Ken McKimmie is an expert of early Mount Alexander township history. His historical photographs of Castlemaine are regularly featured in the Castlemaine Mail’s ‘Let’s take a look back‘ column. Ken is the author of ‘Chewton, Then and Now’.

In this lecture, a vast trove of early photographs and images will be shown and expertly interpreted to demonstrate the development of Castlemaine from the Goldrush through to today. Most photographs will be unknown to the audience.
