Description
Photograph of people outside an unknown hotel in Fitzmaurice Street, during one of the 1891 floods in Wagga Wagga. In the foreground, the water is up to the horse's chest, while three men try to keep their feet dry by standing on the carriage.
Above them on the verandah are a group of women and men, presumably employees or customers of the hotel. Three men and a boy are seated on the verandah roof with playing cards in hand, demonstrating that not even such a flood as this will deter them from their game.
