Te Henga or Bethels Beach31 viewsA photo to complement the painting by Matthew Carrucan which is also found in this gallery.
'Te Henga is significant because we used to go there with (my Father) and the Auckland athletic club and they would run along that beach and we would head off behind the beach into the truly massive dunes.
A trip to Auckland is not complete with out at least one visit to one of these beaches.
In the 50's at night in West Auckland you could apparently hear the surf breaking.'

Ned died in 1908 and Susan moved to Brighton in 1910, owing a house called 'Rothwell' at 143 Church St. She lived there until the 1920s and we assume this photo dates from that period.

2000 - Faunarooska Castle30 viewsFaunarooska Castle is a name that comes up every now and then in the Peter Carrucan - Hannah Woods line. What was the connection?
At some time in the past, the farming property which included the Faunarooska Castle had passed into the hands of the Woods family. John Woods, Hannah's father, is mentioned as residing in Faunarooska in the 1855 Griffith Valuation. It was there that Hannah was brought up, within sight of the historic keep on the family property. Presumably it was still in reasonable repair when she emigrated to Australia in 1857 and, in her last years, she remembered it like that and expressed a desire to return to Ireland and lay claim to it.
Alas, by then, it was a derelict structure that was no longer capable of habitation.
This photo, taken between 1890 and 1915, shows the keep still more or less in its entirety although missing its roof. A collapse in 1985 left it as a ruinous pile of rocks.

1900 circa - Dalton St farm, Eltham - horses and drays at work30 viewsAn old photo given to me by my mother, it shows horses and drays at work in the paddocks of the family farm in Dalton St Eltham, circa 1900. This farm, owned by Michael Carrucan, stayed in the family until the 1970s when my uncle Jack died and it was split up and sold.
The horses were the most important pieces of machinery available and teams and drays were prized possessions. My uncle Jack kept two beautiful drays in his sheds long after the horses had gone. He could not bear to part with them.

1900 approx Lower Plenty Hotel Ned Kent on horse, Susan Kent nee Carrucan probably sitting on steps30 viewsSusan Carrucan (1862 - 1943), the third eldest child of Patrick Carrucan and Mary O'Brien, married Edward Shae (Ned) Kent (1858 - 1907) in 1881. Ned Kent owned the Plenty Pub and pubs in Diamond Creek, Christmas Hills and Bulleen and an orchard in Eltham. He is shown seated on a horse outside the Plenty Pub at Lower Plenty while we think it is Susan seated on the steps with a group of others. As he died in 1907, aged 49, this photo must predate that date.

Susan and Ned had no children of their own. Susan reared or adopted John Thomas Flanagan who was orphaned by the age of 8 years, in 1887. He grew up with Sue and became a solicitor, working in Middle Brighton. This photo of him is probably taken around 1920.

1930s late - Mick and Mary Carrucan at Eltham30 viewsThis photo is set in the late 1930's or early 1940's. Mick Carrucan (b 1960) is front left and this photo is taken probably not long before he died around 1942. His wife Mary Carrucan (nee Sweeney) is left back. The lady in the front is her sister Ellen Sweeney who, being sick, came to live at Eltham in the late thirties or early forties. We think the other family are the Brasiers or Braziers who lived for a while in a cottage owned by one of our relatives at Research.

Mary Carrucan (nee Sweeney) is second from left with her eyes partially closed andher daughter Betty is in the front middle. Ellen (Nana) Sweeney is on the left, then Mary, then Nellie Oliver, then an unidentified schoolgirl, then Nessie (Ellen) Sweeney. We cannot think who the lady in the cane chair might be. It seems possible she is one of the relations on the Carrucan side.

1915 approx - Culla Hill original hut - Ellen (Nana) and Kathleen (Cassie) Sweeney with Michael and Frank Carrucan30 viewsNana (Ellen Sweeney) and Cassie (Kathleen Sweeney) proudly pose in front of this humble structure, the first hut built by Thomas Sweeney, possibly as early as 1843. John Francis Sweeney was probably born therein.
The two other figures are Mick Carrucan (who married Mary Sweeney in 1910) and Frank Carrucan, his cousin (who married Kas Sweeney in 1915). We surmise that Frank is either visiting Eltham prior to marrying Kas in December 1915 or they are already married.

Fromelle Statue in Melbourne30 viewsThomas Michael Carrucan, born 1892, was the eldest of the 6 children born to Michael and Margaret Carrucan of Kew and was thus one of the grand children of Peter Carrucan and Hannah Woods. He served in WWI and was in the battle of Fromelles, which occurred on 19-20 July 1916. This was perhaps the most harrowing battle ever undertaken by Australian soldiers. Luckily he returned to his family after the war.
This statue, commemorating that battle, is at the Shrine in Melbourne.
