Description
Two men with a saddled horse next to a large wooden fence, probably taken on a shearing property in western NSW. One man is squatting down drawning directions in the dirt and the second man is bending over to watch. Published in "On the Wool Track" in 1910 with caption "If an Australian has anything to explain, this is the way he does it". One of a series of photographs taken by C. E. W. Bean during two trips he made in 1908 and 1909 to regional NSW as a journalist for the Sydney Morning Herald. The purpose of these trips was to research the wool industry of western NSW and the transportation and railway possibilities of the Darling River region. Photographs from the private collection of C. E. W. Bean held at AWM38 3DRL 6673.
