On behalf of ZombieCake who is too busy to post right now...
Series of photos taken to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the MCG a few years ago showcasing the equipment from each of the decades that the group has been in existence. Recreation is from roughly the middle of each decade. Photos were all taken in the same location in Swildons Hole. The photos were edited to give the feel of the photographic media in use at the time...
