And excellent photo Philtee of the old Junction Hotel.
I've not seen that one before.
(Its tower is definitely is the right location for the hotel in the Junction Oval pic. Good get!)

My only memory of the Junction Hotel is driving back from the '66 GF in the family Holden stationwagon, and seeing RW+B flags and banners flying from every window as we drove through the junction. What a sight!

I'm running an urban design competition for uni students next semester on the future redevelopment of StKilda Junction. The old Junction was great. We need to to recapture some of that greatness in any design for the future.
Any more historic photos of the Junction would be fantastic to have.
Reggie and Philtee, if you could tell me where I could source yours, that would be very useful and much appreciated.
Hi Avid
I'm archiving my parents old slides in which I found the photo. My first attempt I only saved at 300dpi I'm now scanning at 600 dpi. I'll re-scan later tonight put it on a host web site where you can grab it

Don't know if this photo has been posted on SS before.
Even if it has, it is worth another look.
It looks like the ol' Junction Oval.
Does anyone know these two people?
The cap that the guy on the right is wearing were very popular in the 1970's, and hand or home machine knitted scarfs were even more popular.

Hi avid,
All I did was a google "image" search using "St Kilda Junction" as the search string and it came up with all sorts
of old pics.
