Summary

Aerial view of Waikerie showing the orchards and vineyards irrigrated from the River Murray along side the township. A researcher has provided the following information: the oval depicted centre base appears under construction. It has a compacted earth bike track (velodrome) around it as many in the Riverland did at the time. This oval was cleared of trees and flattened as the Waikerie Soldier's Memorial Oval in 1946 by Returned Servicemen as a tribute to the men from Waikerie who died in the War. This photograph may have been takend in 1945-1946. The oval is now the Waikerie Lions Park.
