DescriptionBlack and white photograph by Jeff Carter depicting a couple and their dog lying on beach towels under the shade of a beach umbrella on Narrabeen Beach.HistoryThe beach is a popular Australian meeting place - somewhere to look and interact - a place for sport and fun. Jeff Carter has photographed Australians at rest and play, capturing the diversity of those who are drawn to the beach. His photographs document beach goers during long lazy Saturday afternoons - a time when everything closed down and
people flocked to the beach during the afternoon lull.
SignificanceThis print by Jeff Carter is a valuable document of Australian beach culture in the1960s.
