Description

Korea, c. 1950-10. Forming part of a column of refugees that stretches away into the distance, Korean civilians ford a stream as they flee the fighting. Crossing the stream at centre are three domesticated cows laden with household goods, while behind them walks a boy carrying a large load on his back. At right, a woman carries her infant child on her back and a basket of goods balanced on her head, while next to her another child and a bundle of goods sit on a bicycle which her husband is pushing through the water. Another woman walks behind them carrying a large load on her head. In the background, armed Australian soldiers keep an eye on the refugees. (Donor I. Robertson)
