Description

Two silhouetted figures working in the darkened backstage area of the 4th Australian Division concert party's base theatre at Rocky Creek Convalescent Depot, Atherton, Queensland. Housed in an 'igloo' style army hut, the bulk of the stage equipment and hangings were made by the party themselves.
