Historic Photo Exhibition

Next date: Monday, 12 May 2025 | 02:00 PM to Sunday, 18 May 2025 | 12:00 PM

Step back in time during the Moyne historic photo exhibition! QR codes will be scattered around the Shire, located at select historic places and buildings. Bring your smart device along, scan the QR code, and be transported to the past to see how our Shire looked way back when!

The historic photo exhibition for the Australian Heritage Festival will give viewers a look into the past with nearly 30 historic photos linked to QR codes around the Shire. The QR codes are printed on signs located outside of select historic places and buildings. Simply find a sign, scan the QR code with your smart device, and be transported to the past to view a historic photo of the place or building! 

The QR codes will be available throughout the duration of the festival from April to May. They will be located in power poles, fences, or shop fronts, and some are positioned across the road from the building they relate to - so visitors may need to look around carefully.

If you’re interested in spending a little more time in the past, continue to explore the historic photos on the Victorian Collections pages linked to the Port Fairy, Koroit, and Mortlake Historical Societies. Here is an online map of all locations.

The historical societies involved include:

• Port Fairy Historical Society Museum and Archives
• Koroit and District Historical Society
• Macarthur and District Historical Society
• Mortlake and District Historical Society
• Peterborough History Group
