Summary

[General description] Various travellers, some mounted upon horses or mules and others with horse drawn vehicles stand in front of a corrugated iron building which is the General store at Yudnamutana. The terrain is rocky and sparsely vegetated. This area was settled by pastoralists in the 1850s but the prospectors soon followed. Copper was mined from 1862 but the site had insufficient water to be viable. Mining was once again attempted in the early 1900s but the mine was abandoned by 1912. See B 38340 for a photograph taken in 1909.
