HARVESTING AT TWINE FARM AT YULGERING
c. 1906 - 1908Very faded black and white photo of a team of four horses and a Nicholson & Morrow stripper harvester with a man at the controls, going through a crop of probably wheat.
The stripper has a chute at the side to which are attached 2 X 4 Bushell wheat bags.
The photo is pre 1908 as the 4 Bushell bags were changed then to 3 Bushell bags due to complaints by wharf workers of the weight (approx.100lbs), of the larger bags.

"James Sturgess [Sturges] Twine Farm out at Yulgering. Harvesting"
The Yulgering property is located in the Shire of Victoria Plains. The property was owned by the Murphys in 1904, and bought by the Twines in c1906, and they built the homestead shortly after, living in a bush camp initially. The 'Yulgering' homestead is claimed to be one of the oldest houses in the Calingiri area. In 1923, the Stone family purchased the place from Twines.
