Description

Group portrait of the 'Men from Snowy River' route march for recruitment outside the public luncheon rooms, Goulburn NSW. The march started on 6 January 1916 at Delegate, NSW, and took a route through Craigie, Mila, Bombala, Bibbenluke, Holt’s Flat, Nimitybelle (Nimmitabel), Summer Hill, Rock’s Flat, Cooma, Bunyan, Umeralla, Billylingera, Bredbo, Colinton, Michelago, Williamsdale, Queanbeyan, Bungendore, Deep Creek, Tarago, Inveralochy, and Tiranna, finishing up at Goulburn on 28 January 1916. The recruiting march (actually mostly by car and truck) was repeated early in the Second World War. There were reenactments of the original march in 1988 and 2006.
