Summary
JJ O'Connor riding his horse on St. Margaret Island, around 1910.
The O'Connor family leased the island for a period of time in the early 20th century. They used the island to graze their cattle in the summer and they would swim the animals across to the island. The photographer of this image, Doctor Sydney Pern, was a friend of the contributor's family, who lived in Yarram. In addition to his duties as the local GP, he was an enthusiastic amateur photographer.
