A MUSICAL MYSTERY ...



Anyone know anything about this great photograph? It comes with Broken Hill associations, courtesy of Ian Large and Jason Roweth, and depicts a very interesting group of nineteenth-century musos (1880s-90s?). The fiddlers and the bloke on the intriguing shovel-handle bass look faintly American, maybe it’s the hats! But the cornet-player (?) is wearing bowyangs, suggesting Australia. Any thoughts in Comments, please.
