    Yay! Yay! Yay!

    Is this a long exposure, or was the bore just "on" all the time?
  • Arnaldo Principe do Amaral said:
    Yes!!!!!!

    George, Charles Kerry was contracted by the Queensland Government to complete a photographic survey of all artesian bores in the state, although this is not necessarily one of the plates associated with that series.

    It was common for these types of bores to run all the time.

    See an example view of the same Yarmouth Bore attributed to circa 1910 here:

    I understand that the Tyrrell collection holds lots of the bore views.

    Wisely perhaps, the PHM is strictly rationing these pics as few have the interesting background such as this.

    Congratulations on your first 1,000 Powerhouse Museum Collection; only another 6,903 Tyrrell images to go! I hope the other 'bore' pictures do not live up to their name.
