Forbes' van was used to deliver goods from the Avon store to outlying areas. Barely legible on the canvas of the van are the words "Forbes & Co. Wool (?) Buyers. Farmers Providers". The couple in the picture are most likely Charles Forbes junior, who took over the Avon store at Yankalilla about 1904, and his second wife Elizabeth Teresa (nee Smith).

Yankalilla & District Historical Society supports the cultural, spiritual, ecological and economic regeneration of the Aboriginal peoples of this place assisted by the actions and power of individuals, organisations and governments.
