    Cool photo, I think I may have just found my new assignment topic.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    @ Michael Sutton (was Sutto 007) - How did your assignment go? Anything to share?! The electric tram (1902+), the height of the Norfolk pines, Edwardian dress, the organised bathing, and the jaunty typeface style indicate c.1905.

    They are fishing - I used to watch pro fishermen at Chinamans Beach using similar methods.

    This one reminds me of a photo in the Portuguese Art Library of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation's commons collection. Check it out! www.flickr.com/photos/biblarte/4417053118/in/set-72157623...
