Ha! Seriously, 'Wagga', as the locals call it, is NSW largest inland city and a huge hub for the agriculture around. Explored 1829, surveyed 1849. Wagga means 'crow' in the local Aboriginal language. To form plurals, they repeat the word, thus Wagga Wagga means 'land of many crows'...And the locals also quip, 'Its so nice, they named it twice....

Interesting to note there doesn't seem to be any "boys" in there. A few younger men, but no apprentices

Wonder what the six guys in the middle (and one guy on the left) looking to their right saw? I also love the older guy in the back perched above everyone else.

If you look to the owners right, your left, the gent standing with his arms at his sides looks to be the son or brother of the guy you're speaking of. Same clothes and hat as well I think.
