Chocolate Grove’s Living History Centre

The Living History Centre presents Australia’s Chocolate and Confectionery “ICONS” through what was some spectacular packaging, incredible graphic design, and wonderful products. Very few of the household names have survived.

But who can forget the Violet Crumble Bar, Polly Waffle, Cherry Ripe, Freddo Frog, Minties, Fantales, Throaties, Jaffas and Fruit Tingles, to name but a few. The inspiration for the establishment of our ”Living History Centre” on Australian Chocolate and Confectionery was the father of the Australian industry – MacPherson Robertson.

Some years ago, when my wife and I used to lecture on chocolate, the doyens of the industry would often share their fascinating stories, when we displayed packaging developed by MacRobertson, Hoadleys, Allens, Darrell Lea, and Ernest Hiller amongst others. We now have the basis of a “history centre” with some brilliant packaging, advertising material and photos.

A number of articles have been written and these have been used to provide a potted picture of some companies.There are gaps though! We have yet to talk to Cadbury and Nestle, who took over many of these companies. We want this to be a living growing centre that captures more history from the public – in written, verbal, and physical form.

  
  

We are passionate about this project and want future generations to benefit from its survival. Our chocolate and confectionery forefathers had a grand tradition of making some amazing products with beautiful packaging and advertising. They also were significant contributors to our country – this is a story that deserves to be told.
