Overview

A coloured photograph of Rokeby Road facing South. The bitumen of the road is removed, leaving only yellow sand. A small portion of bitumen is visible near the middle of the image. Two blue excavators are on the road. One is scooping sand and the other is lifting sand in the excavator bucket. The lettering 'KATO WOLFE' is visible along the boom of both excavators. Visible black lettering along the body of one excavator reads 'WOLFE CONSTRUCTION CO, HD-770 2918777'. There is a man wearing a blue top and blue shorts standing between the two excavators. Shopfronts are visible along the left side of the image, and there are six people standing along the sidewalk. Two of these people are in orange hard hats and four are wearing red vests. A faded red date stamp on the bottom right corner reads '21 1 '89'.
Reverse: A printed label reads 'ROKEBY ROAD UPGRADING - , BARKER ROAD TO BAGOT ROAD, 21/1/89'
