Summary

[General description] The Victoria River cuts through the centre of this view, showing a rocky lightly wooded hillside on the opposite bank. In the foreground is a loaded dray with a small group of Aboriginal people sitting in its shade. The unseen horse team has been unharnessed and their collars are all stacked on the shafts of the dray. Down on the river is the 'Crayfish' and its crew who have rigged a sail to throw shade on the boat's deck. [On back of photograph] 'The Victoria River Depot, Northern Territory / The 'Crayfish' loading for stations / In the eighteen eighties'.
