General notes

One of 22 photographs donated by a camera collector who acquired them along with some cameras. They appear to be South Australian given the Murray River scenes and the fact that they were processed by Laubman & Pank in Adelaide. Name on the processing envelope is S. Birkin.

Historical information

Kooloola Station used to be over 10,000 acres and was a Crown Lease, Perpetual 10136, Vol. 542, Folio 40. The property was subdivided at one stage, and Kooloola now consists of 720 acres, with 3.2 kilometres of riverfront, the original 1904 homestead, 1908-1914 Shearers Quarters and Shearing / Woolshed. Also located on the property is the remains of the original Swan Reach Sandstone School, a small shack which is built into the sandstone cliffs. Many Southern Hairy Nosed Wombats also reside on the land comprising Kooloola, which the Adelaide Zoological Society Researchers come to stay in the Woolshed and study often. Kooloola Station was at one time owned by Terry Tinney, and before that, John and Joan McAuley.
