  I don't know why, but these old photos almost ever have a very delicate greyscale. I love that :)

• State Library of Queensland said:

  Max Bosselmann We agree Max, it only increases their vintage appeal.

• *Kaye's Imagery* said:

  This newspaper article seems quite relevant for this wedding reception: trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/23600443

• State Library of Queensland said:

  *Kaye's Imagery* Thanks so much for your detective work! We think it is very likely a photograph of the "tete-a-tete" reception mentioned in the newspaper article you found. We're going to look more into Nunnington House and confirm. We can then add names too at least the bride and groom and a link to the articles in our catalogue. Thanks again from the SLQ Discovery Team.

  A bit of background research has confirmed this is the wedding reception of Captain Hubert Carter and Miss Violet Smith in the grounds of 'Nunnington' at Kangaroo Point, Queensland.

  According to wikipedia, F215 in 1960 would have been: F215 Graf Spee (the former HMS Flamingo) (1959–67)

• Niall McAuley said:

  She was sold to the Federal Republic of Germany in 1959, where she was renamed "Graf Spee" and used as a cadet training ship... During her service she undertook a series of training trips abroad , often with her ​​sister ship "Hipper" they i.a. repeatedly resulted in American port cities , from Victoria ( British Columbia ) in the north to Valparaiso and to Cape Horn in the South Pacific .

  S. also www.bundesarchiv.de/oeffentlichkeitsarbeit/bilder_dokumen... The Graf Spee was in Dublin together with the Hipper (F214) The ships returned to Germany on June 17, 1960 www.facebook.com/marinekalendarium/photos/pcb.76713335338...

  I think the building behind the bow of the ship is Ringsend Tech which we saw last week. www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/30691019416/in/dateposted/
