Description: The library description states: The Point McLeay Mission is a group of neat cottages and outbuildings with enclosures of clipped hedges. In the foreground an orchard can be seen. The Mission was founded in 1859 by the Aborigines' Friends Association but never really prospered due to lack of financial and community support. In 1974 Point McLeay (re-named Raukkan in 1984) was handed back to the Ngarrindjeri people. [On back of photograph] 'Reproduced in the Observer, Oct. 16, 1926 / Point McLeay Mission Station / 1926'.
