Auburn 1939

Tue, 29 May 2007 10:28:24 GMT

This photo was taken back in 1939 the Bills Horse Trough was located in Auburn Road Victoria, between Riversdale Rd and Leslie st.

Was a hot summer day when young Felicity and her sister Wendy decided they wanted to go for a swim . The rubbish man sent them home telling them he wanted to water his horse and they could get sick.

Note the old pusher handle on the right-hand side of photo.

California Gully

Tue, 29 May 2007 10:10:32 GMT

This Bills trough was once located on Eaglehawk road California Gully opposite the Rose of Australia Hotel.

The photos taken in about 1940 shows 2 small boys Tom P and Harry D enjoying a cooling off in the Trough. This trough had plenty of use as close by was the Hercules Gold Mine and the Quarts from it was carted to the Battery by horse and carts owned by a Mr Norris.

It also provided a very welcome drink for the many horses, in delivery carts as it was half way between Bendigo and Eaglehawk.

Phylis M the long time licensee of The Rose of Australia Hotel gave me this photo.
