Description
A large area of unrelcaimed marsh land on the Murray River. Probably taken in association with the inspection made by the Scottish Agricultural Commission of H. W. Morphett and Co's farm. This farm was built on reclaimed land near Murray Bridge, SA. One of a series of photographs taken by C. E. W. Bean during two trips he made in 1908 and 1909 to regional NSW as a journalist for the Sydney Morning Herald. The purpose of these trips was to research the wool industry of western NSW and the transportation and railway possibilities of the Darling River region. Photographs from the private collection of C. E. W. Bean held at AWM38 3DRL 6673.
