The Byrne family at Cape Moreton

Monday 5 March 2012

Just because I enjoy looking at this evocative image so much, I am posting this photograph from the Byrne family collection.

Byrne family photographed against the ocean at Cape Moreton, Moreton Island, Queensland, ca. 1913. I have lightly cropped, edited and toned the image. The catalogue record says circa 1913, but the ship on the horizon looks to me like the pilot steamer Matthew Flinders which arrived in Queensland in October 1914.
