Summary

The view is taken looking north across the big reservoir, through a small pear orchard towards Cliff Street (later Shepherds Hill Road). Behind the pears on the left hand side is the local Pound where stray stock are impounded. Many eucalypt trees are in the background. The big reservoir is filled with run-off from Cliff Street. The water from the reservoir is used to irrigate orchard trees and fill troughs for stock.
