The Search Begins.

This might seem like a fairly humble blip but for me it is just so so significant.

Some time ago my big brother Allan46 sent me a link to the State Library of Victoria taking me to images of my Great Grandfather Matthew Wall. I had always known that Great Grandfather was a professional photographer but this seeing these images really made my heart skip a beat.

This afternoon CCN and I drove to St Kilda and started the search to try and locate some of the areas that Great Grandfather worked in. Tomorrow I'm going to the State Library to see if I can see some of the online images in person.

Inkerman Street is where it obviously started for him and today I was thrilled to see that it was still there and in fact on of the main thoroughfares in St Kilda. The old St Kilda Post Office in the background has just been decommissioned which is a shame as it's such a lovely old building.
