photographer, was such an avid photographer that in later years she was nicknamed 'Clicker Smith’. She bought her first camera, a Kodak folding one, in about 1923. The money to pay for it was earned from the sale of two pigs, purchased from her brother-in-law and fed on household scraps until big enough to sell. Mrs Smith would photograph any event in the Gunbower district. Her photographs, printed on postcards, were available for sixpence each in the early 1930s. Many appeared in the Victorian Weekly Times . In 1976, at the age of eighty-six, she was seen at the Cohuna Centenary of Local Government ceremony photographing the procession with a little 2A Box Brownie.
