DescriptionCover of the Daily Pictorial Magazine depicting an image of Henry and Elaine de Chair surfing. Sir Dudley Rawson Stratford De Chair was Governor of New South Wales 1902-1909. Text reads: "A REAL AUSTRALIAN HOLIDAY, the last that they will spend.before returning to England, has been the lot of the Governor and Lady de Chair, at Kalua, the Palm Beach home of Mr A. J. Hordern. With them have been Miss Elaine and Lieut. Graham de Chair, who is aide-de-camp to his father. The young people have enjoyed all the thrills of surf-board riding, at which they have become expert. The picture on the right shows Miss Elaine de Chair coming in -cleverly on a comber, with her brother imitating her finished style on the left; while, in the smaller picture, the laughing pair support the board that has provided so many hours of happiness and fun."
