This photograph shows what looks to be a newly established garden on Blayney railway station.
Could the train engine, features of the platform or maybe even the uniform of the station attendant give us some clues as to the date of this photo?
Can you date this photograph?
We have many other undated photographs in Photo Investigator and on our Flickr account. If you know the dates or any other interesting facts about these images please let us know.

I date the photo around 1910. I used a similar shot (obviously taken on the same day) in my 1993 book: Lines to the Lachlan – Revised Edition. The other shots shows the station sign and says “Change here for Cowra, Canowindra, Grenfell and Harden”. The line from Cowra to Canowindra opened in 1910 hence the estimated date of the photo.
