Musterers take time out on Lansdowne Station. They probably deserve it - there is plenty of very challenging terrain in the back ranges. Each man seems to have his favourite dog close at hand. Not everyone in the photograph has been identified. The third musterer from the left is Charles Timms, and then we see Ernest Timms, and Arthur Timms. 2009.067.0001
