Summary

Cobdogla homestead. The buildings are newer than the thatched roofed structures from the original 1846 homestead (see B 7834). A researcher has suggested that due to the water surrounding the homestead this photograph may have been taken during the 1956 floods of the Murray River. However B 27102 shows the flood waters at a much higher level in 1956. Therefore, this photograph may have been taken during a flood in the first half of the twentieth century, possibly during the 1906 or 1909 floods. Much of the land from west of Overland Corner through to New South Wales was taken up by a pastoral lease in 1846 by John Chambers who raised purebred horses for the police and military. It was first settled as a pastoral base in 1851. John Chambers died in 1889
