Our books will be on sale and you are welcome to become a member of the Society. Free entry and everyone is welcome! \nThe following snapshot of history is paraphrased from “Chelsea: a Beachside Community” by Frank McGuire.\nBefore white settlers arrived\, first nations people\, The Bunurong\, knew the area as Karrum Karrum. Kangaroos and emu were to be found along the lightly wooded coast\, colonies of koalas were in the Manna Gums along the Isles of Wannak Laddin (modern day Chelsea Heights) and the swamp was teeming with birdlife. From the top of Olivers Hill the Bunurong would have seen the ribbon of sand running from present day Aspendale to Carrum. The swamp stretched about fifteen kilometres north/south from the Mordialloc Creek and ran about five kilometres inland. Development began with fishing and cattle farming and as people discovered the beautiful beaches\, the area became a popular seaside resort. By the turn of the twentieth century there was camping on the foreshore and guest houses were established\, and the draining of the swamp commenced in 1879 with the Patterson Cut. Land sales began in 1865 and the swamp was thrown open for selection in 1871. \n \nClick on flyer to enlarge.

SUMMARY:Cranbourne Shire Historical Society - The Cranbourne Meteorite
DESCRIPTION:Cranbourne Shire Historical Society  – The guest speaker for the  November 28\, 2024 meeting is Sean Murphy. 7.30 pm start. He will talk about his book – The Cranbourne Meteorite. \nAuthor and Berwick resident Sean Murphy’s The Cranbourne Meteorite tells the story between local colonial scientists and the British government for the ownership of Cranbourne No.1 fragment in the 1860s. Cranbourne meteorite has 13 fragments that are strewn across a 20-kilometre corridor from Pakenham to Langwarrin. A Casey resident for more than twenty years\, Mr Murphy was always looking for a local topic to explore. In 2018\, Sean stumbled across a podcast episode about a “Cranbourne Meteorite”. He did some investigating at the State Library and online databases to form his story. “There are a lot of meteorite-related books and things out there. But on this topic\, but I was curious that no one had ever really written a book” he said. \nCranbourne Meteorite is known to a lot of people in this area because many years ago\, council put up a display on the South Gippsland Highway in Cranbourne\, hanging some fragments. The Cranbourne Meteorite also explores the stories around other fragments\, meteorites in Australia\, and fun geology and biology knowledge. \nRSVP ESSENTIAL Please email Barry at pauline.freeman2@bigpond.com or Sue at susantobin@bigpond.com. Numbers attending will govern the location of the talk which will be either the Tooradin Hall or the Fishermans Cottage Museum\, Foreshore Road\, Tooradin.
