Some of the subjects of the post cards produced by Ernest Fysh
were Aboriginal people from Coranderrk, near Healseville. From the mid 1800s
until just after World War One Coranderrk was the site of an "Aboriginal
Mission". For further information about Coranderrk, follow these links:

These post cards depict Aboriginal people, and were taken in the early 1900s. There are available here to give insight into the life style and attitudes of the time. Please do not proceed if you may be offended.
