Description :

Members of the 'Board of Enquiry' setting up for their first camp dinner, (possibly) at Owen Springs, en route to Henbury Station, Central Australia.


This photograph was originally captioned with the location as Owen Springs, however it is more likely to be on the leg travelled between Middleton Ponds Station and Angas Downs, during which the Chevrolet truck was used, rather than the first leg between Alice Springs to Middleton Ponds Station, where a car was used.
