painted it years ago, and that it was of Jack Carrucan's house in Dalton Street.
We suspect it dates from the 1960s.
