This image comes from a collection of single photographs and seven long panoramic black and white photographs documenting the proposed site of Canberra as the Australian federal capital, including the site of the Scrivener Dam. These photographs were collected by Ethel Cruickshank, daughter of Charles Scrivener, the surveyor of the Yass–Canberra district.

The photographs were taken between 1909 and 1913, and were later donated to the National Archives.
