Description
The Kimberley Exploring Expedition reaches Adolphus Island. This is a cropped version of an original taken by Charles Price Conigrave, leader of the Kimberley Exploring Expedition in 1911-1912. C. Price Conigrave subsequently sold botanical specimens and copies of his photographs to offset expedition expenses. One of a series of photographs collected by Roy Cecil Phillipps (later Squadron Leader R.C Phillipps MC & Bar DFC) when employed by the pastoralist firm Connor, Doherty & Durack Ltd in the Kimberley region of Western Australia from 1912 until his enlistment in the AIF in April 1915. The photographs were sent to his mother in Perth, Mrs Cecil R. Phillipps, who arranged them in an album. See image at P08151.022
