Copied from an old slide (and, in retrospect, reduced too much in size here). How much the world has changed! In those days, the custom in Australia was for passengers to throw rolls of streamers to their friends and loved ones staying behind, then hold them until they broke, as the ship pulled away from the wharf. Note too the fashions of the time.

Updated from my original posting and originally on F..r. I'd been copying some old slides. The Nella Dan was carrying a Beaver floatplane aircraft and a Bell 47 helicopter on this trip.
