Larra and Mt Elephant
Prof Harriet took this picture of me up on a stone wall (stony rise) getting a GPS photo of the LARRA HOMESTEAD, MT. ELEPHANT IN DISTANCE, 1857 Eugene Von Guerard location in the Corangamite Shire. The wind was whistling across the scoria plains cold as b and getting a steady shot was no easy job. Piecing together this location through oral history interviews was fascinating, invigorating and confronting all in one. A news article on the research project was published in a number of papers across the region. Special thanks to the local Josie Black for all her support and encouragement and I will be thinking of her in her battle with illness.
