Photo - Mt Bogong, Towanga, Possibly early 1900s

Historical information

Towanga & Mt Bogong. Mt Bogong is actually the mountain on the left at the back.
Early maps spelt Tawonga differently to the current day spelling 'Tawonga'. The haystack and fence indicate that the photo may have been taken at the turn of the century. The exotic trees are not very old.

Significance

This seems to be an early photo of Tawonga showing older style fencing and haystack and vegetation in the area.
