A timber yard, probably on the Darling River seen from the opposite bank. Note the large logs in the background. Two paddle-steamers can be seen moored to the far river bank and a barge ladden with logs is visible in the right of the photograph. 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.
