Summary

[General description] Two men, one looking through a telescope, are standing under a flagstaff which is situated on a sand dune at the water's edge. They are looking out at two paddle steamers which are entering the sea mouth of the Murray River. Pelicans and other seabirds can be seen, and what appears to be a partly submerged rib cage of a whale. [On front of photograph] 'The sea mouth of the Murray' (Another hand) 'Probably in the eighteen fifties'.
