This old postcard image of Mount Lyell Mine is really amazing, in case you all haven't seen it.

  1. Oh, that's gorgeous! Can TS use this postcard? I was thinking it would be a great smaller (postcard size) photo for the timeline/map.

  2. I'm sure you can (fair-use for educational purposes, no commercial reproduction involved, etc.) I found it by doing a simple google image search (there are more where that one came from).

  3. Great photo--and great synopsis of the Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company. Airielle - your group can probably use quite a bit of that in your section.

    1. Looks like it! I'll have to make sure Cristian sees this too (he's doing the Mt. Lyell/Mine didactic panel and related pictures).

      Should I include a couple of the important dates for Mt. Lyell Mines itself on the timeline, although some might not directly pertain to George?

  4. You're doing a chronology, vs. timeline right? And yes, things that don't related directly to George might be important context. We can edit it out if it goes too far. I think we talked about having closure, reopening, and recent mine accident included (although I think if that goes anywhere, it will be in Cristian's panel?).

    1. Yes, you're right. The overall history of Mt. Lyell is going to go into Cristian's large panel (on the pillar to the right of the nook). But I'll gather some important events that happened during the time George lived in Tasmania. If you think it fits we can slip those into the chronology.
