DETAILS

TitleArea used by the United States 1st Cavalry Division as a parade and drill ground, 1943DescriptionThis photograph was taken from the Raymont's home overlooking a part of their property which was utilised by the American forces. Some troops can be seen in formation. The dark line of the original Old North Road from the North Pine River can be seen at the left traversing the sharp steep rise known as Bullocky Hill. Most of this land, which was originally selected by the Raymont family after survey, is now under the waters of Lake Samsonvale. There is a short section of the dirt road at the top of the hill which is still visible off Forgan Road today.Date1943Record typePhotographFormat typePhysicalOriginal format colourBlack and white
