Gordon & Irene Jefferies Family Photo Album

These are my (Max's) parents.

Snapshots from the old Family Album

This is a small sample of the photos in our old family album, going back many years. The photos are scanned from old prints or transparencies (slides), and were taken by Max Jefferies or a member of my family, or on our behalf, and copyright is retained by us in all cases. Due to the age and deterioration of the prints and transparencies, image quality may be rather poor in some cases.

All photos are copyrighted and are not to be used for any purpose.

Plenty of mud crabs around back then and we made pots to catch fish as well. A lot different these days.

My Dad's truck caught fire in the bush when he was bringing out a saw bench converted on the back of an old car.

The "Mile End Saw Mill Co." was built at the rear of our block and was a full-fledged operation.

During is working life it burnt down to the ground twice with no insurance to cover the loss for my parents.

the heavens declare...

Ken Ham and Dr. Jason Lisle discuss the most-asked questions about astronomy and the Bible, including how creation scientists are approaching the distant starlight problem and how the big bang theory has its own time/space problem.

It’s a great time to be a creation scientist in the field of astronomy!
