A settlers’ farm (Australia, 1910), possibly somewhere in the Kanimbla, Megalong or Burragorang Valleys, and near permanent water like the Coxs River.A man stands in the foreground watching the camera, as a woman in a white pinafore and a child pose in front of a picket and wire fence. To the left is a building of vertical, split slab and shingle roof construction. The house on the rift is made of weatherboard and corrugated iron; it has three doors beneath the front verandah, with reclining chairs and a small table (with turned cotton-reel legs) among the furniture. Two tents are pitched in the grounds, one partially beneath a fruit or ornamental tree. Three sapling props are supporting a long clothesline, and ducks are scurrying past it. There is a burnt rubbish heap with tin cans and broken glass in the foreground. -- source link
