I have so many memories of The Port and the Old Port having spent my childhood 1950’s holidays there in the Ship Inn. I remember my father once saying, in a pensive move, that one of his childhood memories in the 1920’s was seeing the three Rutter girls walking along the jetty with their white dresses flapping in the sea breeze.
Australia was settled as a colonial outpost in order to ship goods back to England, based on convict labour and harsh discipline. I don't think the past should be romanticized as some kind of paradise. It was anything but.
Thank you for your feedback. Apart from the music, in which way do you think the video was romanticised? They were certainly hard and exploitative times and it is important that we understand how events of the past evolved into what we have and see today. Your further input may help with the production of similar slideshows in the future.

Beautiful tribute to an important figure in Yarram and Port Albert history showcasing Port's stunning scenery. Good music too.
Thank you for the feedback. The doctor certainly did some impressive things.
Another fabulous video. They always end too soon!

Good Dad memory, never heard him say that but can picture it.
I would love to go back to 1920s (or earlier) Port Albert...just for a glimpse. The white dresses sounds like a Sunday.
