The Cascade Brewery is the oldest operating brewery in Australia dating back to 1832. It will forever hold my affection as I grew up on Cascade Road, and used to play with the head brewers son. Depicted is the brewery estate C1890 and it was the land in the foreground, originally the Cascade Gardens, which was subdivided. Next is a Xmas card dating to about 1905 with Mount Wellington in the background.

"The heavy port drinker must be prepared to make some sacrifice of personal beauty and agility. Its martyrs are usually well content with the bargain, and in consolation it may be remarked that a red nose never lost a friend worth holding and that by universal testimony the sharpest attacks of gout are preceded by a period of peculiar mental lucidity"
