This is the Home Page of the BRIGHT
PICTORIAL HERITAGE WEBSITE, an editorial research project compiled by Bob Padula, OAM, of Melbourne.
Victoria, Australia.
This project traces the history, evolution and development in words and pictures of the beautiful town
of Bright, 350 km northeast of Melbourne, near the foothills of the Victorian Alps.
The site is essentially a colllection of stories authored by myself, linked to many out-of-copyright
images and maps from various sources, dating back to the 1850s, supplemented by photographs taken by myself in the years
1962 to 2011. I have included video content created by myself in 2010.
Note: Images taken by myself are indicated with an * at the start of the caption.
Please use the Navigation Bar, at the left of each page, to go direct to the particular chapter.
All images are thumbnailed - click on any photo to see a FULL SIZE view!
I hope you find the project useful!
