The information is then gathered and published with the following week's Golden Oldie and on Facebook.
This week's photo was taken way back in 1954 of Bombala schoolboy footballers. Do you recognise anyone?
Last week's Golden Oldie was of a fundraising event taken in 1940.
According to an article written by Frances Ingram of Tombong South the photo was taken at the Red Cross and Hospital Carnival organised to raise funds for the Delegate Hospital and the Red Cross.
Renowned artist Hilda Rix Wright was in charge of decorations and by all accounts she surpassed herself with her organisational skills and artistic inspiration.
The theme was Old English with the idea carried throughout the stalls and the costumes of the stall holders helped to complete the effect.
The photograph was taken out the front of Hilda's home, Knockalong that she and her husband, Edgar Wright had transformed into a French Style Manor House.
The home was destroyed by the 1984 bushfires however her studio is still standing.
Dressed in period costume for the Red Cross Fete in 1940 from left are Kitty Stewart, Sheila O'Hare, Valma McKay, ?, Edna Ingram, Gwen Jeffreys, the school teachers wife, Rua Liddle, Dorothy O'Hare, Hazel McKay, Joan Liddle, Mollie Jenkins and Julie Turton.
