    Aunty ABC became a 'Commission' in 1932, so this photo must be after that. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Broadcasting_Corporation [busting to know what the band were playing!]

    beachcomber australia [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Good point, thanks beachcomber and quasymody! Perhaps this event was the broadcast on MS KANIMBLA? nla.gov.au/nla.news-article95930493 Too difficult to say for certain though. Great investigating! EDIT: really wouldn't be MS KANIMBLA now that you look at it, they're on a much smaller vessel.

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Ha ha! There might be an extra clue in these other photos. I have found nothing on this occasion yet, but I did find an interesting 1934 article about "SEA CHANTIES - A Dying Tradition" which may be of interest. It mentions the ABC Military Band as "causing long-dead deep-sea sailormen to wring their spectral hands in despair" ! trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/17070023

    trove.nla.gov.au/work/238388145 - the ANMM also has a Sam Hood pic of this van and cameraman
  • State Library of New South Wales said:
    covid convict the ANMM one looks like it may be a copy from a later print rather than from the original nitrate neg. The SL disposed of the original Sam Hood nitrate negs after photographing them on 35mm film and our digital copies are reproduced from the 35 mm b/w negs rather than direct from original nitrate negs in RGB.
