see all of the 700+ still pictures taken by Ron, his brother Alan*, and various
others.
(They do feature a number of Wallace family pictures
round Melbourne in the early pages)
I have loaded the video files onto Youtube and the
links for the individual files are below.
Apologies, but you can only see one at a time, you
will then need to use the <back> button on your browser to return here.
Further apologies for all the videos of the steam-pump at Sovereign Hill but I
thought it was beautiful and hypnotic.
All the best, (Snapper) Ron

A bit of family history ...
| *Alan Wallace joined AUBC
in c 1966 and, by doing so, introduced rowing to the Wallace clan.
The FWM pictures above feature various shots of him and his family - some older viewer of this site may remember Alan from his racing days |
