DescriptionThe same group of picnicking adults as seen in ANMS0227[016]. Here the group "cheers" the photographer - some with bottles, others with tea cups and one man with a breadstick. It is likely that Captain McKilliam is on the left.SignificanceThis image is a part of the Captain Robert McKilliam collection. Captain McKilliam worked for the Aberdeen White Star Line for 32 years and sailed aboard such famous clipper ships as SALAMIS and THERMOPYLAE. He moved to Sydney in 1913 where he served as Assistant Wharf Master on Darling Island.
