Summary

Navy Day celebrations at Burra in South Australia; spectators gathered together on an Oval are watching men in naval uniform, and women dressed in white playing music with brass instruments and drums near a large model of a four funnelled battleship. A researcher has suggested that this photograph was taken on the steps of the Town Hall, looking towards the Burra Creek. In the background can be seen the frame work of the old wooden swing bridge, and on the right hand side, behind the trees, the Paxton Square cottages can be seen.
