PHOTO OF THE WEEK

In last week’s Photo of the Week, I posted a photo that was described as a typical farm house in the northwest of Tasmania. I had wondered whether anyone knew where the photo was taken, and despite several suggestions, I was not able to find an answer.

However, had I had the hindsight to look further i.e. to look through the same batch of photos in the Tasmanian Archives, that is, with similar serial numbers apart from the last two digits, I would have had my answer. But I didn't, not until today. Below is a photo with the caption: “Farmer on tractor in the Sheffield area.” As it turns out, this photo is a closeup of the photo posted last week. ​

In the same batch of photos there is one entitled: “Boy on horse with colt in North West Tasmania.” Does anyone recognise him? It  was taken in the Sheffield area in 1951. ​
