The Diamond Valley Story offers a captivating journey through the region’s rich local history, beginning with its exploration in the 1830s and continuing through to its separation from the Shire of Heidelberg. The narrative features a diverse cast of characters—explorers, early settlers, goldminers, bushrangers, artists, tradespeople, entrepreneurs, railway workers, and orchardists—who helped shape the Valley’s identity. Vivid scenes bring to life pioneer homes, natural disasters like floods and fires, sporting events, schools, social gatherings, courtrooms, hospitals, and local pubs. Many of the photographs showcased are the work of Albert Jones, a talented Wattle Glen photographer whose remarkable collection preserves the people, places, and moments that defined the Diamond Valley.
