Overview

Black and white print copy of possibly a scene of Toodyay, looking across to Mt. Anderson.
A bridge can be seen middle left, and several buildings in the middle ground and across the river. Difficult to clarify the buildings.
Foreground is a wire and post fence, with a telephone/telegraph pole in front of a bare paddock.
Picket fence is running across the right middle ground.

Historical information

The bridge visible is believed to cross the Avon River on the Bolgart Road.
Also believed to show the guest house nearby that was demolished in 1968.
Paddock with stock yard was probably a block belonging to Ernie Roach.
