Fallen Tietkens Blaze Tree - NT

An interesting photo I came across. It concerns the tree blazed by explorer Tietkens in May 1889. Len found the tree and blaze while building the Sandy Blight Road. The b&w print photo of Len was marked "Army Public Relations Photo." I snapped a pic of it, and the accompanying explanation, at the SA State Library in Adelaide, on 2 October 2019. These two items were among a trove of archived materials relating to his books. In fact, enough to fill six boxes. They contained everything from the original hand-written manuscripts to his original sketches and drawings that were published in the books. And even some of his contracts with the publisher and royalty payment statements. :)
