    I am not an expert on cars, but I think it is a Ford Model T. The poor car deserves special mention for what they put it through! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Model_T
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Yes, a Model T Ford! ... "... Arriving in Longreach in August 1919, they acquired a Model T Ford, as a transport for the survey, and were accompanied by a mechanic, George Gorham.[26][29] Leaving Longreach on 18 August 1919, the group traveled through Winton, Kynuna and McKinlay, reaching the town of Cloncurry on 20 August 1919.[22] They were the first people to travel across the Gulf of Carpentaria, using an automobile. ... ...

    beachcomber australia A hidden feature! I used to be able to do this with a different function years ago.... Is that what I assume is a termite mound in the background?

    What a beautifully produced map. I love the drawings at top right.
  • Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection said:
    I agree. These old maps and plans really are beautiful and the detail in each one is extraordinary.
  • Luc said:
    This map is amazing. I can even see my district along the river.
  • Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection said:
    Thanks for your comment, Historically_Sympathetic. We're hoping to add more maps to our photostream soon.
  • Material Quince said:
    It's amazing. I didn't realise Minto had settled so early. Also I love the area that says "Cow Pasture" now where modern day Hoxton Park, Hinchinbrook and Green Valley lie. Why does the map appear to be on its "side" though? Appearing to show the areas of south-west Sydney facing north. It makes for a weird perspective. I think I can see a symbol showing north, but I'm so used to seeing maps with north facing upward these days, it took a few seconds to get the sense of perspective on the map initially.

Eastern Boundary Stone

    Eastern Boundary Stone – Then and Now (85 years later)

    As might be expected there are few changes in 85 years. This stone is located 100 feet southeast of the intersection of Eastern and Southern Avenues. To see a Google map with photographs of 38 of the original 40 boundary stones, and GPS coordinates, click here.
