Excellent nostalgic image!

Indeed, it is very nostalgic. I was just 4 when this photo was captured. I hope the young man in this picture is still alive and would definitely be pleased to see this. I think today he is about 70 years old.

Love the shirt!

Any idea what the name of the fish farm/hatchery was?

Castlemaine Perkins is a brewery at 185 Milton Road, Milton, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It is a wholly-owned entity of the Japanese-controlled Lion company. Operations began in 1878 and continue today. Castlemaine Perkins is the home of the XXXX beer brand. In 1877, brothers Nicholas Fitzgerald and Edward Fitzgerald partnered with a Brisbane commercial firm to buy the site of a failing distillery and establish a brewery, named for the Fitzgeralds' existing Castlemaine Brewery.[1] They began to brew beer there in the following year and the brewery continues production to this day. The first beverage was called XXX Sparkling Ale.[2] In 1866, Patrick Perkins started the Perkins Brewery in Toowoomba. In 1872, he later extended his operations to Brisbane with the purchase of the City Brewery in 1872.[3] The company restricted its operations entirely to brewing by 1916.[4] XXXX was introduced with a new advertising campaign in 1924 after the brewery employed German brewer, Alois William Leitner.[2] The advertising included a depiction of a little man wearing a suit with a smile, a wink, and a boater hat. The so-called 'Forex Man' soon became one of the most recognized symbols in Queensland.[2] In 1928 (long after the death of Patrick Perkins in 1901), the Perkins brewing company was bought by the Castlemaine Brewery with the new company being known as Castlemaine Perkins Limited.[3] In March 1980, Castlemaine Perkins merged with Tooheys to form Castlemaine Tooheys.[5] Bond Corporation purchased Castlemaine Tooheys in 1985.[6] Castlemaine Tooheys was acquired in 1992 by Lion Nathan.

Being pedantic this is bottled - not canned - food. Bottling is a process that can be carried out in a home environment and I imagine the whole purpose of the photo was to encourage women to grow and preserve their own food during the war. Bottling only requires strong glass jars with an airtight seal but no other special equipment. Canning can be carried out on a small scale but is usually a factory process on a commercial scale in view of the special equipment needed..

Please learn how to spell! Vegetable is spelled with an E, not an A...

In American English "canning" means preserving fruits or vegetables in either metal cans or glass jars.

I respectfully disagree with John. The word canning does not mean metal only. In fact, it has nothing to do at all with the container it is in. It is actually a method of food preservation. Whether in a tin can or a jar, matters not. This method of food preservation is where food is processed and sealed in an airtight container. That's all it means.
