collection.maas.museum/object/321716 - the PHM also have a print of this pic... trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/163991150/16811180 - a photoshopped/composite version of this pic appeared in the Sydney Mail on 2nd March, 1904...in a pictorial feature article on farming in the Narromine district of Central Western NSW (see pic at bottom of 1st page of link)... The pic that appeared in the Sydney Mail, appears to be a composite, incorporating a second photo taken at a slightly earlier/late stage...as you can see, in the Sydney Mail pic, the chap on horseback has been photoshopped out...in the Sydney Mail pic he appears in the mid distance near the teams on the right...in addition, in the Sydney Mail pic the teams on the right don't quite match...they're in slightly different positions, etc... The Sydney Mail's caption: 'Ploughs at work at C. Rice's Narwonah. During the season Mr. Rice will use 12 of T. Robinson and Co.'s ploughs.' It's unclear when this pic was taken...one of the other pics in the Sydney Mail's feature article was evidently taken at the end of the 1903 harvest...my guess is these ploughing pics might have been taken on a later occasion... trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/75311984 - the Dubbo Liberal, 8th July, 1911 - per this item, Charles Rice evidently sold Narwonah in 1911...he'd evidently been there some 25 years... trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/144596730 - Wagga Daily Advertiser, 13th March, 1936...this brief obit for Charles Rice gives some bio details...I suspect Charles Rice might be the chap on horseback seen in the PHM pic... trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/17341381 - SMH, 10th March, 1936...brief obit here also...

trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/163788163 - the Sydney Mail, 19th December, 1896...the sketch titled 'A Forest Road' that appears in this 'Picturesque New South Wales' montage looks to have been drawn from this pic... Looks to be the same horse and rider www.flickr.com/photos/powerhouse_museum/2448019588/

trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/163662889/16780823# - this pic appeared in the Sydney Mail on 4th September, 1907 in a pictorial on the Dorrigo district...it formed the right side of a panorama titled 'John Nobbs's Dairy Farm'...see pic bottom of page... The left side of the panorama www.flickr.com/photos/powerhouse_museum/2363531874/ Some of the other Dorrigo pics that appeared in this issue of the Sydney Mail are also in the PHM's collection, and they're also on the PHM's Flickr photostream...they come up if you click on the 'Sydney Mail, 4th September, 1907' tag I've added...
