Description

A large group of unidentified members of the 9th Australian Infantry Brigade attending a swimming carnival. The referee/starter is sitting in a high chair (left) secured by ropes onto a narrow bridge. On the right of the chair is a greasy pole, rigged by Herbert (Bert) V Smith, which extends from the bridge over the water. This is a digitally combined composite panorama made up of two separate images. It is only available as a digital print. The two images are also available separately at E02151A and E02151B.
