Louisa Lawson (mother of author Henry Lawson), her son Charles William and her sister Phoebe Albury (dressmaker), stand outside Mrs Albury's dressmaking shop in the Gulgong area. Henry Lawson lived at Gulgong as a young boy and his 1889 poem, ‘Roaring Days‘, is a nostalgic ode to the gold rush days. The same year Louisa launched the campaign for female suffrage and announced the formation of the Dawn Club.
