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...

Photographic postcard of a man and two women seated at partners desk

They are, of course, sitting at a partners desk. The lady at left appears to be taking dictation, possibly in shorthand. The size of the notepad she is using is consistent with a stenographer's notepad or shorthand notepad.
