Painting and Building Work on the Property
The Hollow comprised of a number of station buildings including a fowl house, stables, kitchen, and quarters for the stockmen who worked on the property.
Painting and erecting fencing and gates were a large part of the outside work. The new gate figures quite prominently in a number of sketches and photographs.
