On the ipad, hold your finger on the image until **Save Image** pops up and then save it to the photo gallery of the ipad. That will make it easier to do a comparative shot.

Here I ahve chosen an extract from the day she landed at Ralway pier and what she saw.

 * 19-year-old Ally Heathcote migrated from England with her family in 1874 on the iron-hulled auxiliary steamship Northumberland. Ally’s journal details many particulars about life on board during the voyage – the characters, the climate, the food, her family’s health and day-to-day routines.

November 17th
|| After we left the boat we walked across the railway pier up to the station, we had first class tickets given us from the Ship Owners as our passage was paid up to Melbourne, we had to wait till a train came up and as soon as we had sat down, they came and locked us in, and off we steamed to Hobsons Bay Railway Station in Melbourne. As we sat in the train we could see along the bay all the ships at anchor, then a little farther we crossed the Yarra Yarra, and presently the train steamed into the station, then the guard came and let us out, when we got outside the station any amount of cabmen wanted to drive us to our destination, I expect they could see we were new comers. The first that amused me were the gutters, as there is no sewerage and the water is allowed to run in streams along the streets, and as it had been raining they were going along at a good speed, and looked like miniature Yarra’s. We walked along till we came to a cab stand and hired one and drove off through Melbourne into Brunswick St in Fitzroy, where Uncle Macker lives. We saw Uncle and cousins, and after they promised to come to Northcote at night, we drove off again. ||
