Stobie pole at Prospect
A decorated stobie pole in Braund Road, Prospect, near the Prospect Primary School. In 1924, South Australian James Stobie invented the steel and concrete 'stobie pole' to carry electricity and telephone lines. Stobie poles solved the problems of the State's lack of suitable timber, and the need for a reliable supply of poles for the expansion of electricity into the countryside. In most other Australian states wooden telegraph poles are used.

The letter accompanying is dated 30 April 1894. On the back of the original Hutchinson has written "View on the road about half a mile from Port Victor. The railway from Adelaide and the main road are here running side by side. The building close to the road is Mr Hay's Lodge, and the entrance gate alongside. Mr Hay's house is on the hill and, as will be seen, is rather a pretentious structure, containing about 22 rooms. Behind a telegraph pole is my pony-cart and my mare 'Bella'.

Photograph album of the Parker and Davidson Families
The album shows aspects of station life at various sheep properties in the far north east of South Australia and the Broken Hill region, among them Buckalow, Bimbowrie, Oulnina Park, Telechie, Burta, Topar, Tantallon and Yalcowinna as well as visits to other stations in New South Wales and Victoria namely Morundah, Widgeongully and Tolarno. Three young women thought to be Grace Langloh Parker (1895-1987) and her sisters Wilga Maud (1898-?) and Una Geraldine Davidson, nee Parker (1901-1986) are central to many of the photographs and it may be that the album was compiled by Grace Parker. Holiday visits were made to Victor Harbor, Port Elliot, Inman Valley, Second Valley, Mount Gambier, Portland Victoria, Sydney and Tasmania. A number of photographs relate to the BHP towns, Iron Knob and Broken Hill. Two of the Parker daughters, thought to be Wilga and Grace, accompanied their Mother on a voyage from Sydney to the Celebes and Java in 1926, including sightseeing at Macassar in the Celebes, the Mount Bromo Volcano, Sand Sea, Borobodur, and other places in Java with the homeward voyage via Singapore, Port Darwin, Thursday Island and Cairns.
