A man wearing a trench coat and hat sitting in a dark coloured auotomobile on the far side of a wooden fence and gate. The gate is partly open and probably marks the entrance to a homestead property, probably near Coopers Creek, SA. Note the chicken wire used to cover the fence and gate in the foreground. A flat fenced padock and several gum trees can be seen in the background and on the left of the photograph. 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.
