I run a history page for my town and there are many photos which would come to life in colour but this one in particular would have to be a favourite. Would someone be so kind as to give it a go? Circa 1917 RSL picnic at the Pines, Kapunda South Australia - raising funds to build a soldiers memorial hall

A tidy-up from me.

Hi Mish, great photo.
Can you provide a link to your site? 1917 might be too late but I did have relatives in that area in the second half of the 18th century.
Thank you :)

Well that took some doing, but I finally got there, I think.
It is a wonderful photo and a great pleasure to work on it. Good luck with the fund raising.

Of course, David - there are quite a few people jumping onboard to see what goodies I post regarding their families (there are still many families here who have been there since the beginning as well)

Oh Pat - I am gobsmacked at all the work you have put into this! I cannot even think how to thank you - I really did think people would say 'too hard!!' but you didn't ! WOW WOW WOW THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !! I am posting this now !! along with a huge thank you and credit to you xxx Just WOW !!

I would like to say a very big thank you to Jool, gisella and Peter for your extremely kind remarks, they have made my day.
Yes Peter, it did take many hours as I selected a few tree trunks at a time, each one individually traced then coloured, then I saved the picture in case my laptop crashed, as it is sometimes does.
All in all, I saved the picture probably about 7 or eight times on the tree trunks alone. Then of course the groups of people a few at a time etc. etc.
I really enjoyed doing it and it was great to see the results emerge, until finally complete.
Thank you all once again, it is much appreciated.

Mish Dee I am so pleased you love the results, I must admit I liked it too.
It is such a pleasure to have a wonderful photo like this to work on, so full of history. How on earth did they transport all those boxes, baskets, rugs etc., not forgetting the umbrellas!!
I would be very pleased if you could, when crediting the photo, please mention the restoration service of the Rootschat site.
Thank you once again for posting such a wonderful photo and for your very kind words.
Pat
