With footy finals upon us, you might see a few football-related posts popping up as we share some items from our BMHC collection.

This old beauty has certainly seen plenty of action over the years. A piece of footy history!

So, an answer for yesterday’s, BMHC what on earth is this?
Thank you for all that had a guess!

‘A 'Hamilton's Manure Distributor' made of canvas with the outlet reinforced with leather and metal. The shoulder straps clip off near the outlet to make refilling easier’
c.1941 - c.1955

Father’s Day in Australia first started in the mid 1930’s.
Originally the idea started in the US in 1910.

The official recognition in Australia was in 1964, when the Commonwealth placed the date on the first Sunday of September.

This also meant the start of spring which offered warmer weather well suited to outdoor family gatherings & BBQs.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads!

Biological, step, adoptive, foster, fur, grand, bonus, chosen, single, dads-to-be, father figures, mentors and all those who love, guide and care like a dad.

Celebrating every kind of Dad today.

Day 2 of spring 🌱

The weather may not feel very springlike just yet… or maybe this is spring in its own way. The bulbs are popping up, quietly reminding us that change is happening beneath the surface and are little signs of the warmer days to come.
