The above photo was taken at Tyntyndyer Station in early February 1862 by travelling photographers Burnell and Cole who were voyaging down the Murray River, taking photographs as they went.The people in the photo are not identified, although the Beveridge family owned Tyntyndyer and one or more brothers may be in the scene.The photographers also took a photograph at McCallum's 'Youngera Station' in front of Wirlong Homestead, and on the day the scene was captured Peter Beveridge from Tyntyndyer and his friend and guest Henry Bishop were visiting and feature in the photo. I think that Henry Bishop may also have managed to get himself into the Tyntyndyer photo as well..the mounted man on the extreme left looks very much like Henry, even though his face is not very clear. He has the same manner of bearing as Henry Bishop ( and the same hat!)
