Summary
Patch presented in 1995 by the Swan Hill Women on Farms Gathering committee for the Women on Farms Gathering perpetual banner. The theme for the Swan Hill Gathering was 'As Many As We Are One'. The patch is now attached to the perpetual banner which is used at the Gathering each year.
Part of Museums Victoria's Invisible Farmer Project Collection. The Invisible Farmer Project was the largest ever study of Australian women on the land, uncovering the histories and stories of Australian women in agriculture and addressing the absence of rural women in mainstream histories and museums. It began as a pilot project (2015-2016) and evolved into a three year (2017-2020) nation-wide partnership between rural communities, academic, government and cultural organisations, funded by the Australian Research Council.
Physical Description
Light blue, square fabric patch featuring a dark blue, printed logo. The oval logo features the text: 'As Many We Are One: WOF.' Below this logo a printed ribbon reads: 'SWAN HILL/1995'. The printing has been applied in flock.
