VIEW OF TOODYAY SHOWING AVON RIVER IN FLOOD, MID 1950s
1955A black & white photo of paddocks, fences, trees, buildings in centre and right distance and the flooded Avon River beyond.
Two cable lines are going across sky area from right top corner to centre left.
Front buildings are railway sheds etc. Behind is the Convent Complex. Cloudy sky. Possibly showing the Boyagerring Brook coming into the Avon River in photo centre.
This event may possibly be the Feb. 1955 flood, due to there being no records of flooding at Toodyay in 1956.
