A photograph of produce being loaded onto a wagon at the Drouin railway yards c1908.
The wagon is pulled by Bert Currie's bullock team.
The old Drouin Railway Station, built around 1881, was demolished to make way for the electrification and duplication of the railway line in 1954.
An old wooden stairs can be seen on the right of the photograph, near the tree.
The stairs led up to the wooden overpass bridge leading to South Rd.
The old goods shed with its distinctive roof shape, now demolished, can also be seen.
Bert (Albert) Currie had carting contracts that took him all over the Gippsland area.
He was well known for being able to shift whole buildings with his team of bullocks.
Bert often worked in conjunction with Aleck Morrison if more than one team - consisting of six bullocks - was needed.
In 1908, the Lardner Post Office building was erected in the Currie's yard and then moved by the team to Lardners Track.
Bert's parents arrived in the district soon after his birth in 1875 from Ballarat. He spent his entire life in the district and died in 1933.
