This means the photographer was Thomas A Bradshaw, who started numbering his glass plate negatives from late 1905 A.G. is code for Alice Springs Telegraph Station This photo was taken about 200m south of the Telegraph Station looking Southwest. Many of Bradshaw’s glass plate negatives were destroyed before the remaining negatives were donated to the Alice Springs Telegraph Station by the Bradshaw family.
