"Views in Kimberley Country"

An unidentified member of the Kimberley Exploring Expedition in 1911-1912, most likely Roy N. Collison or Julius Orlebar Murray-Prior, looks across a river in the Kimberley region. This photograph was most likely taken by Charles Price Conigrave, leader of the Kimberley Exploring Expedition in 1911-1912, who sold copies of his photographs subsequently 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.
