Is there a book about Churchill Island?

A common sight for Churchill Island before the road from the bridge to the homestead was raised: high tide flood, from the CI collection gradually being uploaded onto victoriancollections.net.au The road does still flood a few times per year with very high tides. Thanks to curator Samantha Happe for catgaloguing so many of CI's photo collection onto this online cataloguing website. This work was made much easier by the sorting by FOCIS volunteers, the registering of the photos by CI volunteer Lin, and commencement of hard copy cataloguing by CI volunteer Simon. A great team effort! ... See MoreSee Less
