c. 1918, Photograph, BRG 386/28
Album of signed photographs called 'The Eucalypts' 1910-1918, a society featuring Rev. A.H. Gifford, Senator Benny, George McEwin, Mr. Justice Cleland, Alfred M. Bonython, Sir Wallace Sandford, Rev. Wilfred Harris, Dr H.F. Shorney, Sir Mellis Napier, Harold Reid, E.W. Benham, Frank H. Counsell. On the cover of the album is a quote, "with gray green scimitars defying the sun", which is an appropriation from the poem 'Among the Sandhills' by Laurence Hope. Reverend Wilfred Harris was farewelled from the group in 1919 when he left for England. "The President (Mr. J. M. Napier), in behalf of the society, presented Mr. Harris with an album containing the photographs of the members as a reminder of happy years of friendship." (The Journal, 23 January 1919).
