I came across this photo amongst my Dad's (Jack Edmonds) files, realised I hadn't included it in previous uploads. Notes with it say...

These are all local Central Eyre Peninsula kids who Dad grew up with. Other notes of Dad's read “I started
school here but left to go to Pinbong”, but presumably that was just before this photo was taken,
as another old photo of Jack’s, of “Peace Day Pygery” (later called Pinbong) School, and dated 19/9/1919, clearly shows him there.
