Another foray into Harry Beanham's early Australian motorcyling photographs.....

In an earlier blog I introduced Harry Beanham to you....key his name in the search facility at the top of this blog....
I spent an afternoon scanning in the small 3" x 2" sepia photographs, the vast majority unlabeled, that I have in former photo albums of Harry's....
Regretably, other than one or two, most have nothing on them to indicate where or when they were taken...I did a bit of sleuthing...
But, there is a message for us there, me included....please write on the back of your photographic prints what they are.....
We don't want another generation wondering as we are.....
The photos are in the area NW of Melbourne in the Kinglake region....certainly Bowden Spur Road is there....
Bowden Spur Road goes towards Kinglake, Victoria....
Kinglake was one of the towns devastated in the January 2009 Victorian bushfires that took nearly 200 lives.....
They are of interest for the motorcycles and the people or rather the way they dressed for motorcycling at that time....
The same the world over.....
