View across HAC grounds taken from the tower of the Main building looking towards Richmond. The building in the foreground may be the ground keeper's cottage and the tree planted in front with the plaque may be the English oak tree planted by the Governor-General, Lord Northcote, 4 April 1905. Behind the fence is the grass garden (white indicators identifying plantings) and the Apiary was to the left of the cottage.
