In the foreground is the bridge over the River Hindmarsh near its mouth. That river separates Mr Hay's property from this, and if these two views be laid about 3 inches apart, this one on the right hand, it will give their approximate position. The distant hill is called Peeralilla, near to which we live. Sorry it is not a better photo." [The other view referred to can be seen at B 70609.]
