The former Flower Farm - Blackburn Lake Park

This short silent movie was made in 1912, showing the Deaf Mutes Flower Farm, in  Central Rd, Blackburn. This was produced by the Adult Deaf Mutes Society of Victoria, which later became the Adult Deaf and Dumb Society of Victoria and later VicDeaf. The film shows the original Administration building, built in 1909, demolished in 1969. The land is now partly occupied by the facilities of the Blackburn Lake Park, managed by Whitehorse City Council.
