A photo of an old photo. My late mother, Evelyn, snapped the original photo of her father, Alex, in early 1936 using her sister, Isabel's almost new Box Brownie camera. The family truck had broken an axle on the way from Kingaroy to the Darling Downs. It is the last known photo of my Grandfather. He died following a stroke a few months later.
