Historical information

Unknown occasion. Assumed to have been for a community celebration such as the Moondyne Festival (first held in 1984), due to the colonial costumes being worn.
The photograph quality - colour shifts, warm tones & slight grain texture - is a hallmark trait of late 1970s colour film prints and matches other photos from this time period in the museum collection. The vehicle in the background appears to be a classic 1970s-era aluminium touring caravan, featuring the characteristic boxy profile and multi-paned widow styling of the era.
