Aboriginal Mother and Baby with supplies
An aboriginal Mother, carrying her baby on her back, taking food obtained from the Tea and Sugar train back to her wurley (a shelter or hut, made of branches and leaves). The Tea and Sugar Train (also known as Slow Mixed Goods Train No. 5205) was a specific train that provided service to isolated Australian towns on the Nullarbor Plain between Kalgoorlie and Port Augusta along the Trans-Australian Railway. This train was significant because in its early years of service provided all the supplies used by remote towns in South and Western Australia. The service ran from 1917-1996. Date: late 1930s
