article on the process of photochrom: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photochrom "A litho stone is coated with a thin layer of purified bitumen dissolved in benzene. A reversed half-tone negative is then pressed against this light-sensitive coating and an exposure in daylight made (taking from 10–30 minutes in summer, to several hours in winter). The bitumen hardens and becomes resistant to normal solvents in proportion to the light. The coating is then washed in turpentine solutions, removing the unhardened bitumen. It is then retouched in the tonal scale of the chosen color to strengthen or soften the tones as required. Each tint needs a separate stone bearing the appropriate retouched image, and prints are usually produced by at least six, and more commonly from 10 to 15 tint stones.[4]"

Similar viewpoint, 2008 and another

Here is a picture I took from the beach in 2009.

Some interesting facts: Tennis arrived in Australia in the 1870’s and soon became a popular social game. Courts began springing up across the country from the big cities to the countryside. Originally partaken by women in Europe it was immediately popular with both sexes in Australia. And since 1900 Australian players have been ranked as some of the best on the world scene. From the early days tennis was instantly popular with women although there was no financial support to help with overseas travel to attend tournaments. However, with the aid of fundraising, Daphne Akhurst made the finals of Wimbledon in 1928. Ten years later, Nancy Bolton was the first Australian woman to play in a USA Championship final. In 1963 and 1964, Lesley Bowery won the French Open Singles titles being the first Australian woman to do so. And in 1961 and 1967 she also won the mixed doubles at Wimbledon.

The small rocky headland Kirra Point separates Kirra Beach to the north and Coolangatta Beach to the south and is noted as one of the world's premier surf breaks. In the past, the surf break was known for producing high-quality barrels. Today sand pumping across the Tweed River mouth has filled it in and changed its character. The name of the neighborhood comes from Kirra Hill (28.1681°S 153.5333°E)[2] which is 27 meters (89 ft) above sea level,[3] which first appears on an 1883 survey plan by surveyor Mr Schneider. Although believed to be an Indigenous name, the specific language and meaning is unknown. For example, in the Yuggera language, kaiyar means white cockatoo while in the Kabi language kirran means fire. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirra,_Queensland

I'm fairly certain that the headland in the distance is not Burleigh Heads. The people are most likely on Greenmount point in the foreground with Kirra point in the background.
