  This is Moorabool street facing north, between Myers st and Little Ryrie street. Many of these buildings are still standing.

  Mrs. Adriana Zevenbergen (lit. seven mountains), the 100,000th Dutch migrant after the war, buys a cauliflower from Mrs. Wilhelmina Hofstede in the Australian port of Geelong. Australia, Geelong, March 1959.

  I notice that there is an Aussie named Kelly Zevenbergen on Facebook -- who could, I'm guessing, be this woman's granddaughter? Another photo of the emigrating Zevenbergens is in the Australian National Archives: naa12.naa.gov.au/scripts/PhotoSearchItemDetail.asp?M=0&am... My forebears emigrated from the Netherlands also, coming to Michigan USA in the 1870s. My parents were very excited to return to visit relatives in 1956; they discovered that they could still remember the Dutch language that they had learned as children, from their parents speaking it at home.

• Yvette Hoitink said:

  Zevenbergen (wiki) is also the name of a town in the Dutch province of Noord-Brabant, which seems like a more logical explanation of her name.
