Summary

Village settlement of Holder on the River Murray which was established in 1894 at a time of severe drought, high unemployment and the beginning of the Depression. The intention was to retain South Australian men of capital, energy and talent from deserting South Australia. The waste lands along the River Murray were irrigated into usable land. Although the settlement supported 260 people it was abandoned in 1903. The photograph shows a collection of houses and barns surrounded by scrubland.
