Historical information

The brothers have been photographed at the family property 'Yeranda" at Culham on the running board of one of the first T-Model Fords in the Toodyay district.
On 6 August 1931 when the school bus was on its way to the Toodyay State School from Culham, it collided with a goods train at the Clinton Street rail crossing killing five boys, including 13-year-old Ewen Mackintosh (one of the boys in this photo) and seriously injuring his sister Effie.
