Summary

[General description] A neat farm is nestled into the crater next to the Lake. It is probably the original forestry nursery, established in the 1870s, where many tree species were trialled with the aim of establishing plantations in the area. Sparsely treed hills form a backdrop. Compare with B 7837 for a view taken in the 1920s. [On back of photograph] 'Mount Gambier: Leg of Mutton Lake / Probably in the eighteen eighties.'
