This stereoscopic photograph of the Observatory Advisory Board was taken at Mount Wilson in New South Wales on 20 May 1907. This was when Alfred Lenehan, the Government Astronomer at Sydney Observatory was looking for a new site for Sydney Observatory and in it we can see E. Du Faur, C. J. Merfield, W. I. Macdonnell; all of whom were members of the Board. H. A. Lenehan is standing in front of the cairn on top of Mount Canobolas. All this effort came to nought however as the project was put on hold soon after this photograph was taken.
