Hi, I'm Darren

I created OKRetro to preserve and share Australia's visual history through carefully restored archival photographs from 1930–1955.

If there's a town, beach, pub, railway station, workplace or local landmark you'd love to see from Australia's past, send me a request below. I'll search public archives and see if a suitable photograph can be added to the OKRetro Australian Heritage Collection.

Every print begins with a story, and your suggestion could help uncover another piece of Australian history.
