Country Roads Board Photographs

The Country Roads Board was established in 1913 to maintain major roads in Victoria. Previous to this all roads were the responsibility of the local councils. The Public Records Office has digitised much of the CRB's photographic collection, you can access them here.  In two other posts I shown the Princes Highway photographs (see here) and the South Gippsland Highway photos from this region (see here). This post show four other photos of the area.
