Description
Pioneer Beach, NT. c. June 1943. Men of the 2/1st North Australia Observers Unit (NAOU), colloquially known as the nackeroos at the camp at Bynoe Bay, west of Darwin. A rough shelter, perhaps a canteen or mess area is to the left constructed of rough hewn logs for poles and seats and sheets of bark for the roof. A larger tent with logs as poles and a tarpaulin over the roof is to the right. The water of the bay is in the distance beyond the trees.
