Shopkeepers wore white aprons and school children all wore uniforms. When men came to town they wore top hats and coats with tails. They strolled or rode their horses past teams of oxen dragging their loads up Moorabool Street. What would they think of today’s pedestrians—with jeans, short skirts, tattoos, and body piercing all accompanied with an attitude? Today we cross the street holding our breath to escape the car fumes. In 1857 pedestrians looked down, to avoid stepping into piles of cow or horse manure. 3 1857 Drawing by S.T.Gill Moorabool Street—Looking north from the corner of Little Malop Street In the picture from 1857 a water tank is the dominant feature in Market Square. The town of Geelong was laid out around the harbour—its link to the outside world. However, the nearest fresh water supply was the Barwon River, initially requiring all townsfolk to collect their water from up to 2km away. Eventually a water tank was set up at Market Square to supply the town. Water was carried by horse-drawn cart to supply the tank. The first pump-works to supply the tank were washed away in the flood of 1852 and had to be replaced. Cost to households were about 1 shilling per week (10c) for permission to draw water from the tank, or 10 shillings for a cartload delivered to your home or business premises. 4 1857 Drawing by S.T.Gill Malop Street— from the corner of Moorabool Street looking east. In the picture above the Victoria Hotel dominates the corner position. It remained a Geelong icon up until the 1950’s, noted for its fine service and sumptuous food. In the picture below the Commonwealth Bank has replaced the Victoria Hotel. On the other side of the street, and completed in 1927, the Colonial Mutual Insurance (CML) building dominates the Malop Street vista of Market Square. In the scene below is an object that was initially constructed in 1855. Do you know what it is? 1923. until Square Market in stood which Tower Clock Austin the of part originally Answer: The black clock face in the CML building.

CML the in face clock black The Answer: 5 c.1857 Drawing by S.T.Gill Steam Packet Wharf In the above scene crowds gather around a newly arrived ship, anxious for news from relatives back in England or other parts of Europe. A cannon is mounted on the slope behind the crowd, a public sign of the state of nervousness that existed at the time—that Geelong could be invaded by a foreign power (the Victorian gold rush was in full swing, a powerful incentive for invasion, or so it was thought). The beautiful homes and hotels in the background give evidence of Geelong’s early prosperity which closely followed the gold rush. Below, the scene is dominated by the Carousel Pavilion, completed in 2002. 6 1857 Drawing by S.T.Gill Corner of Moorabool St and Myer St– Looking toward Corio Bay Only 2 blocks up the hill from Market Square, the fine town clothes worn by shoppers were replaced with the street clothes of the working class going about their business. Ox carts were a common sight in Geelong streets, but turned the unpaved roads to dust in Summer and knee deep mud in Winter. Eventually they were banned from entering the town centre all-together, in an effort to keep dust and mud out of shops, and to keep the town traffic moving. In the picture below, the same result is achieved today with bitumen, traffic lights and meter parking. 7 c.1857 Drawing by S.T.Gill Yarra Street— from the corner of Little Malop Street looking north. A dramatic contrast between old and new is seen in these 2 views. Above, mounted soldiers roam the streets, part of a heavy military presence in Geelong and on the Bellarine Peninsula. Their watchful eyes were evidence of the application of strict British law as well as fear of attack from foreign invaders. Below, concrete multi-level car parking and an above-street glass cross-over pamper to the modern shopper. 8 c.1860 Photo by J. Richardson Wyndham Street, Drysdale Up until 1853 nearly all roads on the Bellarine Peninsula crossed private land, and were poorly maintained due to a lack of public funds. In June 1854 the Indented Head Roads Board held its first meeting at the Bucks Head Inn (where the Drysdale Hotel is today), and started to establish a proper road system. In the early days Wyndham Street was travelled by pioneers, bullock wagons, drays and stock, churning it into a muddy strip each winter. The stone structure was probably used for chaff cutting. Today a smooth asphalt pavement rounds the bend in the road, as it heads toward the town centre. 9 c.1860 Corner of Malop Street and Clare Street, Geelong In 1849 the Geelong Advertiser moved from its office in Yarra Street (now part of the Westfield Shopping Centre near Brougham St) to new, purpose built offices at 32 Malop Street as shown above. Reporters and office staff were at the front of the building, while type-setters and the press were located at the back. Its location opposite the Black Bull Hotel and the Cobb & Co coach terminal made it an excellent position to quickly distribute the news throughout Geelong. The busy corner block was occupied by Whyte, Just & Moore Lawyers (until recently sold), next to the popular La Porchetta restaurant. 10 c.1860 Geelong Post Office. Corner of Ryrie Street & Gheringhap Street From the founding of Geelong in 1838 until 1842 the Geelong Post Office was set up in a corner store in what is today South Geelong. Between 1842-1857 the post office was relocated to the offices of the Geelong Advertiser. Finally, in 1857 with funds supplied by the gold rush at Ballarat, a purpose-built post office was con- structed as shown above. It was demolished in 1889 to make way for the larger post office (below), which opened 2 years later. In 1994, after serving the Geelong community for 102 years, the post office was moved up to Little Myers Street. Currently the building below is used for Diversitat Youth Programs and the City of Greater Geelong Youth Development Unit. 11 c.1861 Source: State Library of Victoria Corio Villa. 56 Eastern Beach Road, Geelong Above is pictured Geelong’s most famous house, only 5 years after it was built. Owner Alfred Douglass holds the horse, while his son, Henry P. Douglass is the likely passenger in the dray (cart). Below, the massive trees planted by Alfred Douglass 150 years ago dominate the scene. The weatherboard extension added around 1890 is also visible to the left in the photo. See the April 2014 edition of the Jillong Pocket for further details of this historical Geelong icon. 12 1866 E. de Balk. Alfred Deakin Prime Ministerial Library The Geelong Town Hall. Designed by Joseph Reed in 1855, only the south wing facing Little Malop Street was originally completed. The main frontage and adjoining library were added after 1917. 13 1866 E. de Balk.
