Summary

One of a series of 38 photographs taken during a trip along the Birdsville Track in 1939, this image shows three men and a woman beside a partially unloaded truck. Verse on the image reads: 'Our cobber George will cook the damper / While Kennie stirs the stew / Otto thinks of Ted Wade's hamper ' and the lady passenger just looks blue. / Saxa Sam - Cannuwalkalanna - July 1939'. The people are (L-R) George Williams, Ken Crombie, Vera O'Donouhue and Otto Anderson. An aerial from the transmitter is on the driver's seat. The radio could send messages to Yunta but could not receive.
