The photo was taken in the early 1950s and shows tent structures along the rail line at Taree. Note Taree Park in background and Taree High.
The search continues for historic photographs, particularly those of the tent city which housed workers and their families during the construction of theNorth Coast Railway from the early 1900s to the 1920s.
The organisers of the centenary of rail celebrations in Taree next month are hoping to display historic photographs during the celebrations on Saturday, May 11.
