Story Behind The Photograph
Nepean Highway was the lifeline of the Mornington Peninsula, connecting Melbourne with the region's growing seaside communities. This photograph captures Rosebud during a period of rapid growth, when holidaymakers, locals and motorists shared the road through one of Victoria's most popular coastal destinations.
The prominent Atlantic service station, vintage fuel bowsers and classic motor vehicles provide a fascinating glimpse into everyday Australian life during the post-war years. While many of these roadside landmarks have disappeared, images such as this preserve the character and atmosphere of Rosebud as it appeared in the 1950s.
Originally photographed for the Rose Stereograph Company postcard series, this image forms part of an important visual record of Victoria's coastal history.
