FAMILY PARTY AT "CULHAM HOMESTEAD", TOODYAY

Black and white photo. A group of 15 people - men, women and children - standing around and above on the verandah and the front steps of the third homestead at Culham, built in the 1870s.
Ivy is seen growing up under the verandah roof and around 3 verandah posts.
The steps are of brickwork & cement with potted geraniums to the sides.
The young girls are dressed in 3/4 length long sleeved dresses and boater style hats. Three boys in suits and boater hats. The four ladies and three gentlemen are in formal clothes with no hats, although one lady appears to be wearing a bonnet.
An open window is seen behind the group central to the photo.
Samuel Pole Phillips is the gentleman with the white beard at centre. Also present are Kate Mitchell, J.B. Roe and daughter in front.
