Border mail photos 1999
A blast from the past!
The Border Mail is a regional newspaper based in Albury, New South Wales, Australia. In 1999, the newspaper's photo department would have been capturing the news and events of the region. Here are a few photos from the Border Mail archives for 1999:
- Albury's floodwaters: In March 1999, heavy rainfall caused the Murray River to burst its banks, flooding parts of Albury. The Border Mail captured dramatic photos of the floodwaters, including this one showing a submerged car on Kiewa Street.
- Wodonga's new hospital: In June 1999, the new Wodonga Regional Hospital was officially opened. The Border Mail took photos of the hospital's facilities, including this one showing the hospital's emergency department.
- Albury's centenary celebrations: In October 1999, Albury celebrated its centenary. The Border Mail captured photos of the celebrations, including this one showing a parade through the city's main street.
- Snowy Mountains bushfires: In December 1999, bushfires swept through the Snowy Mountains, forcing evacuations and destroying homes. The Border Mail took photos of the fires, including this one showing a firefighter battling a blaze in the Kosciuszko National Park.
These are just a few examples of the many photos published in the Border Mail in 1999. If you're looking for specific photos or information, I recommend contacting the newspaper's archives or searching online for digitized copies of the newspaper from that year.
