Collection: Morley, Charlotte

Location: Adelaide (SA)

Remarks: 'Part 1: The following are photographs taken on a trip from Adelaide to Darwin, by motor car, and back to Adelaide by boat, round the east coast. The order of the photographs in this book is as near as possible to the order in which they were taken.

Part 11: A very interesting trip from Avondale Station to Cordillo Downs, by the mail, which goes by way of Innamincka. In all my travels I have not heard it described as anything but Australia's worst track. The cobbles themselves cover thirty miles over which, for the most part, there is no sign of a track. The mail driver carries a blackfellow to show him the way. Some prefer to drive at night and steer by the stars. My companions for the most part were blackfellow and half-caste Chinaman.'
