    trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/16750699 - this pic appeared in the SMH on 2nd February, 1931...

    Per the SMH, this is Arawatta...which had won the Australian 18-Foot Championship sailed on Sydney Harbour the previous Saturday. It's not clear when this pic was taken, but this is the first publication I've found to date...

    trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/16628135 - SMH, 24th February, 1930...also see this pic taken the previous year, when Arawatta came 2nd in the 18-Foot State Championship...

    This Lux girl features in several Lux adverts that ran in the society magazine the Home in 1927...I haven't yet found her in an advert that features this particular photo...but my guess is the various pics of her were all taken on the same occasion...

    The pic that appeared in the July 1927 issue of the Home
