HISTORY

This brochure was used by a real estate agent to sell land near the naval base at Crib Point, in the Parish of Balnarring. The Flinders Naval Depot was renamed HMAS Cerberus in 1921. The Oswin family migrated to Melbourne from Kilby, Leicestershire, England in 1945 with nine of their ten children. In the early 1860s John Oswin selected Lot 55a, Agricultural Area of Mount Macmahon, County of Mornington, Parish of Balnarring containing 139 acres.
