Mountains, Mud and Migrants
A history of West Moonah/Springfield — told through photography, sound, artwork and interviews
Developed in 2008/09, this project tells stories of a failed ‘Garden City’ development, the post war migrants who purchased land to build their homes, the mud and sewerage legacy of the failed subdivision, and finally the tenacity and commitment of a community to their home and suburb as they fought for their right to the basic services that the rest of Hobart enjoyed.
Chigwell History Project
From Barns to Bank Houses
This project was initiated in 2005 by the Berriedale/Chigwell Precinct Committee from a desire to know more about the history of their area and to bring together members of the Chigwell Community through the collection and recording of community history.
