Former FOCIS secretary Christine is currently going through some FOCIS files. Here is an interesting photo that turned up in a 2014 email from Bushcare to FOCIS, letting FOCIS know that ABC's Gardening Australia would be filming there in that year: Costa from ABC's Gardening Australia having a nice time with Bushcare's Don Wilson and (former PM) Bob Hawk, Bushcare's "Major Day Out" was also featured on GA in that season. Though not a very good quality image, it is an interesting record! FOCIS will try to track down the GA footage they filmed in CI garden. ... See MoreSee Less

Holidays almost over? Don't forget to include our beautiful Churchill Island in your itinerary! Farmers' market on tomorrow, but just a tip - when exiting on to the Phillip Island Rd, it's easier to turn left and get back to Cowes via the Newhaven roundabout. It's only a few more minutes and may save you lots of time waiting to do a right hand turn, thereby holding up others wanting to exit from CI. ... See MoreSee Less

What a treasure trove of Churchill Island history the CI image collection publicly available on the victoriancollections.net.au is! Here is an image of three FOCIS friends who were volunteer 'guides' about 30 years ago: l-r: Jean Jamieson, from Beach St Cowes, Madeline Vegter and her husband Hank Vegter. The Vegters built the original stone house above Swan Lake on the Ventnor Rd near the Penguin Parade. While they travelled around Australia, they would collect seed from all sorts of native and other plants and grow them on at home and either plant them nearby or give them to friends to plant. There may even well be some of their 'plant babies' on Churchill Island! The mantelpiece looks great back in this era. We are not sure what became of the print above the mantelpiece here, which was a well-known one of a pair popular in early 20th century in Australia. Unfortunately the paper was not good quality and few of these remain intact these days. ... See MoreSee Less

New signage advertising Churchill Island on the main road includes the Heritage Garden, but not the Heritage Buildings. Rogers Cottages are the oldest publicly accessible buildings in Bass Coast. Amess House may well be the oldest publicly accessible homestead in Bass Coast. Thanks to good management and grants, all are in very good condition. Either way, both the gardens and the Heritage buildings are well worth a look. Photo shows road sign, featuring CI's famous Kelpie sheep dog "Rip". ... See MoreSee Less
