William Fearne

Also known as W. Tearne
  • Artist (Photographer)
Although there were several other residences during the 1860s, it seems that Wagga Wagga was a particularly significant location on travelling photographer William Fearne's itinerary; the local newspaper tells us he set up studios there for extended periods at regular intervals.
