Step into the lens of Arnold Playle, a pioneering Corryong photographer whose work captured the essence of the Upper Murray from the 1880s onward.
Born in Geelong, Arnold moved to Corryong in 1883 and became a prominent local figure – watchmaker, jeweller, landowner, and historian. His legacy lives on through
stunning glass plate photographs, lovingly preserved and digitised by his descendants, including Mark Whitehead.
This exhibition, supported by the Man from Snowy River Museum, showcases Arnold’s remarkable visual record of Corryong’s early life – buildings, landscapes, and the people who shaped our town.
A heartfelt thank you to the Playle and Whitehead families, and the late Jim Nicholas, for preserving this priceless history.
