In March 2011, City of Subiaco received a letter addressed to Ken Spillman from Mary Pollard, ACT. She thought that the central cyclist was more than likely her great uncle Roderick Wilson. Roderick Wilson died in 1968 in Melbourne. Mary remembers hearing stories of Roderick picking wildflowers from Kings Park, possibly relating to the activity in the photograph.
