They were a large concern, with stores across Melbourne, and paid their workers on the third Thursday of the month. Further down from the butchers was another butchers, an umbrella shop, and on the corner with Margaret Street were H. Wood & Co., seeds-men.

View Instagram post by mooneevalleylibraries"It is mankind, rather, who insists upon making it difficult for life to exist upon this planet."
In Alfred Hitchcock’s `The Birds`, a small coastal town is suddenly attacked by large flocks of aggressive birds. Without explanation for the strange events, the community struggles to survive the escalating attacks. The film blends everyday settings with unexpected danger, creating a suspenseful story of human vulnerability. Starring Tippi Hedren.
119 minutes. Rated PG. Films are screened with subtitles where possible.
