Frank Dixon and Charles Dixon with a group of miners posed around the entrance to a mine adit in a bush setting. The photo is believed to have been taken in Gippsland. At front centre a miner dressed waistcoat and hat is pushing a small mining hand truck on steel tramway rails running out of the mine entrance. Other miners in the background are posing with shovels, adzes and miner's picks. At front right an early-syle Trewhella Bros wooden bodied jack is lying on top of two large tree logs.
