Description
Two men on horse back riding across a treeless, rocky plain towards a herd of cattle on the right of the photograph. Two other riders on horseback can be seen herding the cattle. Note the men have just crossed a small expanse of water in the foreground of the photograph, possibly Coopers Creek, SA. One of a series of photographs taken by C. E. W. Bean during a trip he made in 1914 to Coopers Creek, SA with the South Australian Parliamentary Committee. The purpose of this trip was to research the condition of Aboriginal camps and Missions in South Australia. Photographs from the private collection of C. E. W. Bean held at AWM38 3DRL 6673.
