Summary

Richard and Hurtle Ragless on a prospecting expedition. Richard Ragless was one of the early settlers after having arrived on board the 'Eden' in 1838 aged 19. He joined his father and brother in a farming enterprise at Enfield. He was one of the first to use a reaping stripper. He started Montacute Flour Mills near Gepps Cross and ran sheep at Yalpara and Willochra. He won the Angas Prize in 1888 for the best conducted farm from 250 to 1000 acres. He died in 1901 at his residence called Tonsley Park at Edwardstown. The photograph shows Richard and Hurtle Ragless sitting on one camel with three other fully laden camels at the start of their prospecting expedition.
