An obsolete wireless receiver sits abandoned in Leichhardt House. Dust coats its cracked casing and frayed wires, a silent relic of forgotten communication within the decaying structure.

04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

A portable valve radio sits open on a dark timber dresser. Green leatherette casing, cracked and separating at the seams. Cream lining spotted with mould. The tuning knobs are still in place, yellowed Bakelite against a rusted grille. Behind it, an arched wooden headboard leans against the wall. Strips of wallpaper hang from exposed timber, damp-stained and peeling to bare boards.

Leichhardt House

2020 · 18 photographs

Leichhardt House is a slab hut cottage in the New South Wales Southern Tablelands, around 130 years old. The building has outlasted what was built around it. A larger family home built close by in the early 1900s was destroyed in the 1964-65 fires that swept the Southern Tablelands, and a new home went up in its place. The slab hut survived. The end wall, where the chimney once stood, has been taken out and replaced with large doors so the building can keep working as a shed. The owners hold a photograph from around 1920 showing two young boys standing out the front of the same cottage, against the same slab walls. The Lost Collective photographs sit alongside that older record as a second century-on view of the same place. The exact location and the family who hold it have asked to remain unnamed.
