"Armidale Kempsey Road Bullock Drays 1920s, another photo from John Caling, this time a family shot on the Armidale Kempsey Road on the way to holiday at Port Macquarie." It's interesting how much life looked the same in many parts of 6the world in the Model T era. I wonder what the reason for stopping and taking this photo was.

After two pots of coffee in the morning before the trip they had to stop sometime!

Looks like a tent in the upper left corner by the telegraph pole.

….and they also lost kerosene fonts back “in the day”

Notice the car facing the camera has a different radiator than the cowl. Looks like it might be a 26-27 High radiator originally nickel plated.

The front fender and hood former says that is a heavily used 1915/'16 runabout with the much later radiator!

Wonderful photo.
Thanks all.

Great photo !! Where is this ?!? "Bullock drays" ?!? Not an ox team in sight.

Is it an optical illusion, or is the car facing the camera, right hand drive?

The reason for the stop - RnR. There is a tent pitched on the left and possibly another towards the right.

It does look like a steering wheel on the right and the horn is also on that side.

This is New South Wales, Australia. Port Macquarie is still a holiday destination.

It looks like the two guys in the middle have slouch hats and puttees covering their lower legs so they are possibly ex Army.

This area had a lot of timber harvesting at that time. I’ve got an interesting timber-getters marking hammer that came from here. If I can find it I’ll post a photo.
