Condon: 1908 Falk 'Loading Wool, Condon, Nor-West WA', from a young boy in Perth to his father in Victoria. A truly astonishing photograph of a Tall Ship deliberately beached for the purpose of taking on cargo, standing bolt-upright with a wooden ladder up to the loading port, and emptied carts & horses in the foreground. Condon was the first port serving the Pilbara. This photo was probably taken before the port was developed.
Kalgoorlie: Falk 'Panoramic View...' (used in Saskatchewan!), 'Post Office...' & 'Hannan Street', Bon Marché Stores 'HANNAN ST...', Messageries Maritimes 'Mine Kalgoorlie' (a terrific photo, very fine unused) and a novelty card, minor imperfections.
