Photograph - Colour, Clare Kathleen Gervasoni, Miners Cottage, Ballarat, 2012

Physical description

Black and white photograph of a weatherboard miners cottage known as 'Valley Inn". The differing age of extensions is evident as is the outside toilet (or dunny). The miners cottage, known as Valley Inn, is situated in Armstrong Street south, Ballarat and overlooks White Flat.

According to neighbourhood folklore the large tree to the rear of the cottage was planted in memory of a son of the owner, who was killed during World War One. The photograph of the tree was taken on 10 February 2015.
