Summary

Pyap Settlement, River Murray. The Pyap settlement commenced in March 1894 and was abandoned in 1903. One of the problems of the settlement was the limited experience of its settlers. They did not want to work communally. Irrigation was another problem and the lack of clear management. The name Pyap is believed to have come from the Aboriginal word for a River Murray fish. This photograph shows members of the settlement outside a shelter. Under this shelter women and children can be seen enjoying afternoon tea around a table dressed with a tablecloth
