Description: This is a photograph of ‘The Boob’ at Moore River Native Settlement/Mogumber . ‘The Boob’ was the colloquial name for the gaol or lock-up, where residents, including children, were confined as punishment. The photo shows 10 people standing in front of a medium-sized window-less building made out of corrugated metal sheets and timber. There is one tree next to the building, but the structure is otherwise in full sun.
This photo is on page 80 of album 8 of the Wheatbelt Aboriginal Corporation collection of photographs relating to the Moore River Native Settlement, which is held by the State Library of Western Australia.
