STORY BEHIND THE PHOTOGRAPH

During the 1950s, the Mornington Peninsula was becoming an increasingly popular destination for holidaymakers seeking coastal scenery, relaxed hospitality and a slower pace of life.

This photograph captures the Dava Hotel, a well-known local landmark that served residents and visitors to the region. Surrounded by coastal vegetation and traditional architecture, the hotel reflects the character of a period when Victoria's seaside towns were growing while still retaining their small-town charm.

Restored from Australian archival collections, this image preserves a distinctive piece of Mornington Peninsula history. Presented as a framed print, it celebrates the heritage of one of Victoria's best-known coastal communities while bringing a nostalgic connection to Australia's past into the modern home.
