Australian libertymen landing from HMAS 'Kalgoorlie' on Rara Island, Seeadler Harbour, Admiralty Islands
Description
Australian sailors, stripped to there waist, arriving ashore on Rara Island, Seeadler Harbour, Manus Island in the Admiralties, in landing boats from HMAS 'Kalgoorlie'. The men seem to be at leisure, with some swimming in the water around the boats whilst others converge and relax on the beach.
