is Mt. Mary. A tree, further to the 

 right, ahnost hides the piggery, 

 and the slaughter house above it. 

 The St. Hubert's homestead is also 

 hardly distinguishable through the 

 pines surrounding it which show in 

 the centre of the picture. On the line 

 of hill showing between Mr. Blogg's 

 house and his shed, Mr. Gilbert's 

 place can be seen ; while to the right 

 of the milking shed a cluster of build- 

 ings mark Mr. Pochon's and Mr. 

 Prior's buildings in line; the former 

 being about half-a-mile the nearer in 

 reality. This photograph was taken 

 from the levee bank before mentioned, 

 which begins on this farm, the suc- 

 cess of which is demonstrated by Mr. 

 Blogg being able to cultivate the 

 whole of his ground during the past 

 season of heavy rainfall. A small 

 portion of this bank may be seen in 

 the right of the picture. 



Turning to photograph 2 the view 

 shows the estate from the top of ]Mt. 

 Mary. In this, Messrs. Whitehead 

 Bros. ' farm and one of the dwellings 

 are shown nearest on the left. Directly 

 over the house, and still to the left 

 are Mr. Prior's house and shedding. 

 Over Mr. Whitehead's milking shed 

 is seen the old "No. i " St. 

 Hubert's shed, now owned by Mr. 

 Herkes. The pines in the centre 

 again hide much of the old home- 

 stead. To the left of this, lies Mr. 

 Gilbert's farm steading. Over that 

 again is seen the Chateau Yering ; 

 and Mr. Pochon's farm is over Mr. 

 Herkes' shed. From these photo- 

 graphs some slight idea of the posi- 

 tion as well as the extent of the sub- 

 divided estate may be gained, for in 

 No. I nothing of the Chateau nor of 

 Whitehead's can be seen, and in 

 No. 2 almost nothing shown in i is 

 in view ; while from neither can the 

 size of the Chateau or St. Hubert's 

 homesteads be gauged.
