These unusual and unique photographs are of Tasmania's Blackbob family.
Some people believe that Tasmania has a reputation for harbouring inbreeds and hillbillies.
The photographs were taken by Massey Ferguson Tractor salesman, Eric Ohlsen, in the 1940's. Eric was so shocked at the appearance and living conditions of the Blackbob family, he decided to document them photographically. There are 18 black and white 4 x 3 inch photographs in total. They show members of the Blackbob family, the farm and some animals. At least three family members appear to have massive deformities and the others wouldn't win any beauty contests.
