Statement of significance

This object is part of a collection that represents the districts once strong community and social links to the British Empire. The collection is significant as it can tell the story of a community that had social, family, economic and cultural links back to Great Britain. Following Australian Federation in 1901 the district like much of the country was predominately made up of people with British heritage. In the 1960s and 1970s the district was a popular spot for British migrants which ensured the district retained many of these links for decades to come.
