Place & Date Depicted
3 Feb 1923
The Australasian Photo-Review, 15 Mar 1923, p 156 features this photograph with caption suggesting this photograph was taken 3 Feb 1923. Similarly the Kodak Works' Bulletin also shows this photograph and refers to 3 Feb 1923. Previous information had suggested this may have been taken on an earlier trip in 1907, but this has now been shown to be incorrect. -
