Recent Acquisition
Children Playing in Paddling Pool with Smoke from a Bushfire Billowing in the Background, Woodford, New South Wales, 3 January 2002 by Philip Gostelow

The National Library has recently acquired a collection of photographs from Philip Gostelow, taken during the period 1996 to 2002. Subjects covered by the collection include Sydney Fashion Week, bushfires and firefighters, working from home, and childbirth and early childhood. This photograph, Children Playing in Paddling Pool with Smoke from a Bushfire Billowing in the Background, Woodford, New South Wales, 3 January 2002, was taken during the bushfire outbreak after last Christmas. Families, awaiting the order to evacuate their street, gathered in one garden and set up the paddling pool to keep their children cool.
