Page 16 of an album of photographs either taken or 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 and wrote the accompanying captions. Images are of: "Races in the northwest - the judge's box" (album caption); "Travelling in the N.W" (album caption); Finishing post at the Wyndham races; a bull in the Kimberley; "A station homestead. N.W" (album caption), and two women, probably of the Durack family, observe the view from a freshly cut road, most likely Button's Gap. Button's Gap was named after one of the well known drovers of the Durack family, Robert Button. He found the most efficient way to move the cattle through the Deception Range on the way to the Port of Wyndham. The Gap is approximately six kilometres from Ivanhoe Station.
