Jenolan Caves
Katoomba in New South Wales.

"I believe this photograph was taken to commemorate the opening of the entrance to the Jenolan Caves.

My [maternal] grandfather, Thomas Schroder, was the foreman of the work gang.

I think he is the man seated in the front with a scarf around his neck."

- Peter Sophios, Mittagong.
