All very well to be sentimental about it, but it was friggin' hard work, and no doubt child mortality was high.

Jack Falstaff May have to defer to someone with better agrarian knowledge, but just looks like hay to me...
Jack Falstaff said:
National Library of Ireland on The Commons Could be, but hay has to be 'made'(dried in the field) for some time after mowing and that is/was generally done by raking (hence 'hay rake') and piling in rows which were then turned with pitch forks on a regular basis until it was dry enough to cart and rick. Here the mowers are still evident, so the crop (which has a rather long stem for grass) has only just been cut and is now being bundled (not raked into piles) by the ladies. Also, it looks as if the bundles are tied (no way would that be done with hay) because they are being held at the top.

I think the Queenslander was a fantastic newspaper. I have many illustrated cuttings from 1928. Many of Henry Mobsby's photographs appeared in this paper over the years.
