Description: ‘The Swan Orphanage Farm’ is an image included (after p.22) in the Report by the Superintendent of Public Charities and Inspector of Industrial and Reformatory Schools, etc., for the year ending 31 December 1900.
This image shows approximately 10 boys and men standing in dirt yard, bordered by simple timber sheds, with a large two-storey house visible in the background. Most of the boys and men are holding long-handled tools such as mattocks and picks. The boys appear to be working bare-foot.
