Photos of creation of lakes and swamp at Butler Swamp Claremont.

Three photos of swamp area.

1. Looking across reed filled Butler’s Swamp to the south-east showing two trucks, a van and bull-dozer to level the sand fill.  In the background are houses in Elliott Road, the Football Club Pavilion, Boy Scouts and Police and Citizen’s youth Club halls.  Green’s buildings, the Station, goods shed, hotel and the semi detached houses on the left.
2. View across the swamp containing dead trees in the area being filled and the houses of Elliott, Davies and Lapsey Roads.  In the left background are Bays Transport Company, roofs of buildings in the showgrounds and the house on the corner of Gugeri and Walter Streets.  In the right background are the football club’s goalposts, pavilion, and scoreboard mounted on a tank stand.
