Main Title- "A mining concern at Bindi Bindi "

(10 photos, but only 1 of a car)

Secondary title- "The Camp, 1921"

Obviously not expecting rain, but the bed doesn't look particularly comfortable.

The wooden boxes are petrol cases. Each one designed to hold two 4 gallon tins of petrol. There is one tin, cut in half for use as a wash-basin on the box at the end of the stretcher.

Both the boxes (usually called 'cases') and the tins continued in use after bowsers were universal in transporting kerosene, so were later usually referred to as 'Kero cases' or 'Kero tins'

If you look closer at the back of the truck there is a second plate and cup and a wood case seat. His mate is probably taking the photo

Looks like he's doing a little weekend gold mining.
