'Carving Tree. Lindsay Black No. 21.
Collymongle Bora, N.S.W.'

A clear thick set tree with deeply carved circular coils or scrolls, the top two creating a backward 'S' shape. The tree leans to the left with the left fork of the tree remaining free from carvings. On the ground behind the tree is a large fallen branch.

This particular photo was used in the November 1949 issue of Australian Women's Weekly article reporting on the removal of these carved trees by Ethnologist Norman Tindale on behalf of the South Australian Museum.
