The State Library of NSW holds several collections of photographs taken by Rober Power (including lantern slides 1910-1930) and family papers [call numbers: SLIDES 99; ON 280; MLMSS 7659; SLIDES 135]. The description for one of these collections reads: Robert ('Bob') Danvers Power was born 24 April 1907 in Drummoyne, NSW. His parents were Frederick D. Power and Muriel F. nee Blain. He was educated at Hawkesbury Agricultural College in the early 1920s and purchased land (30 acres) at North Richmond on the banks of the Hawkesbury River, called 'Waterford', later used in commercial and television shows. He was a farmer, conservationist, avid collector and adventurer. He travelled extensively within Australia and overseas and his interests included: photography, trains, bushwalking, local history. He collected artefacts, including the vertebra of a whale which gave Whale Beach its name. He died unmarried and without descendants on 27 June 1997 at North Richmond, bequething parts of his collection to the Powerhouse and Maritime Museums, as well as the local community through the Hawkesbury Museum and the Hawkesbury City Council Library -- information from file ML 36/00.CreatorAO-1 Hawkesbury Agricultural College (HAC)CategoryStudent Cards (Hawkesbury Agricultural College)FormatCardsAspectLandscapeSeriesAS-401 Student card system [Hawkesbury Agricultural College; Hawkesbury Agricultural College of Advanced Education]GraduateYesCourseHawkesbury Diploma of Agriculture (HDA)TownBurwoodPostcode2134StateNSWCountryAustraliaGeospatial data[1] ContributorArchivesArchive TypeState ArchiveTaxonomyArchives | Student Records | Student Cards
