Summary

View across a section of the the Patawalonga River, early morning, 19 November 1948. A number of small sailing vessels and a rowboat are moored on the river's edge, two men and a dog are in a canoe, and a large building can be seen on the far bank. 'Don Paterson and Doug Mackenzie are in the canoe and the Glenelg Town Hall can be seen directly beyond to the right of the trees. Some of the permanent sideshow buildings are in the centre distance and the old Glenelg Sailing Club building is on the right of the picture. At low tide most of this area was comprised of mud flats with only a very narrow, shallow stream snaking through.' [Information supplied by Doug Mackenzie].
