The Great Forest in the Dumbalk North area

The photograph is from the Dodd collection printed in "The Mountain Forests of Gippsland", by Phyllis Reichl, 1968. Note the scaffolding and men at the tree base.

The story of the Dodd family is related later in this kit. They were early pioneers who came into the Dumbalk region via Mirboo North. Mr Dodd took many photographs some of which also appear later in this kit as well.
