Bill Rawson worked at Robinson Process Engravers, Latrobe Street, Melbourne, as a typesetter. His father, Robert, was a timber worker (and gold miner) and built the house at 6 Woodville Avenue, Glen Huntly. This house was eventually left to Caroline who sold it in about 1970 to go into a retirement unit. Bill and Caroline owned 3 acres at Launching Place and had a small house on the land, known as "The Shack". I have some of Caroline's and Bill's confetti from their wedding, some of which I donated to Museum Victoria.
