Overview

A black and white photo of a large traction engine in cleared bush.

Rear of truck visible behind tree on right. Thick trees in left middle distance.

Historical information

Same image as Shire of Toodyay photograph 2001.969. Probably the earlier date is more likely to be correct.
Due to the origin of the photo it is possible the traction engine was used on Peter Salvaire's Manmanning property in the Shire of Dowerin.
