Bathers on the beach at Burleigh, Queensland, 1938

from State Library of Queensland

• State Library of Queensland said:

  We're very curious. What's going on in this picture? Sunscreen application, treating a bluebottle sting, something else? Your thoughts are welcome.

• Simon Miller said:

  Perhaps he's the suspicious type and dusting for fingerprints. He need look no further than the top left corner of the photo.

Beach tug of war at Southport, Gold Coast

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  Did you know? Tug of War is one of the most ancient games known to man and there is evidence that it was played across the ancient world including ancient Greece, Egypt and China. Also known as rope pulling, tugging war and war of tug, it remains today a popular sport that pits the strengths of two teams against each other and is practiced in some form in almost every country in the world. Many of these countries have their own national governing bodies and there is an international body too known as the Tug of War International Federation which has over 50 countries affiliated with it. The sport is played by both men and women, and historically was part of the Olympic Games between 1900 and 1920, but has not been included since this dates despite attempts to bring it back. There are many variations of Tug of War around the world including Sokatira in Spain’s Basque Country, Japan’s Tsunahiki, Indonesia’s Tarik Tambang and Korea’s Jul Parigi.

  I think it is Bronte Beach, not Cronulla. GoogleMapsStreetView - www.google.com.au/maps/@-33.902512,151.26823,3a,75y,170.8... Tram evidence may help with a date ...

• aussiejeff said:

  Yep...definitely NOT Cronulla Beach... ;0)

• RAHS said:

  Thanks both, we've taken another look and of course you are dead right.
