A portable valve radio sits open on a timber dresser, its lid propped back to reveal the His Master's Voice emblem. The case is covered in faux snakeskin, mottled grey-green and peeling at the corners. Three Bakelite knobs line the front panel. A dark oval mirror leans against the wall behind. Debris and insect casings scatter the dresser top. Bare timber posts and flaking paint form the wall beyond.

The series
Leichhardt House
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.
