The history of Elwood is as diverse and surprising as our suburb today. ‘Flood, Fire and Fever’ celebrates the natural, built and cultural heritage of Elwood from pre-European times, to quarantine stations and coal mines at Point Ormond to the trams that used to trundle past our front door. By sponsoring this book, the Elwood Community Bank hopes that Elwood residents and visitors past, present and future, are able to gain a better understanding of events that have gone before and how they have shaped our ‘village’ today. Congratulations to Meyer Eidelson and the St Kilda Historical Society for an excellent publication. The shareholders, customers and supporters of the Elwood Community Bank hope you enjoy learning more about our village and our community. We believe that this book will become a valued community resource and copies will be widely available through libraries, local schools……..and at the bank!
