First Young Explorers of Ashgrove History Family Exploration Map

Can you find this photo somewhere on our first family history exploration?

 Hi Young Explorers of Ashgrove History.

Lindy and Daryll would like you to have your first look at some of Ashgrove's history before you come to our first free  'Y.E.A.H' workshop if you can.

To make it easier and more fun we've created a Google map called - 'First Young Explorers of Ashgrove History Family Exploration Map' for you to find on your computer and visit three different interesting places in Ashgrove. They make pleasant walks for the whole family.

If you click on the Google map icons ( the 'P', the 2 green houses with flags, the football player, and the 'arrow and star') you'll find some suggestions and questions.

Don't forget, if you can tell us what the first two shiny steel plaques on the Ashgrove 150 History trail say, there will be a  little reward for you at our workshop on the 10th November, 2012 at the library (don't forget to book in).

You can click on the map below for a larger view and then print it out or carry it on your iPad or smartphone.

If you would like to take some photos or do some drawings and bring them along to the first workshop we would love to see them and add them to our YEAH blog.

Why is Miss Fahey important in Ashgrove's history?

I wonder if you can guess why we think Miss Fahey is one of Ashgrove's living treasures? 

You might have to look carefully. 

Sometimes it is the small things that make history interesting and give us clues about how people lived in different times.

Which of the four photos do you think Miss Fahey is part of?
