Photos and ideas...

A couple of families so far have shared some vivid photographic images of Lake Tyers as it was many years ago, after the turn of the 19th century.

These are exciting images of days gone by and give a glimpse of the world as it was then.

It would be unfair to say these were the "good old days" for many of the inhabitants of Lake Tyers, but never the less we are very grateful for the opportunty through these photos to reflect on what was, and what might have been.

Even the european influence has been here for so long some of it has already been consigned to the history books. Check it out also for the bigger picture.

So these modern photos are also building our history for tomorrow.

	There are some interesting relics from the days of steam and extensive logging to be found at the Mingling Waters Cafe at Nowa Nowa. The Tressle Bridge just before you come into Nowa Nowa from Lakes Entrance is a fascinating insight into the times when wood was the main building material.
