Drying out at Corsair Bay

1953

Many families in the 1950s did not have a car, or a camera let alone a fridge, inside toilet or washing machine. There are 2 families in this photo and it has been taken with a Box Brownie Camera owned by one lady. My early family years were photographed by this friend who is still alive today.
