A high contrast black and white photograph showing a long, receding perspective of the Paxton Square Cottages in Burra. The thick, white painted stone walls of the miners' cottages are on the left, featuring deep set windows and doors. A corrugated iron veranda covers a stone paved walkway that leads the eye toward the horizon. A small sign hanging from the veranda reads "Malowen Lowarth."
