These photographs have been taken in Port Campbell National Park, along the coastline where Tom Delaney and the illicit distillers used to travel. Horse and carts or horse back was the normal mode of transport. The stills were a short distance inland from the coastal town of Peterborough. The coastal area is nowadays known as Port Campbell National Park.

Our thanks to Mrs Rosamund Duruz

Our thanks go to Mrs Duruz formerly of Oxford UK, a French teacher at Timboon High school, historian and learned scholar, a the woman whose tireless efforts in the 1970s in walking miles to petition and collect signatures to eventually achieve her vision of having the coastline made into a National Park so that the world could cherish and view the incredible natural landscape.

Death of a Forest.

An excellent book which tells of the transition of the area from forest to farming, written by R Duruz and photgraphs by S Duruz.
