The discovery of gold in Ballarat in 1851 resulted in the rapid residential expansion of nearby Geelong, Victoria. The previously modest population was, by the mid-1800s, teetering around 23,000. The community had its own newspaper, hospital and wool industry, with a well-positioned port providing the means to both import and export goods. Located 75km north of its closest rival in size at the time, Melbourne, the bustling area quickly introduced a range of public facilities to support a growing business and residential hub. A railway between Geelong and Melbourne was up and running in 1857, and four years later the well-known Bright and Hitchcocks department store had become a favoured shopping outlet for locals. Landmarks such as this have often been documented by booklet printers in Geelong. The team here at Minuteman Press use the latest technology to produce top-quality Booklets featuring some of the city’s historic sights.
Geelong was also home to former Victorian Premier Graham Berry, who served in the position between 1877-1880, 1880-81, and 1885. Geelong can also lay claim to making the state’s first long-distance call on a telephone, which took place in January 1878. Booklet printers in Geelong may also have recorded the fact that the area had also once hosted a prosperous wine industry.
