Lowe family, Resolute commune, 1895

Walter and Elizabeth Lowe, with children (left to right) Harry, William, Bert, Walter and John, of Resolute commune, near Gayndah, proudly pose in front of their new home at Resolute Village, September 1895. They show off their own saddle horse, a clear sign of individualism winning over communalism. The Lowe family remained on part of the communal land after the break-up. From Jessie Lowe and Carmel McKenzie. Collection of William Metcalf
