Description
WOOLENOOK BEND, MURRAY RIVER, SA 1944-02-03. LOVEDAY INTERNMENT GROUP. A WOOD CUTTING CAMP UTILISING JAPANESE INTERNEE LABOUR WAS SET UP IN 1942. IT SUPPLIED FUEL URGENTLY NEEDED BY INDUSTRIES IN THE RIVER DISTRICTS. NO SOIL EROSION PROBLEM HERE. NEW GROWTH HAS ALREADY STARTED ON STUMPS WHICH WERE PURPOSEFULLY NOT GRUBBED OUT AFTER THE INTERNEES HAD REMOVED ALL USABLE WOOD. (PHOTOGRAPHER SGT H. K. CULLEN)
