Summary

[General description] Panoramic aerial view of Mount Gambier showing the layout of the streets and town buildings. Lakes and the patchwork of farm paddocks can be seen in the distance. [On back of photograph] 'Aerial view of Mount Gambier looking south with the Blue and Valley Lakes in the background / Reproduced in the 'Observer', February 18, 1928'. A researcher has provided the following information: 'This photograph must have been taken from a hot air balloon, as there are buildings missing, for example the "Old Goal", which was opened in 1866 and still remains today (2019). The"Old Hospital" at the rim of the Valley Lake crater isn't in the photo. It was built in 1869 and demolished in 1971. While the the description says "reproduced in the Observer February 1928, the photo was taken many years before that.'
