This Website is authored by Bob
Padula, OAM, of Mont Albert, Victoria, Australia, and is a Pictorial History Research project.
It is a journey, through space and time, chronicling the
history, heritage and evolution of the Dandenong Police Paddocks and the Churchill National Park, 30 km south east of
Melbourne.
The Project includes many public-domain out-of-copyright images,
copies of etchings and photographs (dating back to the 1830s), maps, audio/visual content, supplemented by recent
on-site imagery taken by the author.
The textual content and
articles describe the events and activities depicted in the photographs.
There are several Chapters devoted
to the 7th Australian National Scout Jamboree held over nine days in the 1964-65 New Year Holiday period, attended by
16,000 scouts.
