Carrying wool, Sydney

    Figures sitting on top of the bales have been removed from the negative to create a clear skyline above the bales. The lower halves of their bodies can still be seen Could be worthwhile having a good look at the glass plate negative for this one.

    I had some help. It's in a book about Kerry's photographs. Much easier if you know were to look.

    [https://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Good work there! I was fascinated to see that the building was "practically ready for occupation in four months...". They did not hang around in those days. trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/71264713

    trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/163806654# - the original (non altered) version of this pic appeared in the Sydney Mail on 1st January, 1898. The pic was taken outside Winchcombe Carson's wool store and warehouse in Wattle St, Pyrmont...per the accompanying article the pic was taken on 21st December, 1897, when Sydney carrier J.J. Gilham transported the load seen here from Pyrmont to Moore's Wharf, at Millers Point... The pic was reproduced in several Australian newspapers over the years...but this appears to have been the first publication...

    This iconic outback town played an important part in the history of the Quilpie Shire, as it was once the central business center. The town is named after Ada Constance Stevens (wife of Ernest James Stevens). The Stevens family had the Tintinchilla (later Milo) pastoral run in the area. There is a story that the origin of the name is that Ada lost her hat veil (Ada-veil) when the Milo road crosses Blackwater Creek. Town and suburban lots in the town of Adavale were sold on 9 February 1881 at Charleville The town was a thriving center but, in 1917, the Western railway line did not come to the town as expected but passed further to the south where the new town of Quilpie was created along the railway line, and soon became the major town in the region while Adavale diminished. In 1930, it was decided that the seat of local government should move from Adavale to Quilpie and the Shire of Adavale was renamed the Shire of Quilpie. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adavale
