As an ex professional rabbit shooter I got a kick out of this old photo. I bet a couple if not all of those rabbits were about to get up close and personal with a camp oven Grin

I will see if I can find an old one from when I was making my living from it to post beside it.
Found one and coincidentally it turns out both photos were taken near Nyngan.

I am really enjoying seeing the photos Ron.

In Texas (QLD) They have saved the old rabbit processing works. It is also a museum and has some good stuff on display as well as a lot of old photos. Apparently a train would deliver ice and rabbits were then sent back on it. If I remember correctly they said the rabbits were sent over to England. When we had the opportunity, a few years ago, to be shown through the works it wasn't officially opened so it is probably even better now.

I am also really enjoying seeing the photos Ron.

The bunny photos bring back lots of childhood memories for me. Loved going out with my older brother spotlighting and trapping.

I have another couple of photos to add. I don't know how old they are but From others I saw I would say late 1800's.

In the first photo there is what looks to be the base of a camp oven under the broom handle. It looks like it has flour in it. There is a saucepan and a frying pan in the pic also.

The second photo was very small and I have enlarged it a little to try and make things easier to see.
