Album (23 x 28 cm) of sepia photographs (15 x 21 cm and smaller) mounted on board. Indooroopilly was first settled by Europeans in 1860 when H. C. Rawnsley purchased land south of Witton Creek. Rawnsley built the first house in the area, Witton Manor, in 1861, on the site of the present Nudgee Junior College. It was later owned by Andrew Bogle. The holding covered an area of over 70 acres with extensive river frontages. Witton Manor was later owned by Herbert Brealey Hemming, who purchased the property "Tighnabruaich" in 1904. He moved Witton Manor to the grounds of "Tighnabruaich" from its original site further upstream at Indooroopilly between 1916 and 1919, and renamed it Witton House. Hemming resided at Witton House from c1919 until c1938.

Flanking the Barcoo River at Isisford in the heart of Queensland's best central-west grazing country, Isis Downs is one of Australia's largest pastoral holdings. In its 1912 heyday under the ownership of Sir Rupert Clarke and Richard Whiting, Isis Downs ran 230,000 sheep and employed up to 150 staff during shearing, its area totalling more than 2,430 sq km. The Isis Downs shearing shed is the largest shearing shed in Australia. It consists of 52 shearing stands and is equipped with a rectangular sheep yard complex which, in its day, could hold 30,000 sheep at full capacity. It is a huge semi-circular shed which was fabricated in England, shipped to Australia and erected on site in July 1914 by the same company that built the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Only two sheds of this type and style were ever manufactured, with the other one being situated in Argentina.
