Throwback Thursday

Thomas Henry Roberts

Thomas Henry Roberts of Brunswick Avenue, Strathfield died in 1961 aged 88. But his life began far away on the goldfields of Hill End and Tambaroora, NSW in 1873. When Bernhardt Holtermann discovered the largest ever specimen of reef gold there – the famous Holtermann Nugget (weighing 286kg) in 1872, he commissioned itinerant photographers Merlin and Bayliss to photograph his find, the town and its people. This astonishing collection of photographs is now in the State Library of NSW and includes Thomas Roberts’ baby photo. Roberts went on to become a school teacher in country NSW before retiring to Strathfield.
