Though it was made in England, this projector made it over 15,000kms to the Koomooloo Station in South Australia. Situated on pastoral land in the Murray and Mellee region of South Australia, Koomooloo Station operated as a sheep station from 1868 and in 1951, this projector was bought to entertain workers during the shearing season. Luckily it has a vent at the back of the casing to keep it cool because if it was used inside a shearing shed the heat would’ve been insufferable.
