Using the zoom function at the Persistent URL, I daresay that the man at the far right in this boat is the same man at the far right in this photograph: www.flickr.com/photos/powerhouse_museum/3169117294/

If it is the Lane Cove River, then it is above the current weir and clearly before the weir was built. It is not worth rowing in a four above the present weir on Fuller's road. The reason I think it above the weir is that there are no mangroves and there are mangroves downstream of the weir. Wonderful photo.

It looks more like the Hacking River to me.

good shot!

A Brief History of Widgee For thousands of years, the Widgee area was home to the Kabi Kabi aboriginals of the Wide Bay region, with one tribal group, the Kaiabara, particularly associated with Widgee. Unfortunately, the advent of European settlement resulted in much friction between the local aborigines and the settlers early on, finally resulting in the local tribes being driven from the area. Their former presence is marked today by a number of bora rings and by many of the local place names. The first European settlers arrived in Widgee in the late 1840s following William Tooth and Company's successful tender for two runs in the area. Tooth and Company's Widgee Station was renowned in its early days for the quality and quantity of beasts fattened in the area, and for the exploits of the local horsemen. The tradition of horsemanship lives on today in the annual Bushman's Carnival held each May. Source: www.widgee.info/widgee_history.htm
